When the Mavericks tried to make a playoff push around the trading deadline in 2008, they eyed Jason Kidd from the New Jersey Nets. However, the future Hall of Famer would come at a price, and that price was the young and talented Devin Harris. It looks like the Nets got the much better end of the deal.
In his Nets home game debut, he scored 21 points and dished out five assists in just 21 minutes of play. He would have plenty of other great games during the season, despite the Nets missing the playoffs for the first time in seven years.
The following season saw Harris picked up right where he left off. A few of his highlights that season included scoring 47 points against the Phoenix Suns, and scoring 41 points as well as dishing out 13 assists against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks.
The emergence of the youngster started giving him plenty of attention around the league. He was rewarded with a roster spot on the Eastern Conference All-Star team. He had a great weekend, showing off his vast array of skills to a national audience against the best players.
There would be no second-half slump for the point guard either. Harris continued to dominate, despite the team not having enough firepower to do much in the standings.
One of the highlights of the season came in late February when Devin Harris made the shot now referred to as the “Miracle in the Swamp.” The shot was from 47 feet away as time expired to beat the 76ers, 98-96.
As the 2009-2010 season gets ready to kick off, those looking for New Jersey Nets tickets should make sure to keep their eyes on the young point guard out of Wisconsin. He is now the sole leader of the up and coming team that will be looking for a spot in the Eastern conference playoffs.
While Harris and the rest of the Nets are young, if you want to buy New Jersey Nets tickets you better do it this season. It is still up in the air when they will move to Brooklyn, but it could be very soon.
If NJ Nets tickets aren’t your thing, there are plenty of sports tickets to be found at FanRates.
