The Nets are based in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. They are a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The team is one of two NBA franchises that play home games in New York City; the other is the Knicks, who are based in Manhattan. An original member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), the Nets were founded in 1967 and initially played in Teaneck, New Jersey, as the New Jersey Americans. The Nets won two ABA championships in New York before becoming one of four ABA teams to be admitted into the NBA (Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets and San Antonio Spur). After 35 seasons in New Jersey, the team returned to the state of New York in 2012 as the Brooklyn Nets.
