new jersey nets

The New Jersey Nets are a professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association that plays in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. The team plays in the Prudential Center in Newark.[1] They will relocate to the borough of Brooklyn in New York City beginning in the 2012-2013 season once the Barclays Center is completed, and will change their name to the Brooklyn Nets . The franchise was established in 1967 as a founding member of the American Basketball Association, with trucking magnate Arthur Brown as the owner. Brown had operated several AAU teams in and around New York City, and was viewed as an ideal pick to run the nascent league's New York franchise.
