Brooklyn Nets history
This club began in 1967 in the ABA, a rival league, as the New Jersey Americans. A year later it moved to Long Island as the New York Nets and, with Julius Erving, won ABA titles in 1974 and 1976. When the leagues merged in 1976, the Nets were one of four ABA teams taken in.
Back in New Jersey from 1977 to 2012, the Nets reached the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003 behind point guard Jason Kidd but lost both. In 2012 they moved to Barclays Center, the first major team in Brooklyn since the Dodgers left in 1957. They have made the playoffs eight times there, with conference semifinal runs in 2014 and 2021.
