Julius Erving's legendary play led the team to its first ABA title in 1974. The tragic death of European superstar Drazen Petrovic in 1993 is etched into basketball fans' hearts worldwide. Jason Kidd's iconic grit steered New Jersey to back to back Finals appearances in the early 2000s. Author Rick Laughland charts the brutal lows and exuberant highs throughout the history of the Nets.
