I’m 32 and have been following the Nets since I was 8 years old in 2002 and since then I’ve reflected on how unlucky this franchise has been :

- our draft history in the 2000s only netted 2 maybe 3 above average to all star players :(Kmart, Nenad Kristic, and Brook Lopez

- lost in the finals twice with Kmart

- When Kristic was turning the corner and could’ve helped us become at least dark horse contenders he tore his ACL in 06

- We went in 12-70 and didn’t get the first pick

-When we had Dwill , KG, Joe Jesus and Pierce: Brook Lopez was out for the 2013-14 playoffs…. Who knows what difference he could’ve made.

- fast forward to the big 3 , it took a once and a lifetime pandemic plus a dirty play (Giannis) for us not to get a ring and implode.

-falling 8th last year as well even though I’m excited for Egor

With all that being said we are OVERDUE for some luck let’s hope we get a top 3 pick tomorrow. Let’s go Nets!

-Fall to sixth in the 2026 NBA draft….
