QUEEN Latifah - cast in the upcoming movie "Just Wright" as a physical therapist who helps a Nets Basketball player (played by Common) rehab his knee - insists she's always been a Nets fan. Shooting at the team's arena in the Meadowlands last week, Latifah, who grew up in Newark, told The Post's Fred Kerber: "Darryl Dawkins used to get his hair cut at the barber shop over my house. So I've been a Nets fan since I was a kid." Dawkins, a k a Chocolate Thunder, had names for his dunks, such as "In Your Face Disgrace," "Earthquaker Shaker" and "Turbo Sexophonic Delight."
