New York Jewels The 1933–34 Brooklyn Jewels season was the third professional basketball season played by the Brooklyn Jewels franchise, as well as their first season played in the revived version of the original American Basketball League and their final full season played in Brooklyn before they essentially represented the state of New York as a whole. After completing their first two seasons as one of the best teams in the Metropolitan Basketball League, the Jewels would end up being one of five former Metropolitan Basketball League teams to leave that league for a revived version of the original American Basketball teams. While most of the rules in the revived ABL would remain the same as what the original ABL held in its history (including utilizing the old split season formatting that was held throughout most of the ABL's existence in the first place), one key difference would see games be played under three 15 minute periods instead of two 20 minute halves in an attempt to provide better results for the games played in this iteration of the ABL. With all of this in mind, the Jewels would end up getting a tied first place record with the Trenton Moose (a former (revived) Eastern Basketball League team) in the first half of the season with a 22–6 record, though they would end the second half of the season with an average 4–4 record for a third place finish behind only the recently rebranded New Britain Palaces and the undefeated Philadelphia Sphas / Hebrews for that particular half of the season. In a manner similar to their final season in the MBL, the Jewels and the Moose would compete in a tiebreaker series, though this one would not only be a best-of-three series instead of a winner-takes-all match, but it would also occur during the second half of the season instead of by the end of the regular season due to the unique looking situation at hand. Unfortunately for the Jewels, similar to their previous tiebreaker series back in the MBL, this tiebreaker series in the ABL would see the Jewels get swept by the Trenton Moose. Not only that, but because the Jewels ended up failing to win either the first half or the second half of the season, they would fail to qualify for the championship series in the ABL's first season of returning existence. Roster Due to information on American Basketball League players being generally hard to find, there are bound to be more gaps and/or inaccuracies found in certain areas on the team's roster spots than usual.1933-34 Brooklyn Jewels (ABL) en peachbasketsociety.blogspot.com Mike Wilk 2026-10-03 https://peachbasketsociety.blogspot.com/2018/01/1933-34-brooklyn-jewels-abl.html1933 Brooklyn Jewels basketball Statistics en StatsCrew 2026-10-03 2026-10-03 https://www.statscrew.com/basketball/roster/t-ABLBRJ/y-1933 1933–34 Brooklyn Jewels #4169E1 #FFFFFF #C40233 #FFFFFF Matty Begovich 1 F/C 6 5 205 St. John's 1910-10-02 Rip Gerson 1 F 5 10 165 St. John's 1906-04-06 Mac Kinsbrunner 1 G/F 5 9 155 St. John's 1909-03-21 Hank Knudsen 1 C 6 5 180 No college 1905-09-16 Nat Lazar 1 G/F 5 9 155 St. John's 1906-01-28 John McGuinness basketball 1 G/F 5 11 St. John's 1911-09-10 Jake Poliskin 1 G/F 6 2 175 St. John's 1912-02-09 Mac Posnack 1 G 5 11 195 St. John's 1909-06-23 Allie Schuckman 1 G/F 5 8 155 St. John's 1907-11-25 George Slott 1 G/F 5 11 185 St. John's 1912-06-09 Harry Walters basketball 1 G 6 0 195 Cornell 1911-04-06 Eddie Wilde It's currently unknown who was officially on the roster for the team's first half tiebreaker series matchup against the Trenton Moose during the regular season.

However, the second half of the season wouldn't have a tiebreaker occur due to the Philadelphia Sphas / Hebrews going undefeated for that half of the season, meaning that half of the season wouldn't need a tiebreaker by default. American Basketball League First Half Tiebreaker Series Interestingly, the tiebreaker series of the first half of the season would happen during the second half of the regular season. +ABL First Half Tiebreaker SeriesBradley Grasso Robert John Total Basketball: The Ultimate Basketball Encyclopedia 2003 SPORT Media Publishing, Inc. 1-894963-01-6, p. 414GameDateOpponentScoreRecordGame 1March 6@ Trenton Moose23–440–1Game 2March 9Trenton Moose14–210–2 Due to Trenton winning the first half of the season, they would automatically qualify for the championship series that the ABL was hosting this time around. As for the Jewels, they would fail to qualify for the championship series following this series' conclusion since the Moose and Philadelphia Sphas / Hebrews would end up winning the two respective halves of this season by its conclusion in early April.
