Nets hope new marketing push draws fans to Newark
Marketing the New Jersey Nets last season was almost an impossible task — the worst team in the National Basketball Association , no well-known star player on the roster, playing as lame ducks in their final season at 29-year-old Izod Center, and all in a weak economy.

Vince Carter is one of the worst defensive players I have ever seen. They will not come close to a championship. And Jason Kidd is the leader of that team.
50 + win season, 2nd round of the playoffs. The min that is expected from this team, otherwise, I will be disappointed, since I am a Nets fan.
The franchise was established in 1967 as part of the American Basketball Association, with trucking magnate Arthur Brown as the owner. The team was originally known as the New York Americans, and Brown intended for it to play at the 69th Regiment Armory on Manhattan’s east side, but pressure from the New York Knicks forced the Armory to back out three months before opening day.[1]
Brown found it difficult to find a suitable venue in New York City. Some were booked solid, and others had owners who didn’t want to anger the Knicks by opening their doors to a rival team. Scrambling for a venue, the team settled on the Armory in Teaneck, New Jersey, and changed its squad name to the New Jersey Americans, though its franchise name remained the New York Americans.[1]
The Americans did fairly well in their first season, tying the Kentucky Colonels for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Division. However, the Armory was booked, forcing the Americans to scramble for a last-minute replacement.
i hope he starts as the NETS’ SG
