Wednesday night, NetsDaily and The Brooklyn Game teamed up with Nets fans to honor Jeffrey Gamblero, the Nets “super-fan” who was thrown out of Madison Square Garden by security and passed away two weeks later, during the last Nets-Knicks game of the season. Jeffrey was known equally for his spirit and style, and we asked fans in the arena to honor that style: in the arena by rocking the neon shirt and showing the style, and outside the arena by posting with the hashtag #BK4Jeff and changing their avatar to neon. To no surprise, you guys showed up — and so did the Nets, beating the Knicks 100-98.
Here’s a look at the #BK4Jeff night in tweets.
