On the "Players of note" section, "Basketball Hall of Famers": Julius Erving Drazen Petrovic Rick Barry Nate Archibald Bob McAdoo Brian Scalabrine - Is it a joke or what?!--Lironos 08:27, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There is no mention of the Nets mascot "Sly." I am not a wiki guy and did not find an appropriate section to add this in. Rather than create a sloppy new section myself, somebody else could add it. As a nets fan how could this not be included but also mascots are important information in respects to sports teams. http://www.nba.com/nets/mascot/sly_index.html

When exactly did the Mets and Jets play on Long Island? That has to be an error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lobejks (talk • contribs) 19:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The Mets currently play on Long Island at Shea Stadium and the Jets played there from 1964-1983. --Michael Greiner 23:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image

There's an image of the new Jersey Americans logo at Image:NJAmericans1.gif but it's rather grainy - don't know whether it should go into the relevant section of the article or not? -- Francs 2000 22:05, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Where's the 1990-1997 logo? WAVY 10 19:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you delete Brooklyn?

Put it back!

hi i'm the biggest nets fan!!!=)

[edit] Proposed move to Brooklyn

Brooklyn - Ratner has not stated he would sell the team if the sale did not go through - its obvious that he wants the team in BKLYN, but he has made no statement that he'd sell if the arena falls through Schnu 04:50, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Rumors of move to St Louis, Ottawa or Montreal - where have you seen these rumors? I tried searching for any info and could not find any info on this Schnu 18:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Owner

It's currently listed as Jay-Z. While he is a partial owner, Bruce Ratner is the majority owner. Should they both be listed, or just Ratner? If that's the case, why not find the whole ownership group?

I'm changing it back to Ratner until further notice.

[edit] Unsourced

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NJAmericans.GIF

Image:NJAmericans.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vince Carter is not captain

In the roster part of the page Vince Carter is listed as a captain, he was never named captain by the Nets.

[edit] Prudential Center move

I thought that the Prudential Center was made so that the Nets would have a home while they were building New Meadowlands Arena on the site of Izod Center. What happened to that? I thought that they would have said something. Plus, what happened to the New Meadowlands Arena? I've got an artist's rendering of it, but I can't find it.

The Nets are moving to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. There is no new arena being built at the Meadowlands, only a new stadium and the Xanadu mall. The Nets were never planning to move to Newark as a part of the Prudential Center. --Michael Greiner 04:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logos

We need an organized logo section with a nice table. Anyone? Basketball one 10 00:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
