In episode one of One Night in Brooklyn presented by Beam Suntory, Kenyon Martin, Derrick Coleman, Kenny Anderson, & Buck Williams look back on their NBA Draft Day experiences. From the nerves and excitement to the moment their names were called, they share stories you’ve never heard before.

Someone said in the youtube comments I'm glad the Nets started embracing their history. I 100% agree with that.

Glad they’ve been embracing NJ Nets history and legends .

We need another retro throwback . The grey ones from the J Kidd era would look great with our home court

My Nets squads of the early 90s. My favorite NY and college player along with Drazen formed Voltron. They had next.

You ever wonder how the 90s would have played out if Drazen and Bias lived?

The eastern conference might have been very different

I dunno how I feel about this. Those 2000s Nets will always be legends, but Brooklyn Nets is something completely different to me. I wish we could have done the NHL/NBA double in 2003

The Celtics would have won at least one more ring.

Obviously it’s not definitive. But hypothesizing is fun sometimes.

I love to bring it up because everyone just assumes that if certain cards fell differently, that history plays out the way it did no matter what.

And it’s like, really? The Bulls win 6 titles even if Len Bias lives? Even if Drazen Petrovic lives? Even if Arvydas Sabonis comes over in his prime?

How can anyone be so sure?
I mean, maybe. But people having no doubts is wild to me.

You know, I hadn't really thought about it, but I agree. I don't think there is a good grey jersey in the league now. Them old Nets joints work and would actually stand out.
