Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 21 - Tim Bassett (1975-80)
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. The 22nd of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 21, which has has had a total of 26 players wear the number in the history of the team. The fifth of those players wearing No. 21 played in the (then) New York and New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets eras, forward alum Tim Bassett. After ending his college career at Georgia, Bassett was picked up with the 106th overall selection (there were many more rounds in that era of the draft) of the 1973 NBA Draft by the (then) Buffalo Braves (now, Boston Celtics - it's a long story). The Washington, District of Columbia native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the (defunct) San Diego Conquistadors instead, electing to play in the ABA instead. He would be dealt to New York in 1975, his stay with the team spanning parts of five seasons that ended when he was cut in 1980. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Bassett wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 5.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Film Icons' Rarely-Seen Twins Step Into the Spotlight for Stunning Public Appearance With Mom & Dad
Paris Fashion Week's haute couture spotlight brightened as legendary actors Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance made a rare and stylish appearance with their 19‑year‑old twins. The teens, Slater and Bronwyn Vance, attended the Stéphane Rolland Fall/Winter 2025–2026 show in the European city on Tuesday, July 8, alongside their famous parents. The longtime couple, who tied the knot in Oct. 1997, and their children delighted onlookers-not just for their iconic status, but for their impeccable family coordination during the joint outing. For the fashionable function, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star, 66, chose a sleeveless, flowy chocolate-colored dress, perfectly complimenting her bronzy skin tone. She accessorized the look with a thick cuff bangle and platform pumps, perfectly balancing summery elegance with Parisian poise. Bassett's beauty look was kept simple, as she wore her dark brown tresses down, middle-parted in loose curls. The Preacher's Wife star, 65, for his part, matched his wife with subtle accents, donning a warm weather staple: a crisp linen suit worn over a classic white button-up. A fedora, featuring a brown detailing, sat atop his head, while he finished the look off with shiny brown oxfords. Bronwyn and Slater echoed their parents' warm tones, the former choosing a rust-colored floor-length gown with draping in the front, and the latter going with a chic white top paired with black slacks, a stylish topper and oversized ombré sunglasses. Together, they created a polished and harmonious familial unit, stepping into the spotlight alongside their legendary mom and dad. Among other luminaries in attendance, Cardi B was seen front row beside Bassett, with the two even being captured chatting during the event and snapping photos together. The hip-hop hitmaker went avant-garde for the appearance, rocking an over-the-top black-and-white hooded number that instantly turned heads.
