Brooklyn Nets superfan Jeffrey Gamblero, who compared being picked up and taken out of Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night by security without his prosthetic leg to "being abducted by aliens," remains distraught over the incident and says he does not feel like himself.
Gamblero limped to his seats located along the baseline at Barclays Center prior to the second half of Friday night's 98-75 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It was his first game since the incident, and he was greeted with well wishes from Nets fans and Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. Gamblero said he hopes to feel like his old self again by the February NBA All-Star break.
"I'm Jeffrey Vanchiro right now," he told ESPNNewYork.com, referring to his legal name. "I'm looking for Jeffrey Gamblero. If you find him, let me know. ... I'm alive. I'm not my normal self, but I'm working towards getting back to that. I have a lot of recovery to do: physically, mentally, emotionally. My goal is to get back to being Jeffrey Gamblero by the All-Star break."
