The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans".
Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.
To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The fourth of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 2, which has has had a total of 23 players wear the number in the history of the team.
The first of those players wearing No. 2 did so in the New Jersey Nets era, small forward alum Evric Gray. After ending his college career at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas, Gray went unselected in the 1993 NBA draft.
Instead, he was picked up by New Jersey as an unsigned free agent that same summer, and would spend the first (and only) season of his NBA career with the Nets, a brief tenure of just 5 games.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Gray wore only jersey No. 2, and put up 2.6 points per game.
