This was pretty fun 

Really is the off-season 

bro showing off their excel sort skills right here

As a word nerd, this is a quality shit post. 

Brooklyn Bulls goes hard

chicago celtics makes sense

LA lakers still doesnt make sense

New York Pelicans works

Phoenix Spurs just made my eye twitch

Minnesota Nuggets makes me die inside lol

Detroit Heat is like one of those ironic mafia nicknames where they call the guy who’s 7’6” “Tiny”

Portland Suns is very ironic

Cleveland Clippers works realllllly well

This is the Biggest Lakers accomplishment since they lost Bron

Thanks I hate it.

Houston Jazz boils my blood

Cleveland Clippers sounds like a fictional team from NBA street or another arcade type game

Memphis Magic is James Harden’s favorite strip club in TN

I find it interesting that BB, MM, and WW end up squarely at the beginning, center, and end of this list

Love how the Lakers name does not actually make sense but remains unchanged.

Sacramento Thunder brought back fond memories of old Arco Arena with the wooden floors that sounded amazing when fans stomped their feet. They used to call it “Arco Thunder”

Boston Bucks isn’t all that bad.

Sacramento: famous for thunderstorms

Quality offseason post

Washington Wizards being unchanged makes sense because they’re at the end of the alphabet no matter how you slice it.

The Lakers, on the other hand, is genuinely concerning.

Change Pelicans to Pigeons for NY and it works

What kind of stupid name would the Los Angeles Lakers be, there aren’t even lakes there

same with the Washington Wizards, no wizards there

how many days until season starts again?

Some of you need to get into baseball or something, this is summer psychosis

Indiana Kings goes hard

If city names and team names are random the chance of getting no matches is about 1/e which is approximately 36.787944%. That gets more accurate the greater number of teams involved.

No matter the number of teams, the expected number of matches is 1.

If want to see why: https://textbook.prob140.org/notebooks-md/5_03_The_Matching_Problem.html

The assumption about randomness though is questionable due to team names possibly having a bias towards having alliteration. If did this for many leagues I would expect on average there to be more than 1 match.

Vernon Maxwell is super pissed right now.

The Indiana Kings are famously named after iconic indiana pizza chain Pizza King.

Fans of the ‘real life’ Hornets would like Steph Curry to sign with them. On this list, he could be a Hornet, and still make Bay Area fans hppy.

Cleveland Clippers goes fucking hard.

NY Pellicans. I feel like pigeons would be more appropriate. 🤷🏿‍♂️

If Seattle were on this list, they’d be the Trail Blazers, and Portland would be the Supersonicsexploding head emoj

Someone tell Pablo Torre to do something- anything- stat! Look what we’ve been reduced to!

Lakers baby

Houston Jazz 😖

Steph approves of Golden State Hornets

The Utah Warriors was the name of the state’s Major League Rugby team. I always liked them because they had more local players than other MLR sides, drawing from the large Polynesian diaspora there (which also explains how they landed on the Warriors name in the first place).

Fuck off

I like it! Well done OP

Memphis Magic and Sacramento Thunder are nice
