Fan lore
The weird, wonderful, and argument-starting stuff.
- ABA champions (1974, 1976) before the NBA merger; banners still matter in Brooklyn.
- Jason Kidd’s Jersey teams reached back-to-back Finals (2002-03).
- Barclays era opened with Deron Williams / Joe Johnson splash.
Continuous franchises keep relocated history. Conference titles count from 1970-71, when the NBA split into conferences. Season boards and roster live on the other team tabs.
