Herb Teretsky, Brooklyn Nets scorekeeper legend, reflects on career
Herb Teretsky, 67, does not think of himself as a superstar.
He has kept score for the Nets for the past 47 years and plans to work four more years to reach a career benchmark. The dedicated scorekeeper has not missed a game since 1984.
Born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn and now living in Bayside, Teretsky says that “being a scorekeeper for the Nets is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get,” he said, quoting the famous line from “Forrest Gump.”
