Jersey Retirement

As mentioned earlier, the Nets retired Petrovic’s number on November 11, 1993. This is one of the biggest accomplishments for any NBA player. Below winning a championship, MVP, or making the Hall of Fame, this is probably one of the best achievements. This means that the time a player put in with their team was so great that no other player should wear your number again.

Every time someone goes into the Barclays Center and looks up at the rafters, his number 3 is hanging beside players like Julius Erving, Jason Kidd, and Buck Williams. That is some great company for someone who did not have the opportunity to put in a full body of work.
