The\u00a0Brooklyn Nets<\/a>\u00a0have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the “New Jersey Americans”.<\/p>\n

Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York\u00a0Nets<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0New Jersey Nets<\/a>\u00a0before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.<\/p>\n

To commemorate the players who played for the\u00a0Nets<\/a>\u00a0over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers,\u00a0Nets<\/a>\u00a0Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise’s jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 16th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 14 which has has had a total of 29 players wear the number in the history of the team.<\/p>\n

The first of those players wearing No. 14 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets<\/a> era, wing alum Gerald Green. After ending his high school career, Green was picked up with the 18th overall selection of the 2005 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n

The Houston, Texas native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Celtics. He would also have stints with the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>, Houston Rockets<\/a>, Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, and abroad before he would sign with New Jersey in 2012.<\/p>\n

His stay with the team would span 31 games of a single season, ending when he signed with the Indiana Pacers<\/a> in the next offseason. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Green wore only jersey No. 14 and put up 12.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.<\/p>\n
