Teletopez Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Bruce Ratner's gift for salesmanship is matched only by his determination, as over the past five years he has sold his vision of pro basketball in Brooklyn to countless politicians, sponsors, community groups, and even some economists.
