It’s true that the Brooklyn Nets franchise has had more bad that good since joining the NBA as part of its merger with the ABA in 1976. In 42 NBA seasons, the Nets have just 19 playoff appearances and have topped the .500 mark just 14 times.
They experienced much more success in the ABA, reaching the postseason in each of the league’s last seven seasons, winning two championships in three Finals appearances.
Although they had only four winning seasons, the final three years in the ABA still rank as the best regular seasons in franchise history.
