Great video!! Just a quick note, which you forgot to mention: In 2014 (when the New Orleans team was renamed the Pelicans, and the Bobcats were renamed the Charlotte Hornets), the revived Hornets franchise acquired the official history and records of the original Hornets (spanning from 1988 to 2002).
@flibbidyx2
3 жыл бұрын
The Hornets-Pelicans connection is a little convoluted and involves one more thing you left out. When the New Orleans franchise changed their name to the Pelicans, they actually made a deal with the Charlotte franchise (with the NBA's blessing) to not only allow them to become the Charlotte Hornets, but to reclaim the history of the original 1988-2002 Charlotte Hornets. As such, the current Charlotte Hornets franchise is now considered an extension of the original Charlotte Hornets franchise founded in 1988. The Pelicans, meanwhile, only lay claim to the New Orleans (and OKC)-era history, going back to 2002.

That's interesting. In the NFL nobody really thinks about that with the Cleveland Browns/ Baltimore Ravens. Everytime people bring up the history of the Browns these days, they'll bring up the past era of the team up until 1995, which technically would just be the history of the Ravens. Anything these Browns do now should just be traced to their return in 1999
@flibbidyx2

@@christophersuswal9544 The only thing is - when the Ravens went to Baltimore, they made an agreement to leave the Browns' history behind. While they took the players and management with them, as far as official NFL records are concerned, they were an expansion team. When the new Browns team came along a few years later, they were given the rights to claim all the history of the previous Browns team.

A couple of things. 1. The NBL was originally an industrial league that consisted of factory teams mostly (In fact the Akron Wingfoots, Goodyear's factory team won the first title and they sponsored the Cavs since). It organically grew over the years with other local teams through the Great lakes/midwest area joining. The Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons were a factory team of the Zollner Piston company. During this period in the 40s there was also a world tournament that functioned a bit like the FA Cup in Football as well. 2. The Indianapolis Olympians are interesting case because they essentially shut down due to game fixing scandal at the college level that most of the players had been caught up in. 3. The Celtics/Clippers swap happened essentially because the owner Irv Levin wanted to move Boston closer to his home in SD, but NBA said absolutely not. So the swap was arranged with John Y Brown, the former owner of Kentucky's ABA team, who had picked up the Braves/Clippers as he found they were cheaper to buy than to move Kentucky (One of the most stable and successful franchises) into the NBA. With the Braves being less 10 years old and didn't have the 13 titles the Celtics did so the NBA didn't care what happened.

As a sports history buff, the NBA's erasure of the NBL annoys me. It was first, it was integrated, it had some of the game's biggest stars of the time, its teams proved competitive with BAA teams (as seen in the World Professional Basketball Tournament played annually throughout the 1940s, and in the first few seasons of the merged NBA), and some of the NBA's staple teams come from there (Lakers, Pistons, 76ers, Hawks, Kings), and a significant portion of their history is just ignored in most official materials.

There's tons of rumors floating around that the NBA is planning to expand to 32 teams, most likely adding teams to Seattle and Las Vegas (just like the NHL recently did). It probably won't happen until the 2024-2025 season at the earliest though. Also, I don't think adding teams to Mexico and Europe would work both for logistical reasons and because I don't think they'd have a big enough fan base in either place, especially compared to how huge soccer is. However, I think the Raptors have proven that Canada is more than able to support an NBA team, and I'd love to see either expansion or relocated teams in Vancouver and Montreal.

And they hardly ever slaughter bulls. How about the Chicago cattle? Or cattle beasts, as some farmers call them? Of course, a team with that name might get slaughtered.

@@canadaclaret Cattle would have not been an aggresive enough name. Packers was taken by Green Bay - and they're close enough they might have got upset about the name getting recycled. And yes, stockyards DO in fact slaughter bulls - it's COWS that don't get slaughtered much due to their MILK - you have that entirely BACKWARDS.

The NBA moving into Europe wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. The logistics of teams moving back and forth across the ocean for an entire season would be a fucking nightmare

So in 1963 Philadelphia went seamlessly from having the Warriors to having the 76ers. Must be strange to still have a team, but suddenly a completely different one.

Mexico City May become a reality but I doubt it will be any time soon. Seattle, Las Vegas, maybe Louisville and another Canadian city would likely get more following first.

In order I think it would be: Seattle, Las Vegas (which should have one since a long time imo), Kansas City, Montreal, Tampa Bay, San Diego (but I doubt it since they can't keep a franchise lol) but Louisville is a good one knowing how popular Bball is in HS and college, they already got the culture (same argument for Kansas City). After that the NBA would have 36 teams like the NFL

@@paquinraino8180 personally I think that the Los Angeles Clippers should rebrand themselves when they get their new standium as the SoCal Clippers - reincorporating San Diego fans. From an expansion point of view I see the league expanding to 32 teams at some point - which would make getting/not getting into the playoffs a nice 50/50 split. But I don’t see them expanding beyond that or at least not for quite some time. Really they missed the opportunity when the new tv deals came in, adding two new teams at that time would have meant a more smoother salary cap adjustment.

@7:21 youre mistaken mate, the wizards didnt change their name because of the gun violence in the city, they changed it because Abe Pollin, the owner, was a close friend of Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli Prime minister who was murdered in 1995. Quote of Abe Pollin: "My friend was shot in the back by bullets, the name ‘Bullets’ is no longer appropriate for a sports team.”

Next two NBA teams: 1. Las Vegas Ramblers 2. Kentucky Colonels (they should’ve been in the NBA during the ABA merger! One of the best ABA teams) Next two teams: 3. Seattle SuperSonics 4. Nashville Stars (lots of money flowing to this city)

The Kentucky Colonels were excluded because they played their home games in different cities in Kentucky, yes a majority were in Louisville but some in their latter seasons were moved to other cities such as Lexington. This was the NBA's excuse to exclude them, along with the Virginia Squires for the same reason.

We need the Mexico Wrestlers and the Seattle Supersonics. Make it 32 teams and 64 games, one home and one away against each team. Allow a second division with playouts for the bottom teams and playoffs for the top teams. There you wont be seeing any tanking anymore.
