Deadspin
It wasn't the best season for the New Jersey Nets — but hey, Vince Carter is still around! — but that's not stopping the Nets from maximizing all corporate sponsorship opportunities.
Earlier this year, the Nets signed a deal with T-Mobile for a "Stay Connected" promotion to run throughout the playoffs. The presumption, of course, was that the Nets would be in the playoffs. So in addition to the "prize packages" of "allowing fans to have lunch with Nets dancers, participate in a Porsche driving school, and play in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament," they will, in fact, have the opportunity to watch a playoff game with coach Lawrence Frank. Because, you know, he won't be busy.
We desperately hope a Deadspin reader wins this promotion. So many questions!
It has to just kill you that Byron Scott is still coaching and you aren't. It hurts, right?
Are you a ginger kid?
Man, it must suck to be stuck here while everyone else is out, you know, coaching. Hey, pass the nachos, would you?

I'd rather watch a Nets game with a drunken Bruce Willis.
It's the middle finger kid, all grown up!
God damn it, why couldn't Dolan have run this promotion?

/can't think of any relevant comment to make concerning the Nets
How long do you think before Jay-Z fires your pale ass?
How about I take the Porsche from the driving school and use it to run over Vince Carter?
Next time use the oven mitts, Larry.
Does lunch with the Nets dancers include eating at the Y?
I'll only sign up if they let Richard Jefferson tickle my prostate.
@Felix Pie w/ a Twist: +1. I was going to say that the Nets made me yawn, too, but... yours is funnier.
@Jefferson Short Bus: +1
How come you wait until there are only 5 minutes left to partner Anelka with Drogba?
Oh wait, wrong dumbass coach.
What's Wanda up to nowadays, Doogie?
Watching Nets basketball makes me scream too
it's a day-walker.
Sunrise was almost upon him and Ginger Vampire had not yet feasted.
BUT MOM I WANT THE TOY BASKETBALL NOWWWWWW
@Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!: Are you a male between the age of 18 and 80? RJ will do it for free, no need to win a promotion! He only asks that you return the favor.
UFIA!!!
Does clicking on this story count as a Rick Roll?
I'd rather enjoy watching the game with Frank. He would get 1/2 off kids prices and I could say:
"we gonna see you in Brooklyn pip squeak?"
Duncan Face: You're doing it wrong!
Riise's to pieces.
