#15, Vince Carter

Position: F-G
Born: Jan 26, 1977
Height: 6-6 / 1,98
Weight: 220 lbs. / 99,8 kg.
College: North Carolina
NBA Career: Toronto Raptors (98-99 | 04-05); New Jersey Nets (04-05 | Present)

One of the most exciting players in the NBA. Carter set the league ablaze when he entered as the fifth overall selection in the 1998 NBA Draft with an arsenal of acrobatic dunks and scoring ability. He became a Canadian icon when he led the Toronto Raptors to postseason play during his time there. His overall league-wide popularity made him a perennial leader in all-star voting. With his impressive perimeter shooting touch to go along with his athleticism, he regained his prominence as a top player with the New Jersey Nets after suffering injuries while with the Raptors.


#35, Jason Collins

Position: F-C
Born: Dec 2, 1978
Height: 7-0 / 2,13
Weight: 255 lbs. / 115,7 kg.
College: Stanford
NBA Career: New Jersey Nets (01-02 | Present)

As a rookie along with Richard Jefferson, Collins played a significant role in the franchise's first ever NBA Finals berth in 2002 against the Los Angeles Lakers. In the 2002-03 NBA season Collins took over the starting center role for the Nets and helped the franchise back to the NBA Finals. Around the league Collins is considered an underrated post defender and is praised for his defense and his contributions to the team. Prior to the 2004-05 season Jason Collins signed a $25 million contract extension with New Jersey for five more years.


#24, Richard Jefferson

Position: F-G
Born: Jun 21, 1980
Height: 6-7 / 2,01
Weight: 225 lbs. / 102,1 kg.
College: Arizona
NBA Career: New Jersey Nets (01-02 | Present)

Richard Jefferson entered the NBA after his junior season at Arizona when selected by the Houston Rockets in the first round (13th pick overall) of the 2001 NBA Draft. He was quickly traded to the New Jersey Nets and many may not have expected to hear so much from the athletic wing player. But teamed with a point guard like Jason Kidd, Jefferson was in the right place at the right time as he has come to be recognized as one of the games best finishers and dunkers as well as a tough defender.


#5, Jason Kidd

Position: G
Born: Mar 23, 1973
Height: 6-4 / 1,93
Weight: 210 lbs. / 95,3 kg.
College: California
NBA Career: Dallas Mavericks (94-95 | 96-97); Phoenix Suns (96-97 | 00-01); New Jersey Nets (01-02 | Present)

Jason Kidd heraled as a one of a kind point guard since high school went to Cal and continued to turn heads with his amazing passing skills and tenacious defense. He was selected second overall in the 1994 NBA Draft after his sophomore season. He quickly made his impact and was named NBA co-Rookie of the Year (with Grant Hill). However, the mixture of the three "J's", his teammates of Jamal Mashburn and Jim Jackson did not work as well as first conceived and the trio was broken up. But during the past few seasons, Kidd has become one of the most respected point guards and best players in the league. He's done this with a self-less attitude and the ability to give his teammates the best opportunity to score with an uptempo offense, which is unique in today's slower and isolated oriented offenses and his pinpoint passing. He also has improved his perimeter shooting while maintaining his defensive presence.


#12, Nenad Krstic

Position: C
Born: Jul 25, 1983
Height: 7-0 / 2,13
Weight: 240 lbs. / 108,9 kg.
College: Serbia & Montenegro
NBA Career: New Jersey Nets (04-05 | Present)

Krstic had consistently improved at a great pace as his rookie season progressed. He has a wide skill set for a big man, including refined post moves and fantastic shooting touch from eighteen feet. Nenad's teammates and coach have fondly nicknamed him Curly.


#0, Jeff McInnis

Position: G
Born: Oct 22, 1974
Height: 6-4 / 1,93
Weight: 179 lbs. / 81,2 kg.
College: North Carolina
NBA Career: Denver Nuggets (96-97); Washington Wizards (98-99); Los Angeles Clippers (99-00 | 01-02); Portland Trail Blazers (02-03 | 03-04); Cleveland Cavaliers (03-04 | 04-05); New Jersey Nets (Present)

Nets were looking to strengthen our backcourt during the offseason, and by signing Jeff, they felt that goal was accomplished. McInnis is a proven NBA veteran who can play both the one and the two. Creativity off the dribble, scoring prowess, athletic ability, backup with a starter's mentality, defensively challenged at times, attitude often in need of serious adjustment, potential troublemaker for team chemistry.


#31, Lamond Murray

Position: F
Born: Apr 20, 1973
Height: 6-7 / 2,01
Weight: 235 lbs. / 106,6 kg.
College: California
NBA Career: Los Angeles Clippers (94-95 | 98-99); Cleveland Cavaliers (99-00 | 01-02); Toronto Raptors (03-04 | 04-05); New Jersey Nets (Present)

Known for dead-eye shooting ability, instant offense, defensive liability, potential attitude problem over playing time, former Net-killer. This is Lamond's 10th year in the NBA. Played with Jason Kidd at California.


#7, Bostjan Nachbar

Position: F
Born: Jul 3, 1980
Height: 6-9 / 2,06
Weight: 221 lbs. / 100,2 kg.
College: Slovenia
NBA Career: Houston Rockets (02-03 | 04-05); New Orleans-Oklahoma City Hornets (04-05 | 05-06); New Jersey Nets (Present)

Nachbar started his professional career joining KK Union Olimpija basketball club in season 1997/98. He played with Olimpija in the Euroleague, where he scored 7 points and grabbed 2 rebounds per game. In the 2000/01 season he played for Benetton Basket Treviso basketball club, as the youngest Italian league player. With Benetton, he scored 4 points and grabbed 2 rebounds in the Euroleague. In the next season, he even helped Benetton get into the final 4 of the Euroleague, because he improved his statistics to 13 points and 4 rebounds per game. In his best game against Idea Slask Wroclaw he scored 28 points, where he hit 6 three pointers.


#10, Zoran Planinic

Position: G-F
Born: Sep 12, 1982
Height: 6-7 / 2,01
Weight: 200 lbs. / 90,7 kg.
College: Croatia
NBA Career: New Jersey Nets (03-04 | Present)

He has the ability to run the fast break, creativity and driving ability, footspeed; but lack of focus at times and has out-of-control moments that ruin everything else. Wildly talented, at times showing flashes of brilliance. Once thought of as the point guard of the future, now potentially more suited to the small forward position.


#30, Cliff Robinson

Position: F-C
Born: Dec 16, 1966
Height: 6-10 / 2,08
Weight: 240 lbs. / 108,9 kg.
College: Connecticut
NBA Career: Portland Trail Blazers (89-90 | 96-97); Phoenix Suns (97-98 | 00-01); Detroit Pistons (01-02 | 02-03); Golden State Warriors (03-04 | 04-05); New Jersey Nets (04-05 | Present)

Cliff's the smart, tough veteran that will give you what you need, when you need it. Good defender, can shoot the three, was a scorer in his time. Exceptional role model; the consummate professional.


#41, John Thomas

Position: C
Born: Sep 8, 1975
Height: 6-9 / 2,06
Weight: 265 lbs. / 120,2 kg.
College: Minnesota
NBA Career: Boston Celtics (97-98); Toronto Raptors (97-98 | 99-00); Minnesota Timberwolves (04-05); Memphis Grizzlies, Atlanta Hawks (05-06); New Jersey Nets (Present)

Fresh off an NCAA Final Four season where he was captain and emotional leader of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Didn't play in NBA since 99-00 season.


#21, Antoine Wright

Position: G-F
Born: Feb 6, 1984
Height: 6-7 / 2,01
Weight: 210 lbs. / 95,3 kg.
College: Texas A&M
NBA Career: New Jersey Nets (Present)

Named First Team All-Big 12 by AP as a junior, the first such honor for a Texas A&M player in school history; Also earned All-District honors from the NABC and USBWA. A great slasher/scorer, a defensive mindset, with footspeed and a nice long distance shooting.
