New York Magazine Begins a Prokhorov Circus

DateFriday, October 23, 2009 at 07:02PM

New York Magazine's Sports section celebrates the likely purchase of New Jersey Nets by Russia's richest man Mikhail Prokhorov by introducing The Mikhail Prokhorov Theater. He is the last of the numerous Russian oligarchs who left their footprint on New York society pages. First were Senator Andrey Vavilov and airline mogul [TK].

We're not sure everyone understands the ramifications — the awesome ramifications — of Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov potentially buying the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets. He has agreed to the deal, but he needs the approval of 23 of the 30 NBA owners. We desperately want him to get it. Why? Because Mikhail Prokhorov is unlike any other billionaire, any sports owner, any human.
