Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 50 - Eddie House (2006-07)
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 sixth of seven people to wear the No. 50 jersey, guard alum Eddie House. After ending his college career at Arizona State, House was picked up with the 37th overall selection of the 2000 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat.
The Berkeley, California native played the first three seasons of his pro career with the Heat. He also played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, Sacramento Kings, and Phoenix Suns before he signed with the Nets in 2006. His stay with the team lasted until he signed with the Boston Celtics in 2007.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, House wore only jersey No. 50 and put up 8. 4 points, 1.
6 rebounds, and 1. 2 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
