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 16th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 14 which has has had a total of 29 players wear the number in the history of the team.
The first of those players wearing No. 14 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, big man alum Jamie Feick. After ending his college career at Michigan State, Feick was picked up with the 48th overall selection of the 1996 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Lexington, Ohio native would play part of the first season of his pro career with the Charlotte Hornets instead, though, after being cut by the Sixers. He also played for the San Antonio Spurs and Milwaukee Bucks before he signed with New Jersey in 1999.
His stay with the team would span parts of three seasons, his last in the NBA. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Feick wore only jersey No. 14 and put up 5.8 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.
