A couple of NBA teams should change their team name: New Jersey Nets, Utah Jazz, New York Knicks, and the Denver Nuggets.
What’s a Net anyway? The Nets… how lame is that? I heard that it was because of the New York Jets, New York Mets and they wanted something else to rhyme. So they picked the Nets. I am sorry New York area fans.. Nets, Jets and Mets.
That’s pretty bad. I would start a petition for a change. That reminds me of the lame 1990s in Utah where every new team was required to have a “zz” in it somewhere to copy the Jazz. The Jazz, the Starzz (WNBA), the Buzz (minor league baseball), the Catzz (indoor football) and probably more lame names. Who picks these stupid names anyway?
Speaking of the Jazz, that really is a lame name for Utah as well. So is the Nuggets. Gold Nuggets. Nah, I wouldn’t be too excited if that was my favorite team. And then the Knicks. Why would you name your team after weird looking pants? Oh well, whats done is done. All we can do is complain now.
However on the other end of the NBA is a few awesome names. The NBA’s top team name: The Celtics.
Atlanta Hawks
Boston Celtics
Charlotte Bobcats (For a swap with Hornets if KC)
Chicago Bulls
Cleveland Cavaliers
Dallas Mavericks
Denver Nuggets
Detroit Pistons
Golden State Warriors
Houston Rockets
Indiana Pacers
Los Angeles Clippers
Los Angeles Lakers
Memphis Grizzlies (If struggle continues, move back to Vancouver)Miami Heat
Milwaukee Bucks
Minnesota Timberwolves
New Jersey Nets
New Orleans Hornets (Move to Kansas City if attendance fails)
New York Knicks
Oklahoma City Lasers (perfect name for OKC)
Orlando Magic
Philadelphia 76ers
Phoenix Suns
Portland Trail Blazers
Sacramento Kings
San Antonio Spurs
Seattle Supersonics (A possible return to the NBA)
Toronto Raptors (GO TORONTO!!)
Utah Jazz
Washington Wizards
The only name change is if the Bobcats move to Kansas City with a swap of the Hornets, They should be called: Kansas City Dynamites. The mascot will remain the same as Rufus the Bobcat with a dynamite designed shirt.
