Seen as the lesser team compared to the Knicks among many New Yorkers, the Brooklyn Nets have struggled at times to compete with the fanbase of their cross-borough rivals. The one thing the Nets undeniably have over the Knicks is recent success. They have been to the playoffs in more seasons than the Knicks in recent memory, and the fanbase is thriving more than ever before.
