Calling All AC Contributors: A Challenge Awaits

Rename the New Jersey Nets Basketball Team

Han Van Meegerin
Associated Content is often referred to as a content mill. Nothing is ever perfect. Rotten apples are always mixed in with the good. Though my association with Associated Content has been short, I always resent when people make generalizations that Associated Content Contributors write crap and that their work is not fit to print. I read many articles by my fellow Associated Contributors. Their content has taught me many lessons across many facets of life.

I just read the following article on Yahoo's website:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Mikhail-Prokhorov-might-rename-the-New-Jersey-Ne?urn=nba,242483.

In short, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, the new owner of New Jersey Nets is giving consideration to renaming the NBA franchise that he purchased for about 500 million dollars. Accordingly, I am issuing a challenge to all my fellow Associated Contributors. Let's help Mikhail Prokhov provide the new name for the New Jersey Nets. Let Mikhail Prokhov know that Associated Content is alive and well. Perhaps Associated Content's new friend, Yahoo will feature this contest. If someone among us is the winner, perhaps that Contributor will find notoriety. Who knows maybe someone will invite that Contributor to attend a New Jersey Nets game.

Mikhail Prokhov has a fascinating life story. I encourage all of you to read the following articles to gain some perspective on this successful man.

    I dig the New Jersey Nots (2 comments down). I definitely think the "Nets" is lacking in creativity. I also like Jack's thought.

    How about a weather-related name, like the Hurricanes? Or the New Jersey Storms?

    Han, the state insect for NJ is the honey bee. How about the New Jersey Honey Bees?
