Brief introduction of all NBA teams. 、? (lead the team,)

1, Oklahoma City Thunder 1967 officially joined the NBA and was named "SuperSonics". At that time, Seattle was famous for producing Boeing aircraft. A year later, the company began to cooperate to develop a new type of aircraft, which is known as the "supersonic vehicle" of human beings. In fact, that kind of plane never flew into the sky. But Seattle became famous for it, and the SuperSonics became the name of the new basketball team. In the summer of 2008, seattle supersonics moved their home to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and named it Oklahoma Thunder. Supersonic speed has since become history. 2, Toronto Raptors In the NBA team, the Raptors are a relatively young team. In the 1990s, an American film called Jurassic Park swept the world. Because of the popularity of this film, the image of dinosaurs is accepted by many young people. When the club asked the fans to vote for the team name, the Raptors won the hearts of young fans at once. On May 1994, the club announced the name of the team as "Raptors". 3. Utah Jazz 1974, NBA headquarters approved New Orleans to build a team. This team was named "Jazz" because the jazz band in this city is world-famous, and New Orleans is also recognized as the jazz capital of the world. The team moved to Salt Lake City on 1979, but kept its original name. 4. Memphis Grizzlies officially became a member of the top 29 NBA29 in the season of 1995- 1996. The club owner decided to choose "Grizzly Bear" as the name of the team. Vancouver is the hometown of grizzly bears, with more than 20,000 wild grizzly bears in the province. 200 1, the grizzlies moved back to Memphis, USA, and changed its name to Memphis grizzlies. 5. Washington Wizards 1946, a basketball team named "Bullets" was founded in Baltimore. Later, the team disbanded and the original Chicago Park (later renamed Chicago Zephyr) moved to Baltimore. 1963, the team adopted the name "bullet". From 65438 to 0996, the club owner Pauline decided to change the name of the team with violent tendency, and finally decided to use the "wizards" symbolizing infinite energy and super power. This is also Pauline's hope for the team. I hope this is a team full of wisdom and magic. 6.Atlanta Eagle 1946, NBL League began to form basketball teams in three cities along the Mississippi River: Moline, Rock Island and Davenport. Because the Indian Black Hawk tribe is located on a rocky island, the Black Hawk campaign in 183 1 was also carried out around, and that basketball team was named after the "Three Cities Black Hawk". 1949, the club changed to NBA, 195 1 year, the team moved to Milwaukee, and the team name was simply "Eagle". 1955, the team moved to St. Louis again and finally moved to Atlanta in 1968. 7. Boston Celtics was founded in 1946. Boss walter brown founded the Boston Garden Company and named the team after himself. At that time, when naming the team, there were many candidate names: whirlwind, Olympics, unicorn and so on. But Brown picked "Celtic" at a glance, on the grounds that new york has a famous basketball team, from 19 14 to 1939, called Celtic Aboriginal Team. 8. Before the New Orleans Hornets joined the NBA, this basketball team was originally called "Charlotte Spirit". But North Carolina people have never accepted this name. 1988, the club collected team names from fans, and finally "Bumblebee" was elected. The name can be traced back to the War of Independence, when a British general named Charles Kangwa Lees wrote in a report to the British royal family at the front of the war: The war here is fierce, just like "a swarm of bees fighting in a hive". In the summer of 2004, the Hornets moved to New Orleans and changed its name to New Orleans Hornets. 9. After Chicago Bulls 1966 Bulls joined the NBA, Dick Clay, the first owner of the club, personally decided his name. Clay said: "Bulls are indomitable and fearless in times of crisis. What is more precious than this spirit on the basketball court? ! "So the bull became the name of the team, which took half a century. 10, Cleveland Cavaliers 1970 Cleveland set up a new basketball team, and Jerry Tomko's "Cavaliers" won a prize-winning activity held by the newspaper. Explaining his inspiration, he said: "Knights represent a group of brave and fearless people. No matter what their ultimate fate is, they never give in. " 1 1, the name Dallas Mavericks was also born from the naming of fans and prize-winning activities. 1980, on WBAP radio station in Dallas, after some contests, the club executive Committee finally decided to use "calf" because it best fits the image of Texas cowboys. 12, Denver Nuggets 1967 When the team was in the ABA league, it was called the Denver Rockets. In the same year, a San Diego Rockets (now Houston Rockets) was born in the NBA. Seven seasons later, the Denver Rockets joined the NBA, so the club decided to change its name. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, Colorado was rich in minerals, which attracted people from all over the world to come to gold and silver smelting. In view of this historical background, the club named the team after the "gold digger". According to records, when NBA 1949- 1950 was founded, there was also a club called Denver Nuggets, which later went bankrupt. 13, Detroit Pistons originally, this is a team located in Wentworth, belonging to NBL (American Basketball League). The owner of the club, Zener, is also the owner of a company specializing in piston production. He personally decided to name the team after our company's products, which is unique in the history of basketball team naming. The original name of the team is very long, called "Wenweinazina Pistons". 1957, the motorcade moved to Detroit, which has the reputation of American automobile capital, so the word "piston" still applies, but the place name and the name of the owner of the piston factory disappeared. 14, Golden State Warriors 1946 Philadelphia built an NBA team, and the boss named a new team after the old team. 1925, ABL Philadelphia basketball team was named "Warriors". 1962 after the team moved westward, it was renamed San Francisco Warriors, and then it was renamed Golden State Warriors again, which means that this team represents the whole of California. The team moved to Auckland on 197 1. 15, Los Angeles Lakers 1948 just joined ABA. They have been stationed in the cold Minneapolis. Understandably, the team named "Lakers" after the geographical nickname of "10000 lakes" in Minnesota. The name of the Lakers won the recognition of the local people. Under the leadership of super center Macon, the Minneapolis Lakers also won five championships. In order to continue the victory, even after the team 1960 moved to Los Angeles in the west, they decided to continue to use the old name of the Lakers. 16, new york Knicks The founder of Knicks is Ned Ethiopia, who decided to name his team after Knickerbockers. Coincidentally, the first baseball team in new york's history was called the knickerbockers. Bloomers are an extension of Dutch immigrants who took root in new york from17th century. They wear knee-length trousers, so they are called bloomers. Because the name is too long, people call it "Knicks" for short. This is the Knicks. 17, New Jersey Nets 1967 was established in new york. Only one year later, the Nets found it impossible to grab the basketball market from the Knicks, so they moved to New Jersey, just across the river from new york. It is named Nets, because Nets is an indispensable part of basketball. In addition, there are famous baseball teams Mets and American football teams Jets in new york. We want to get a net that is homophonic with them, and we also want to touch the brilliance of these two big-name teams. However, at first they asked the new york Nets to hang out in Aba. 1976 After it was merged into the NBA, the Knicks in new york already existed, so it was forced to change its name to the New Jersey Nets. In 18 and Indiana Pacers 1967, the top management of Indiana professional basketball team decided to name their team in a way different from other teams: taking the team's goal as the name of the team. They are eager for this team to become a good example of professional basketball (set a good pace) and move forward step by step, so their team is called Pacers. Another explanation is that in the Indy 500 racing car that Indiana is crazy about, the safety car is called Pacecar, and the team is named after the pedestrians, which obviously can rub the popularity of Indy 500. 20. Charlotte Bobcats Since the 2004-2005 season, the NBA has established a new team called the Bobcats in Charlotte. Bobcats are the choice of Charlotte people. Bob Johnson, the new owner of the team, wants his name to appear in the team name, while Charlotte has a tradition of naming professional teams after cats. It is worth mentioning that Houston Rockets, as NASA 2 1 and San Antonio Spurs 1973, moved to San Antonio after Chapalals was built in 1967. After public voting, people chose the "Spur" which represents Texas culture, because the Spur on riding boots is an essential tool for every cowboy.
