Jason Kidd got to the Finals twice as a Net, then three years after leaving New Jersey, got his ring in Dallas. Kenyon Martin never got to the Finals again. Nor did Keith Van Horn. But now, one of the players who thrilled Nets fans 15 years ago will get what is almost certainly his last chance.
As Fred Kerber notes, Richard Jefferson tied a record this week by going the longest time -- 13 years -- between Finals appearances, from 2013 with the Nets to this week with the Cavaliers.
