About New Jersey Nets

The New Jersey Nets franchise has endured its share of difficulties since it first took the floor in 1967. One of 11 original American Basketball Association teams, the club has played in six arenas in the New York metropolitan area. Along the way, the franchise soared to the top of the ABA on the back of Julius "Dr. J" Erving, then fell to the cellar upon entry into the NBA. The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the Nets' slow rise to respectability in the NBA's Eastern Conference and, following a 43-39 mark in 1997-98 and an appearance in the playoffs, the franchise appears to be back on solid ground.

The New York press turned Julius Erving into an overnight media sensation, and "Dr. J" turned the Nets into a championship-caliber club and a box-office bonanza. He was surrounded by a young but talented supporting cast. Erving was only 23 years old; his cohorts in the starting lineup were rookies Kenon (age 22) and Williamson (21), and second-year guard Brian Taylor (22). The "old man" of the starting five was center Billy Paultz, a four-year veteran at 25. The grateful recipient of this plethora of talent was Kevin Loughery, who replaced Lou Carnesecca as the Nets' head coach.

The New York Nets expected to enter the NBA as a solid contender, and they acquired Nate "Tiny" Archibald from Kansas City to improve the team's backcourt. The franchise fell apart, however, before the season began, when a salary dispute erupted between Erving and Roy Boe. The Nets' owner ended the dispute by selling his star player to the Philadelphia 76ers for $3 million. All remaining hope for the Nets evaporated in January when Archibald broke his foot. 

The Nets' inaugural season in the NBA was the first of five lean years for the franchise. Boe moved the team to New Jersey in the offseason and settled into Rutgers Athletic Center, where the club played for four years while waiting for a new arena to be built at the Meadowlands. The Nets' new home was 40 miles from New York City, and the franchise's financial problems went from bad to worse.

The 1985-86 season was the first of seven straight in which the New Jersey Nets failed to crack the .500 mark. Injuries were to blame during 1986-87. Dawkins lasted six contests before back problems all but ended his career. Otis Birdsong was lost for the season after just seven games. Buck Williams was the only player to appear in all 82 contests. Orlando Woolridge, who came to New Jersey from Chicago as a free agent, led the team in scoring with 20.7 points per game. The Nets tied the Knicks for last place in the Atlantic Division, with both teams posting 24-58 records.

The New Jersey Nets experienced a franchise-best season during their 2001-02 campaign. With a club-record 52-win season, New Jersey was Atlantic Division Champions and Eastern Conference Champions and made their first appearance in the NBA Finals. The Nets good fortune began with the trade for All-Star point guard Jason Kidd in July 2001 and escalated from there. 

Sophomore Kenyon Martin continued to show why he was a number one draft pick the season before, while rookie Richard Jefferson caught the attention of many with his excellent play during his first year. Jason Kidd moved into the NBA's top 5 list of all-time for triple-doubles. Kidd finished the regular season with 46.

After defeating Indiana, Charlotte and Boston, respecitvely, the New Jersey Nets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. Even with the loss, 2001-02 was a magical season and will go down in Nets history as the best ever.
