Since becoming owner of the Brooklyn Nets, Mikhail Prokhorov has become somewhat of a quotable entity.Recently, he was interviewed by Steve Serby over at New York Post and provided an interesting to question about marriage:Q: Is marriage something you would consider some day?A: I have said that if the Nets don’t win the NBA championship within five years, I will punish myself by getting married. We are in year three. So no one is more interested in winning a championship than yours truly.Another interesting answer that Mikhail provided was about the person he hadn't met but would like to meet:Q: People you haven’t met and would like to meet?A: This person called Honey Boo Boo is at the top of my list at the moment. From Moscow it looks as though the US has lost its collective mind on that.
