Exceedingly Quotable Nets Owner Mikhail Prokhorov Makes An Appearance

Don't be worried about reports swirling that the Nets are for sale:
Don't be worried that coach Jason Kidd left after just one season to join the cellar-dwelling Milwaukee Bucks:

Prokhorov basically only talks to the media yearly, but when he does he sure makes it count.
