The Nets began as part of the American Basketball Association (ABA) back in 1967. They later joined the NBA in 1976, marking a new chapter. Moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn in 2012 was a huge step. The rebranding from New Jersey Nets to Brooklyn Nets brought new energy and a fresh identity.
Throughout the years, the Nets have had several playoff runs. One of their best was in 2002 when they reached the NBA Finals. Jason Kidd, a legendary point guard, played a key role in that success. His leadership helped shape the team’s competitive edge. The franchise has also set records for most wins and scoring averages over different seasons.
