One of Danny Wolf's first actions as a Brooklyn Net was to correct his mother, Tina Wolf, on live television, by making sure she knew he was not drafted by the New York Knicks.
The Wolf family conducted a live television interview minutes after he was drafted Wednesday night, with Danny's father, Josh Wolf, standing in between his NBA son and wife.
While the 7-foot Wolf stood in a Nets hat, Tina took to the mic to talk about how proud she was of her son.
'We're so excited to go to New York,' Tina said. 'It was what he wanted and it happened!'
Danny can be seen mouthing, 'Brooklyn! Brooklyn!' to his mother to correct her and not interrupt her interview.
Of course, Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, but most would think when heading to New York, a trip to Manhattan is the likely destination, home of the rival Knicks.

The Nets and Knicks play their home games about five miles from each other, with the first round of the draft taking place at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, adding a further burn on Tina's flub.
It was a highly emotional night for the Wolf family, as the former Yale and Michigan star had a lifelong dream come true by hearing his name called.
Wolf was one of four Brooklyn draft picks on the evening, the last of the quartet to hear his name called in the first round.
The Nets final two selections of Wolf and Ben Saraf marked a milestone for the NBA, as they became the first Israeli teammates in the league.
Wolf will be tasked with bringing a championship to the state of New York, as his mom correctly predicted, just not for the team she had in mind.
