NOTHING BUT NET: NETS CO-OWNER GETS RAVES IN PAPER PROFILE

          Nets co-Owner LEWIS KATZ has taken the team, "and the
     NBA, by storm," and is "leaving fans and other owners
     wondering: Who is this upstart with all the big ideas?"  
     according to Brad Parks of the Newark STAR-LEDGER.  Katz is
     "brilliant because he knows people, and made his fortune on
     the ability to read people."  Parks: "It doesn't matter who
     you are, Lewis Katz can relate to you. ... [He] doesn't want
     the attention of owning a sports franchise, doesn't need to
     be in the newspapers.  Don't be surprised if the YankeeNets
     merger ends up being a deal that makes [Yankees Owner
     George] Steinbrenner look like a winner publicly but is, in
     fact, more beneficial to the Nets" (STAR-LEDGER, 4/18).
