Great Moments in New Jersey Nets History

Kid Returns - East Rutherford, NJ, July 24 - The New Jersey Nets have re-signed free agent guard Jason Kidd, Nets President/General Manager Rod Thorn announced today. As per club policy, terms of the agreement were not released. " We are obviously delighted to re-sign Jason to a long-term contract," said Thorn. " He is an elite performer who has been instrumental in the team's success over the past two seasons." The New Jersey Nets originally obtained the 6-4 Kidd on July 18, 2001 along with Chrid Dudely in exchange for Stephon Marbury, Johnny Newman and Soumaila Samake. In his two seasons with the Nets, Kidd has averaged 16.7 points and 9.3 assists during the regular season, and 19.8 points and 8.6 assists over the course of 40 NBA Playoff games.

Overall, the nine-year veteran has career stats of 16.7 points and 9.3 assists during the regular season and marks of 17.3 points and 9.0 assists in the playoffs. A four-time All-NBA First Team honoree and a three-time All-Defensive First Team selection, Kidd became the first New Jersey Nets player to lead the league in assists this past season, averaging 8.9 assists per game while averaging a career-high 18.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.2 steals. Kidd ranked second in the Eastern Conference in double-doubles (31), and recorded the most double-doubles of any guard in the NBA. Kidd, who was named Second Team All-NBA and All-Defensive Second Team, was named 'Eastern Conference Player of the Month' for December, making him the only point guard in the league to cop the league's 'Conference Player of the Month' award. Kidd also garnered the 'Eastern Conference Player of the Week' award on two different occasions.

Julius Erving The game of basketball had never seen anything like him when Julius Erving entered the professional ranks in 1971 when he joined the ABA's Virginia Squires. Although he had yet to make a name for himself nationally, the rival NBA had immediately taken notice of him. While Virginia could not afford to keep Erving, the ABA didn't want to lose him to the NBA either, so New Jersey Nets' owner Roy Boe spearheaded a deal that kept Erving in the ABA and gave him a national stage by bringing him home to the New York area. The move proved to be a stroke of genius for the New Jersey Nets and a veritable savior for the struggling league. After coming to the Nets in 1973, Erving led Kevin Loughery's team to its first ABA Title while averaging 27.4 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He took home regular season and post-season MVP awards as well. In 1974-75 Erving recorded similar numbers and earned MVP accolades again. The only disappointment was a shocking first-round playoff loss to the Spirits of St. Louis.

At the 1976 ABA All-Star Game, Erving stole the show. In a half-time slam dunk contest. Although there were five competitors, everyone knew it would come down to a showdown between Erving and hometown favorite David "Skywalker" Thompson. As both superstars (now Hall of Famers) traded dunks, Erving saved his best for last. He started at the foul line and began pacing in the opposite direction of the basket. When he got to the opposite foul line, the crowd quieted because they knew that they were going to see something never done before. Then suddenly, Doctor J took off, trotted down the court, leaped from the foul line and slammed the ball through the rim. The fans erupted. Later that year, the New Jersey Nets capped off their memorable run by winning the last ABA title over the powerful Denver Nuggets. In game 1 of the series, before 19,034 fans in Denver, Erving tallied 45 points, including a game winning 18-footer at the buzzer. In game 2, a 127-121 loss, he hit for 48 points. For the series, he averaged 37.6 points and 14.2 rebounds and shot 60 percent from the field. Dr. J had set the standard for basketball exellence for years to come.
