The NBA brought out all the big guns Monday afternoon. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was there, as was New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Also on hand was Knicks head coach Derek Fisher, Nets forward Andrei Kirilenko, Knicks big manCole Aldrich, Orlando Magic guard Willie Green, and on her first day on the job officially players union Executive Director Michele Roberts.
All of them came to the Midland Beach area of Staten Island — an area ravaged by Hurricane Sandy — to open the playground there (and the coaches and players ran an NBA FIT basketball clinic for more than 150 students).
