Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 17 - Dennis Schroder (2024)
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 19th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 17, which has has had a total of seven players wear the number in the history of the team.
The seventh of those players wearing No. 17 played in the Brooklyn Nets era, guard alum Dennis Schroder. After starting his pro career abroad, Schroder was picked up with the 17th overall selection of the 2013 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks.
The Braunschweig, Germany native would also have stints with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets, Lakers again, and Toronto Raptors before he was dealt to Brooklyn in 2024. His stay with the team would span parts of two seasons before he was dealt to the Golden State Warriors shortly before the end of the year.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Schroder wore only jersey No. 17 and put up 16.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game.

Rockets Trade Package For Kevin Durant Gets Rejected: Suns Want A Premium Deal

Rockets Trade Package For Kevin Durant Gets Rejected: Suns Want A Premium Deal originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Kevin Durant trade saga is still ongoing, and the Suns appear no closer to a deal than they did when it started. While several teams have engaged the Suns on a potential trade, no offers have been enough to generate an agreement. Even the Rockets, who are reported to have a massive interest in Durant, are struggling to meet the high price for his acquisition. "Jalen Green and the 10th pick in this year's draft present a clear opportunity for the Rockets to swing a deal, but the Suns have demanded more, sources said. Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, and Reed Sheppard are among the young talents in Houston that Phoenix has expressed interest in," wrote Brett Seigel. "The Rockets have not been willing to part with any of the three to this point." Durant listed the Rockets (along with the Spurs and Heat) as one of his preferred landing spots, essentially making it a three-team race for his services. With the Spurs being described as unlikely to trade for Durant, it puts the Rockets in a favorable position, but their decision to include Jalen Green in the deal, over Jabari Smith Jr. or Tari Eason, is causing some delay. "From the Suns' perspective, they don't view Green as a positive asset in these trade talks," wrote Seigel. "The young guard struggled in the Rockets' playoff run this season, and the Suns have discussed potential paths with other teams that could help facilitate a potential Durant trade by acquiring Green for other assets that would go to Phoenix. Not much progress has been made with this." After winning just 36 games this season, the Suns know that major changes are needed if they want to achieve any lasting playoff success. Right now, Durant is the best path to improvement, and they are planning to use his expiring contract to add depth and draft capital. From their perspective, Durant is still a top-tier superstar with averages of 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game on 52.7% shooting, and if they trade him for anything less than a haul, it would be doing a massive disservice to the franchise. With Durant, the Rockets would become favorites in the West and on par with elite contenders like the Thunder, Nuggets, and Timberwolves. Alongside Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green, or Jabari Smith Jr., Durant would thrive in the frontcourt and serve as a trusted mentor to the young roster. As much as they want Durant, they have to be careful not to overpay. With only a few other teams even in the running, the Rockets don't have a lot of competing offers right now, and they will hold off on giving up their favorite young players unless they have to. At this point, it's still too early to predict how it all plays out with Durant and the Rockets, but we know that it will take a lucrative package to satisfy the Suns' demands. If Houston isn't willing to pay, then some other team will, and it could have massive implications on the NBA story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jun 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

"One of the most interesting personalities" - Robert Parish on how playing with Dennis Rodman made the Chicago dynasty feel a lot different than Boston's

"One of the most interesting personalities" - Robert Parish on how playing with Dennis Rodman made the Chicago dynasty feel a lot different than Boston's originally appeared on Basketball Network. Robert Parish witnessed two dynasties from the inside out. Advertisement He was a cornerstone of the Boston Celtics' frontcourt in the 1980s, anchoring a team that captured three NBA titles with a blend of size, precision and Hall of Fame synergy. Years later, in the twilight of his career, he laced up once more with a Chicago Bulls squad that was closing in on its second three-peat of the decade. He witnessed, from a unique vantage point, how two different dynasties operated and succeeded in their own ways. Rodman's personality In 1996, at 43 years old and fresh off a short stint in the Charlotte Hornets, Parish joined a team already soaked in champagne — the defending champion Bulls. They had the coach in Phil Jackson, had the leader in Michael Jordan and his deputy in Scottie Pippen. Advertisement However, the Dennis Rodman factor was a different kind of machine for their success. "Speaking of personalities," Parish said, "one of the most interesting personalities [was] Dennis Rodman. Definitely." Rodman was one of the most unpredictable figures in the league. He was also one of the best hustlers. He had already earned two Defensive Player of the Year awards and built a reputation as an elite rebounder with the Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs. He brought his eccentricity and unmatched motor to a Bulls locker room already brimming with competitive fire. But for Parish, who had spent years alongside Larry Bird, one of the most relentless competitors the league had ever seen, Rodman's energy was unlike anything he had encountered in Boston. His years with the Celtics were defined by heavy minutes and heavier expectations. Between 1980 and 1994, Parish started over 1,100 games, formed the most formidable frontcourt in NBA history alongside Kevin McHale and Bird and became a bedrock of Red Auerbach's blueprint. Advertisement Rodman's presence symbolized the contrast. The Celtics' success had been a cold-blooded march built on structure, repetition and execution. Practices were grueling, the offense was deliberate and the locker room, while not without tension, operated within a traditional framework of veteran hierarchy. In contrast, Chicago's dominance in the mid-90s thrived within organized chaos. Under Jackson's triangle system and his psychological approach to coaching, the Bulls were freer, looser and yet just as precise when it mattered. Related: "When you start endangering people's health, it's taking away from the beauty of the game" - Michael Jordan criticized how the Pistons and the Knicks played the game Being a veteran When Parish arrived in Chicago on Sept. 25, 1996, signing as a free agent after his release from the Hornets, he wasn't expected to log major minutes. He played in just 43 games that season and averaged 9.4 minutes per contest. But he didn't need to chase stats, he had scored over 23,000 career points and grabbed more than 14,000 rebounds by that point. Advertisement What the Bulls needed was maturity and Parish, even in limited action, became a quiet north star for younger players navigating the edges of greatness. Chicago went on to win 69 games that season, finishing with a 69–13 record before steamrolling through the playoffs. For Parish, it was ring number four, a final chapter added to a Hall of Fame story and a unique glimpse into how another dynasty handled its business. He was the oldest in the dressing room, and while Jordan was the leader, he mentored the younger players as a veteran and let Rodman be himself because he knew that was how he operated. "That's the best way to roll with Dennis, let Dennis be Dennis," Parish said. "But the other young players — Jason Kaffee, Derrick Dickey — they gravitated towards me because they want to pick my brain about what it took to be a professional." Advertisement Parish didn't come to Chicago to reinvent himself; he came to reinforce what he had always stood for: longevity, discipline, and presence. The younger players on that Bulls team looked up to him not for what he could still do on the floor but for what he had already done. His 21 years in the league were marked by a near-religious dedication to conditioning, consistency and mental toughness. He played more games than anyone in NBA history and remained injury-free through eras defined by physicality. While names like Jordan and Pippen dominated headlines, Parish operated in the background with the same quiet demeanor he'd always carried. Advertisement In Boston, he was the silent enforcer, often letting his play speak louder than any pregame quotes. In Chicago, he became something else entirely, a living link between dynasties.

ESPN analyst Jay Bilas reveals what he likes best about projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg

Cooper Flagg is on the verge of becoming the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, and the National College Player of the Year recently earned praise from ESPN analyst Jay Bilas. Flagg led Duke to the Final Four, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks on 38.5% shooting from 3-point range. He became the 22nd player in program history to be named a consensus first-team All-American. The 6-foot-8 forward established himself as the overwhelming favorite to be the No. 1 pick because of his size, athleticism and ability to affect games on both ends of the court. Bilas, speaking on the "Awful Announcing" podcast with Brandon Contes, named his favorite trait about Flagg. The one thing that stands out about Cooper Flagg, to me, above all others, and we can talk about the attributes -- physically, athletically, how he shoots it, how he handles it, how he passes it and how he defends -- but the thing I like about him best is he is not one who is interested in numbers. What he does is he makes the right play on that play and then he winds up stacking the right play over and over again and then by the end of the game, he has compiled really impressive numbers. Flagg entered the season with tremendous expectations as the consensus top recruit in the class of 2024. He was highly touted as the likely top pick in the draft and lived up to the hype after becoming the face of the sport this past season. The 18-year-old led the Blue Devils in total points (709), rebounds (277), assists (156) and blocks per game. He is highly regarded for his ability to process plays in real-time and his decision-making with the ball in his hands, while also constantly adding new skills to his arsenal. After trading away cornerstone Luka Dončić, the Dallas Mavericks hope Flagg can step in and be their long-term solution. Should Flagg indeed hear his name called first on Wednesday, the ACC Freshman of the Year will become the sixth Blue Devil to be selected as the top pick. "I think he is the best freshman Duke has ever had, and that is saying something given the freshmen that Duke has had over the last 30-40 years, maybe even beyond that," Bilas said. "He is barely 18 years old right now, and the polish and maturity he shows... People talk about will Dallas trade the pick, I just can't imagine a scenario where you trade that because he is the future for them."
