The 2000–01 New Jersey Nets season was the Nets' 34th season in the National Basketball Association, and 25th season in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[1] The Nets won the Draft Lottery and selected Kenyon Martin from the University of Cincinnati with the first overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft,[2] while signing free agent Aaron Williams during the offseason. Under new head coach Byron Scott, the Nets got off to a 6–4 start, but then lost nine consecutive games while losing 17 of their next 20 games. Keith Van Horn played just 49 games due to a leg injury, and Kendall Gill played just 31 games due to tendinitis in his right knee, while Kerry Kittles missed the entire season with a knee injury. The Nets lost their final six games finishing sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 26–56 record.[3]

Despite their struggles, Stephon Marbury averaged 23.9 points and 7.6 assists per game, and was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game,[4] while Martin averaged 12.0 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team.[5] Following the season, Marbury was traded along with Johnny Newman to the Phoenix Suns for their superstar Jason Kidd,[6] Gill signed with the Miami Heat, rookie guard Stephen Jackson signed with the San Antonio Spurs and Sherman Douglas retired.
