Greatest Moments in Brooklyn Nets History
The Brooklyn Nets have delivered plenty of memorable moments that their fans will remember for generations to come. Let’s take a look at some of them.
On the Road to the NBA Finals – The Brooklyn Nets were outstanding in the 2001-02 season. That year, the team qualified for the postseason and won the Conference Semifinals and Finals by defeating the Charlotte Hornets, 4-1 and the Boston Celtics, 4-2 respectively. They later crossed paths with the Los Angeles Lakers for the NBA Championship. Unfortunately, the team couldn’t get past them and lost the bout, 4-0.
Randy Foye’s Buzzer Beater Knocks off Charlotte Hornets – On December 26, 2017, the Brooklyn Nets squared off against the Charlotte Hornets at the Barclays Center. That day, something spectacular happened. It looked like Hornets were going to win the game as they were leading 118-117 but then at the last minute, Randy Foye knocked down a game winning, buzzer beating three-pointer to win it for his team, 120-118. The head coach of the Nets, Kenny Atkins was ecstatic and stated, "I’m just thrilled with our group. We went through some tough times recently. So to come back and get a win like this … the way we got it is special.”
Arch Rivals of the Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets have intense rivalries with the likes of the New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors.
Nets-Knicks Rivalry – The rivalry between the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks started in 1976 when the former joined the NBA as part of the ABA-NBA merger. The media outlets have dubbed this rivalry, ‘Battle of the Boroughs’ or ‘Clash of the Boroughs’ due to the close proximity of both teams and the overall history of Brooklyn and Manhattan. In addition, these two sides compete in Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference which adds fuel to the fire.
Nets-Raptors Rivalry – The Brooklyn Nets and the Toronto Raptors became rivals when Vince Carter was traded to the Nets on December 17, 2004. This trade created the big three of Richard Jefferson, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd in Brooklyn. Since then, these two teams have developed a rivalry which got more intense when the Nets defeated the Raptors in the first round of the playoffs, 4-3 in the 2013-14 season.
