Brooklyn Nets
After the Nets' move to Brooklyn, the team introduced a new superhero mascot named BrooklyKnight (a pun on the demonym "Brooklynite") on November 3, 2012. In his first appearance, he was lowered from the ceiling of the Barclays Center amid sparks and fanfare and introduced by Nets PA announcer David Diamante: "Here to defend Brooklyn, he's the BrooklyKnight." The mascot was co-created by Marvel Entertainment, a sister company to NBA broadcasters ABC and ESPN. The character also starred in 32-page comic book published by Marvel titled "BrooklyKnight #1", written by Jason Aaron with art by Mike Deodato. After the Nets' second season in Brooklyn, the BrooklyKnight mascot was retired.
Mitch Creek
On 20 August 2018, Creek signed a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal with the Brooklyn Nets. On 12 October 2018, Creek was waived by the Nets after appearing in one preseason game. Ten days later, he was acquired by Brooklyn's NBA G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. On 25 January 2019, he signed a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets. He made his NBA debut later that day, entering the game against the New York Knicks to take free throws for an injured Rondae Hollis-Jefferson in the fourth quarter, making one of them.
