The Nets, A Retrospective

Drazen Petrovic

If not for tragedy, Drazen Petrovic would’ve probably retired as the greatest Net of them all and an NBA Hall of Famer. The 3-point marksman became a true star with the Nets, as he averaged 21.4 points per game in two full seasons. Petro even dropped buckets on MJ. In his best and final-season, 1992-93, he led the Nets with 22.3 ppg. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old Croatian star was killed in a car crash in 1993. The Nets retired Petrovic’s No. 3 jersey in tribute later the same year.
