When the Nets made the announcement that they would be making the move from New Jersey to Brooklyn, there was an unprecedented buzz around the country. Brooklyn was becoming the hottest borough in the city, and the addition of the Brooklyn Nets only added fuel to this fire.
With Jay-Z a part of ownership, along with a brand new Barclays Center; the result was electric. The buzz around the Nets organization gave life to a brand new team and arena. This energy ran through the Nets home games, giving the Barclays Center a special feel.
This feeling led to three consecutive playoff runs, including an Eastern Conference semifinals appearance where the Nets fell short to the Miami Heat after upsetting the Toronto Raptors on the road in a first-round Game 7.
