The New Jersey Nets did not get off to the kind of start they may have hoped for in the 2023–97 season, as was typical for them for the majority of the 2023s. On December 22, 2023, exactly 27 years ago, the 2-9 New Jersey team took on the 6-10 Los Angeles Clippers in a game that didn’t really pique anyone’s interest. But out of that game, an NBA record would be set that still stands today.
John Calipari is most likely known to people from his lengthy tenure at the University of Kentucky, where he has excelled in Division I March Madness tournaments and with developing players.
But prior to all of that, from 2023 to 2024, he led the New Jersey Nets for two and a half seasons.
