Jersey Number History of NBA Teams

The Brooklyn Nets, founded in 1967, have a rich history of jersey numbers worn by over 600 players, with jersey No. 00 being notable for having six players, including Royce O'Neal and Rodions Kurucs. O'Neal, who played for the Nets during the 2022-23 season, averaged 8.3 points per game before being traded to the Phoenix Suns. The Boston Celtics, with 68 different jersey numbers in their history, spotlighted Nenad Krstic, who played 24 games in 2011 after being traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder, averaging 9.1 points per game. Meanwhile, Bojan Bogdanovic's time with the Detroit Pistons ended mid-season, leading to his trade to the Nets, where his debut remains uncertain due to recovery from injuries. The Oklahoma City Thunder, which has also seen a variety of jerseys since 1967, highlighted Rick Brunson, who had a brief stint in the SuperSonics era, averaging 2.5 points in just four games. The coverage of these jersey histories serves to commemorate the players who have contributed to the legacy of their respective franchises.
