Nets’ Plumlee is good as gold
Brooklyn big man enjoys surprising run to World Cup title
Mason Plumlee will show up for Nets training camp with a little extra jewelry around his neck later this month. And I’m not talking about the kind you can buy at the Fulton Mall.
Brooklyn’s All-Rookie First Team center received a gold medal Sunday in Madrid, Spain as a member of Team USA after it routed Serbia, 129-92, in the championship game of the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
“It’s a dream come true,” Plumlee said via the Nets’ website. “It’s every player’s dream, and I am just fortunate to be a part of this team.”
