Totally blanked on the Celtics but would never have thought of most of these. And I just can't keep track of the Hornets anymore, had no idea they were in New Orleans now (and that Charlotte had another team).

Thought I knew more NBA than NFL... Turns out basing your (non-american) knowledge off of the old game NBA Jam doesn't work.

I think you should take "Sixers" for 76ers since they are quite often referred to as the Sixers.

He had a 1-hour TV special to break Cleveland fans' hearts. There was a 10 story poster of him in downtown Cleveland, which the police had to tear down because there were almost riots. Forget him. Michael is much better.

Denver Nuggets? Ha ha ha. I'm not from the US and I would have to say that is the funniest name for a team... where I'm from if you call someone a nugget it's because they are short and stocky (very un-basketball player like) or it's another name for poo!

No, silly goose! They are sponsored and named by McDonald's, to advertise for their chicken nuggets. Just kidding. They're named after gold nuggets that were found in the West.

This quiz to be updated next year as the New Orleans Hornets will change their name to New Orleans Pelicans! And the Charlotte Bobcats will be named the Charlotte Hornets!

16 and I've never watched a basketball game. I thought there was a team called the Supersonics, or is that a different sport.

They used to be in Seattle but moved to Oklahoma City and changed their name.

Pelicans should probably be accepted for Hornets now. Even though it's a stupid name.

Makes sense though as the Charlotte area is known as the "hornet's nest". Now the Jazz, Lakers, and Grizzlies need to change their names.
