The Net is scoring points with Fort Greene kids.Nets point guard Darius Morris dribbled over to the Madison Square Boy and Girls Club Navy Yard Clubhouse on Nassau Street for a NBA Math Hoops tournament on Thursday. The fast-paced board game helps kids learn basic math skills utilizing the actual statistics of their favorite NBA and WNBA players. The Boys and Girls Club hosted an all-star tournament for the best Math Hoops teams from around the region. And Morris came by to cheer them on, and apparently to get some deep thinking done.
