Brooklyn Nets 2024-25 NBA Championship Betting
Not that long ago, the Brooklyn Nets had a fantasy basketball team lineup led by James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant. To their credit, the Nets did go all in and put together three of their best seasons in a generation. But the ultimate goal of an NBA championship never materialized. While the Nets had talent, they did not have a cohesive team. These days, Brooklyn is an anonymous team of losers who can’t even make the play-in round. However, sharps took a liking to the Nets this season. Brooklyn showed a modest profit and better-than-expected value.

Brooklyn Nets History
This franchise was born as the New Jersey Americans in 1967 and became the New York Nets the following year. The Nets made it to the ABA Finals three times in five years, winning the title twice with Julius Erving. Unfortunately, they were forced to sell Erving’s contract as a result of their move to the NBA, and that led to the Nets failing to post a winning record in their first five seasons in the new league. They only won one playoff series in their first 25 years in the NBA, and there was talk of this team moving as a result.
The New Jersey Nets didn’t win their first division title until the 2001-02 season. That was also the year when the Nets won their second playoff series, and they won two more to make their first NBA Finals appearance. Jason Kidd and a cast of solid role players ended up winning the Eastern Conference for two straight seasons, but the Nets could only win two games in their consecutive NBA Finals appearances.
Once again, the Nets reinvented themselves at the start of the 2010s. They moved to Brooklyn and became the Brooklyn Nets, and they built a state-of-the-art stadium. Joseph Tsai became the sole owner of the franchise in 2019, and he immediately went about making this team a contender by bringing in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The Nets traded for James Harden, too, and they were seen as a potential dynasty in the making. However, Brooklyn won just one playoff series with Durant and Irving.
