Franchise History:
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 franchise was the result of the ABA's desire to field a team in New York City, the nation's media center and glamour capital. Having a team in the Big Apple would provide the league with some desperately needed legitimacy. What it ended up with was the New Jersey Americans, a ragtag team that played in a converted armory in Teaneck, New Jersey. It was neither what the league nor owner Arthur Brown had in mind, but it was the best Brown could do after a frantic search for an arena in Manhattan had turned up nothing.
