22. not really
That's a media creation. Same way they say that NY is a Yankees town or NY is a Giants town.

If the team is good, and they have star players, they'll be the talk of the town.

NY welcomed the Mets with open arms and while they don't have the pizzaz the Yankees do - in their glory days they drew 3,000,000 fans and filled up Shea Stadium.

The Jets are arguably more popular in NY City and the suburbs than the Giants are.

The Knicks suck right now, and will continue to suck for at least another decade. The time is perfect for the Nets to make their move to Brooklyn and claim an identity for themselves.

The Dodgers were beloved, so will the Nets be when they come in.
