It took 14 seasons in the borough of Brooklyn to honor and acknowledge the Nets history prior to the move, but better late than never.
The Nets will be holding "Nets Fest" this Sunday and it will certainly have some New Jersey Nets flare.
The Nets are partly honoring their history due to the Knicks taking over the New York City market.
With watch parties during the NBA Finals being held in the shadow of Barclays Center, it became clear to the Nets public relations staff and marketing department that they needed to go back and cater to their loyal fans in both New Jersey and Long Island.
Kenyon Martin, Kenny Anderson, Buck Williams, Albert King, Isaiah Whitehead, and Kerry Kittles are the Nets “alumni” at Brooklyn Nets Fest this Sunday.

The Nets missed a major opportunity to become a regional team with roots in Long Island and New Jersey, but now on the heels of the Knicks championship, this harkening back to earlier eras may be a blessing in disguise for a franchise still struggling for an identity.
