Something gets Times Building climber's attention

According to the New Jersey Nets, the New York Times Building climber paused on the 38th floor to check out the Barclays Center Showroom of suites that will go into the new arena slated for Brooklyn. " 

The Nets might like to think the the climber, reported to be Alain Robert, was interested in a suite, odds are he was just taking a break Perhaps the guys over at the Nets got a little too excited, though, photoshopping "I Want A Suite" on the daredevil's shirt.

“We appreciate Mr. Robert’s potential interest in purchasing a Barclays Center luxury suite and we look forward to giving him a special tour of the Showroom,” said Brett Yormark, president and CEO of Nets Sports and Entertainment. “To make things go more smoothly, however, we strongly encourage Mr. Robert to take the elevator to the 38th floor where we will have someone to greet him.”
