What Stopped “The Best Team in the World”? 🧐
Early 2000s Nets had the hype — led by Jason Kidd, they were fast, unselfish, and stacked with talent. But despite back-to-back Finals appearances, they couldn’t get over the hump. Was it lack of star power compared to juggernauts like the Lakers and Spurs? Or did egos, injuries, and roster limitations hold them back? #NBAHistory #JasonKidd #NewJersey #NetsNation #NBALegends #NBAWhatIf #NBA #Sports

They had a bunch of 15 point dudes. They needed a nice big or a perennial scorer

a combo of having a bad gm and uninterested fan base. I applaud getting j Kidd but honestly team overachieved. think about this, how would the nets have fared if Kobe was drafted to the nets instead of Kerry kittles? Instead Kobe got picked later in the draft. Say what you want about Kobe but he was an x factor against Tim Duncans Spurs. I mean nobody knows if Kobe would have forced his way out of jersey like he did with Charlotte but we'll never know
