All 30 NBA Team Name Origins Explained

Washington should go back to being the BULLETS GOT DAMMIT!

Utah needs to drop the Jazz already and give it back to New Orleans

Why y’all goofy’s what to name ur city dragons💀💀💀💀💀🤦‍♂️

Somebody please change their name to Express . Apparently someone wants to see that name on an NBA jersey bad 😂😂😂

OKC 🔥🔥

Major downer that because DC is a violent shithole they had to change a classic team name.

St. Louis should have another NBA team and another NFL team I’m from St. Louis

Seattle supersonics

I wish Boston Unicorns were their name

imagine a game between Phoenix dudes vs Boston sea dogs

always thought Lakers was a reference to the ocean

Big plane

You could have mentioned the Charlotte franchise that began in 2004, The Bobcats, was named to connect with The NFL's Carolina Panthers, who also play in Charlotte. Another reason it was chosen was to honor the team's owner, Robert Johnson. Before he was involved, a front-runner for the new team's names was The Carolina Cougars, again because of the NFL team.

Utah Jazz should change their name as Utah has nothing to do with Jazz Music 🎼 😂

Dallas Cha-par-els?... I think it's the Shap-a-rels.

Yo krazyloko can you do all the nfl teams that went extinct

Raptors

Is it me or the “Minnesota Gunflints” sound awesome lol

always been curious why it's called the 76ers which is one of the weirder names outta all teams, now i know...

one day we'll get those dragons!

I remember playing NBA 2K11 and they were talking about a new name for the Charlotte Bobcats and Kevin Harlan said it should be "Charlotte Flight" and tbh it would make sense considering the team is owned by Michael Jordan

It would be hell in the streets if boston was named the unicorns.imagine the jokes/insults.
Mine: only faries like unicorns.(fist fight insues)

I'd call the swamp dragon fans swamp asses

Pheonix dudes vs.orlando juice needs no jokes whatsoever it's already built in

good job

Uh no help

"Miami Beaches" what a great idea, lol

You forgot toronto raptors

History

I mean, the Thunder's City and Name actually makes sense....

So many teams wanted to be the express cuz it is terrible

Also the thunderbirds would be a better name

Forgot to mention chicago packers failure

Utah cougers would be cool

Toronto Bobcats would of been nice lool

Hawks and falcons because there’s a lot in Georgia

Memphis grizzlies?

im trying to know my nba teams this helps thanks

That “Express” naming proposal just wont go away. Such a stupid name 😂

Miami sharks not bad we would of had dolphins marlins and sharks

Philippine Sports Stadium
Mall Of Asia Arena
Smart Araneta Colliseum

New Orleans Crew and Minnesota Blizzard are superior names.

Kingsb👑

People in Nevada are separated between who they root for. Vegas roots for The Lakers, while Reno roots for The Warriors, and very few of Nevada fans are Jazz fans.

This map needs a serious update.

I hope in a few years, you'll need to do an update to this video and add the Seattle Sonics/Supersonics!

Okc twisters would go hard

Wrong. Celtics owner chose Celtics for a reason. It was because of the large Irish population in boston

Express never came to life lol

Akhil’s contention that the conservatives on the court made a mistake and may reverse itself upon future review is absurd. They are (mostly) brilliant jurisits. The decision was carefully and cleverly tailored to assist Donald Trump’s re-election and expand his powers in the next presidency. Pretending that this was a sincere mistake and that we (or level-headed conservatives) can appeal to their better angels is extremely counterproductive in the face of a crises.
