EPISODE SUMMARY

The NBA Playoffs are upon us and many consider the Brooklyn Nets the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. But it wasn't always that way. For 35 years the Nets called New Jersey home and in that time the team saw occasional bouts of glory (think Jason Kidd), but a lot of losing and empty buildings as well (think Stephon Marbury). Special guest Abe Evans-El joins us to talk about the team, with a special focus on the 1990's and early 2000's. They were almost champions in 2002 and 2003. They got almost a month out of Alonzo Mourning in 2003. And they were almost the Swamp Dragons in the 1990's. We talk about it all in this week's episode.
