New Jersey Nets, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Nets play at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and wear jerseys of red, blue, and white. The team, which was once based in New York City, was named the Nets to rhyme with the names of two of New York's other professional sports teams, football's New York Jets and baseball's New York Mets.

One of the 11 original teams of the American Basketball Association (ABA), the Nets won two championships in the nine-year history of that league. During this time star forward Julius Erving led the team.

After an early playoff loss in 1975, the Nets returned in the 1975-76 season with a 55-29 win-loss record. Led by Erving, who again won the league's MVP award, the Nets bested the Denver Nuggets in the ABA Finals to earn their second championship.

Before the 1976-77 season the ABA folded, and the Nets were one of four ABA teams that joined the NBA. After their first NBA season the team moved to New Jersey, and in 1978 Boe sold the team.

In 1983-84 the Nets fielded their strongest team since joining the NBA, featuring center Darryl Dawkins, forward Buck Williams, and guards Otis Birdsong and Michael Ray Richardson. The team posted a 45-37 record in the regular season and defeated the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs before falling to the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

In the early 1990s the Nets fielded a young team that featured forward Derrick Coleman and guards Drazen Petrovic and Kenny Anderson. Guided by former Detroit Pistons head coach Chuck Daly, the trio led New Jersey to its first winning mark in seven years, a 43-39 record during the 1992-93 season. In the playoffs, however, the Nets fell in the first round. The team was stunned when Petrovic died in an automobile accident a month after the playoffs.

After the 2000-01 season the Nets traded Marbury and several other players to the Phoenix Suns for guard Jason Kidd. In his first season with the team, Kidd led the Nets to their first NBA Finals appearance, where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.
