In 1967, the Nets began as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), originally called the New Jersey Americans.²

After moving and rebranding as the New York Nets, the team secured two ABA championships in 1974 and 1976 behind superstar forward Julius Erving. When the ABA merged with the NBA later that year, the Nets transitioned to the NBA before eventually relocating to New Jersey in 1977, where they remained until 2012.²

Their 2012 move to Barclays Center in Brooklyn marked a new chapter, connecting the team to one of basketball’s most historic cities. With multiple Hall of Fame players a part of its history, the Nets’ legacy is defined by reinvention and resilience.²
