谁能想到,新泽西网队历史上第一次进军季后赛的机会,竟然被一场可笑的马戏表演破坏了——1967年,当时还名为“美洲人”的新泽西球队在常规赛结束时取得了36胜42负的成绩,与肯塔基上校队同列东区第四,两队将加赛争夺最后一个季后赛席位。美洲人队将在主场举办季后附加赛,然而,他们的主场“提奈克兵工厂”早已预定出去作为马戏团表演的场馆。因此老板阿瑟·布朗不得不匆忙寻找一块临时场地,他最终决定将比赛安排在位于长岛的康马克球馆举行。然而,当球队抵达比赛场馆后,发觉等待他们的是年久失修的木地板、脱扣的螺栓以及晃晃荡荡的篮架。肯塔基上校队拒绝在如此糟糕的场地比赛,而ABA总裁乔治·麦肯则当即裁定比赛取消,上校队晋级。于是,新泽西人就此止步季后赛,甚至连一次季后赛开场跳球都没享受过。
