Previously on That NBA Lottery Pick, we mentioned a story about New Jersey Nets CEO Brett Yormark yelling a fan wearing a paper-bag over his head during a Nets loss to the Miami Heat last week.
Well, Yormark and the paper-bag guy (named Chris Lisi) are burying the hatchet in the term of good public relations for the Nets. They will meet for a televised lunch to discuss the fate of the Nets franchise tomorrow at 12pm on the New Jersey Nets website. Seriously, I'm not kidding.
We get more from New Jersey.com:
The chief executive of the Nets will have lunch with a fan who recently wore a brown bag over his head to protest the team's woeful season.To be honest, I'm not one of those people who think sthat ownership should have to listen to the common fan when it comes to running their franchise but I am a fan of good public relations.
Nets CEO Brett Yormark and Chris Lisi of Middletown will sit down for lunch Tuesday at the Nets' headquarters.
Lunch, of course, will be brown-bag style.
Yormark had a brief heated exchange with Lisi a week ago after seeing him with the brown bag on his head during a game.
The meeting will be streamed live at www.njnets.com. Yormark and Lisi will be joined by Nets radio broadcasters Chris Carrino and Tim Capstraw.
It's nice to see the Nets turn a negative into a positive for once this season and I will commend them for doing something with this strange situation.
Maybe at least now, the Nets can focus on other things like the clean-up on aisle five.
