Nets haven’t forgotten their ABA title teams — and are honoring them the right way

The Brooklyn Nets are preparing to honour the franchise’s American Basketball Association title teams, recognising a part of the team’s history that can receive less attention than New York’s better-known championship sides. The article contrasts this planned recognition with the frequent anniversary celebrations given to other local teams.

It notes that the 1986 Mets’ 40th anniversary was relatively muted, while the 1970s Knicks have long received attention, particularly before their championship drought ended. The Yankees, by contrast, have won titles in most decades, making anniversaries almost an annual occurrence.
