Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 33 – Greg Anderson (1991)

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.And for today’s article, we will continue with the 12th of 22 people to wear the No. 33 jersey, big man alum Greg Anderson. After ending his college career at Houston, Anderson was picked up with the 23rdh overall selection of the 1987 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs.The Houston, Texas native played the first two seasons of his pro career with the Spurs. He also played for the Milwaukee Bucks before he was dealt to the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets in 1991. His stay with the team lasted until he was dealt again just a week later to the Denver Nuggets.During his time suiting up for the Nets, Anderson wore only jersey No. 33 and put up 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game.All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.This article originally appeared on Nets Wire: Nets jersey history No. 33 – Greg Anderson (1991)
