Mikhail Prokhorov is spicing up the blossoming Knicks-Nets rivalry. The Brooklyn Nets owner described New York Knicks owner James Dolan as "that little man" to a New York Magazine writer in a recently published story. The absentee Russian billionaire is reported to be 6-foot-8, while the reclusive Dolan is not nearly as tall as his counterpart. "Prokhorov told me back in December that he plans on attending a quarter of the regular-season games and 'all the playoff ones.'
