The Brooklyn Nets are entering the metaverse, it seems. And they expect their fans to follow them.
The team has applied for a trademark for “Netaverse,” a play on the word for a virtual reality world that Mark Zuckerberg made popular when he renamed Facebook as Meta last fall.
In their applications, first reported on by Boardroom, a site co-founded by Nets star and prominent anti-vaxer Kevin Durant and his manager Rich Kleiman, the team aims to create “three dimensional multi-camera virtual reality game services,” which would offer a more immersive viewing experience for fans.
The technology was teased on the YES Network, which airs the Nets’ games, during a game on Jan. 15
