Jesus loves you and may God bless you
Do next how did NFL teams get their names ?
3:34 tuff layup🥶
Fr😂
Nah hol up that bitch was hella tuff 😂😂
That plumbers touch
@@IIIJDubsIIInahh 💀💀
@@IIIJDubsIII💀
Just imagine or in an alternate reality:
Miami Sun Tans vs Phoenix Sun Lovers 😂😅😆
July 8th 2010 the decision
"this summer i am gonna take my talents to the the sun tans!!!!"
Huh
@@UncleAaron685casual
Yeah absolute low budget movie material 😂😂😂
It would be a good name for a team in Flint Michigan
One of the best and underrated nba/sports channel ever ngl
jimmy too
The sun tans would be a weird name, the knickerbockers, oof you gotta say that right😂
Miami Beaches? Imagine Jimmy Butler saying, “I’d like to retire as a beach…”
“I’d like to retire as a sun tan”
Or “I love playing with all these Beaches”. 😂
What I've learned from this video is that hockey is basketballs father
Not basketball in general but NBA itself.
Rugby is basketball’s dad, basketball was created by a rugby coach to give his players something to do in the winter
Yeah but we all know the better sport🤷♂️
@DarrelWatkins77 thankfully people can like both. First round of NHL's playoffs ALWAYS > NBA first round. The rest is a toss-up
imagine the Miami heat being called the Miami SUN TANS😂💀
Sun Tans but close enough
@@ross.2003it was a joke mate
Sun Tan Culture 😂
@@mrcat3598fucking shit joke.
Not funny😐
I never even questioned what "knicks" means I just always accepted it 😂😂😂
3:40 Ahh yes the good old western Nebraska city of Kansas City and the eastern Colorado city of Nebraska. Love those cities.
2:35 Just letting you know Philadelphia isn't in Massachusetts...
3:41 Thai isn’t where KC or Omaha are located at all.
😂
2:35 And that’s definitely not where Philadelphia is located at all either
The Blazers logo over washington states make me die a little inside. RIP Sonics, screw David Stern
3:52 Omaha isn't in Colorado
Was wondering if someone else noticed.
Your timing is a bit off for your point. At 3:41 we see how this map is *entirely* off. In fact, the point for Omaha, NEBRASKA should be just ever so barely West of the MO River that borders the state with Iowa to its east. And the point of Kansas City should be almost *right* on the border between Kansas and Missouri
general area my bad @@samanthabradley860
@@samanthabradley860all you had to say is that it's in eastern nebraska
He also showed Philadelphia as being in Massachusetts lmao
That lay up at the 3:30-3:35 time marker was insane ngl
black hawks would be crazy in today's league
I mean...... Chicago Blackhawks exist so..mmmmm
Then they could name a team the white Caucs 😂🤷🏻♂️
You guys should do this with every sport. It was really interesting!
Imagine if we had teams named the Boston Unicorns, Milwaukee Skunks, and the Cleveland Presidents playing in the same league 😂
And Miami Sun Tans lmao
I would wear a Skunks t-shirt 😂
Rainbow-colored Unicorns would be pretty … well, colorful …
@@kierenmoore3236Imagine the different alternates for the jerseys, there probably would’ve been 5 of them.
I can’t believe they were thinking of the name skunks for Milwaukees team😂
It would make sense for every season that they stunk😂😂😂
@hurricanewayne7463 what team you a fan of btw lol
@@Love2Musgrave tbh, I'm a fan of any team that plays fundamental basketball. But if I had to throw some teams out there. Before now the bulls, knicks, lakers, trailblazers, spurs, and pistons. Now the bucks, nuggets, & I'm leaning towards throwing the mavs in there. I'd watch more games if they allowed these guys to play defense
Bro doesn't know where Kansas City and Omaha is 😐
The league really missed out on the Cleveland Foresters, Miami Suntans, Milwaukee Skunks, Minnesota Blizzard, Orlando Aquamen AND Vancouver Mounties 😔
Minnesota Blizzard and Orlando Aquamen actually would’ve sounded pretty neat. Imagine the Aquaman mascot and how that would’ve gone
That map infographic... 😂😂😂😂😂
Not talking about how the New Jersey Nets almost became the Swamp Dragons is a travesty
2:35 that’s not where Philadelphia is 😂
Or where Kansas City and Omaha are (3:40)
Hey there long time sports fan recent nba fan thanks for helping me get into it faster
Error 3:00 mark
The lakers did not start in Minnesota but in Detroit as The Gems. Gems were brought by Mr Berger. To not to have start a new roster from zero
Good call. Also kinda wanna shout out that Minneapolis is the City of Lakes fwiw
WOW, now that 0:32 - 0:52 is fascinating! I never knew that was where the genesis of the NBA thought process came from!
I love this man
12:24: The team that introduced me to sports and has been my favorite sports team ever since.
Weird to think that if Minnesota had stuck with the name "Blizzard", the Raptors could have revived the Huskies name from the '40s. Instead of Jurassic Park, we'd have the Dog Park.
OMG NONSTOP POSTED TWO DAYS IN ARROWWW I LUV HIMMMM
Quite a few teams were close to being named the Dragons. Maybe the new expansion team will finally adopt that name.
Las Vegas Dragons
Great idea for a video
This video is amazing
This is pretty cool.
I love these videos
OKC Renegades would be cool
Nonstooooop!❤
The Royals map was sad to look at. Kansas City is in Missouri not Kansas and Omaha is in Nebraska, not Colorado.
There's a Kansas City on both sides of the border, but the Royals and Chiefs do play on the Missouri side for now which he got wrong by saying "Kansas"already had a Royals team
Great video
Utah should return the name Jazz back to New Orleans, tbh…
Agreed. But then what would Utah call themselves? The Mormons? The Dry State? The Place Where Other Teams Hate to Play Because It's Got No Strip Clubs?
As a Jazz fan who grew up in Utah, hell no. We keep that name as a source of pride. We were able to make a team named The Jazz work when New Orleans couldn't
If Las Vegas ever gets an NBA team, I'd personally name them the Las Vegas Gamblers or Highrollers
Highrollers would actually be a sweet name
@@ChewyChicken589 yeah it would be. My brother suggested it
The Las Vegas Broke
@@Cantblendthis 😂😂😂
Las Vegas Sin or Las Vegas 🎲
New York Knicker what now?!
Nonstop are the kings on transitions mam
Skunks was HARD
I still can’t get over the fact that the Will Ferrell movie “Semi-Pro” is based off actual events in sports history.
Bro doesn't know his geography
As a Celtics fan, I would immediately not be a Celtics fan if we were called the Unicorns 😭
Do a video on the 2006 chargers plz!!!
Request that on Blitz, that’s their new football channel
W vid 🔥
So what I learned from this video is never trust fans with anything important.
Adrian Dantley didn’t win an mvp (10:36)
I thought the same as well
He did win a scoring title
the Wizards need to change their moniker back to Bullets(or Monuments)😓
Shout out to Fort Wayne Indiana!!!
Rochester stand up we got the kings only ring still 😂
Some of the team names would have been crayyyy..😂😂.
S/o to the ownership for stepping up when needed lol
Your locations of Kansas City and Omaha for the Royals is sooo hilariously not close to where those cities are 🤣
Well made video
I love the colorized photos in the video
Hey Nonstop, doesn't that NBL trophy at 4:18 look suspiciously like the modern MVP trophy? 😮😅
Kept me interested in the 70s nba
NBA was originally binational as one of the original teams was the Toronto Huskies, and they hosted the first NBA game in Toronto verses NY. It's kind of erased from history that the first NBA game was in Canada
You might have mentioned that Toronto were an original team by the name of the Huskies, and that they played the Knicks in Toronto in what is considered the first game in NBA history.
Skunk, sun tans, sun lover.
Who suggest these names.
😂😂😂
Hawks fan here with something to add: Despite originally named after the local Indian hero, when moving to Atlanta, we do not need to change our names as Atlanta is one of the aviation centers and a hawk happens to symbolize a plane, both being high up in the sky.
great vid my quetion has been answered
I know I only a few seconds in the video but I would like to point out that Toronto has been a part of the nba longer then most teams. That really blows my mind.
Important vídeo
A world where the Phoenix Cactus Giants and Charles Barkley lost to the Bulls in the finals is a world I want to live in.
I actually like the Miami beaches as a name and the Orlando juice. The juices sounds cool.
3:40 So Kansas City is west Kansas and Omaha is in Colorado? As I sit in KC Missouri.
S.O.S... Save Our Sonics...
Dude! Think about OKC! They started as the Seattle Super sonics!😂
lol!! You must be young. That wasn’t that long ago. Kevin Durant played for the Sonics. The Sonics were a staple of the league. I have no ties to that part of the country, but I hope at some point they expand to Seattle and they can get the SuperSonics name back
The Bobcats should have called themselves the Bad Kitties
The draft kings sponsor is crazy bc I filled a bracket to have Alabama win the national championship and so far so good
3:41 that is not where Kansas City or Omaha is🙃
2:34 That is NOT Philadelphia
I just want you to know that when you got to the part of relocating the GSW to California, you kinda showed a picture of Massachusetts instead of Pennsylvania.
San Antonio Aztecs has a nice ring to it
Phoenix sun lover 😂
the georgraphy of these maps is atrocious my god
Do a vid on cooper flagg
@14:58 neglects to mention that the hornets nest is a symbol in the Charlotte area, supposedly dating back to the 1780s when the locals fought with the British army.
That wizards logo was creative. Most of 2000's logo were cool.
Not mentioned is how the Pelicans were almost called the Krewe. It is the local term for event organizers of parades and carnivals in New Orleans especially for Mardi Gras, and I WILL FOREVER HATE HOW THEY DISREGARDED THIS AMAZING AND LOCALLY SPECIFIC NAME FOR A FREAKING AQUATIC BIRD.
I like the team colors of charllote bobcats, I always remake the team in 2k as an expansion team
Better than the Pelicans
Did you know that from 1949 to 1954 the Minneapolis Lakers were NBA champions every year except 1951?
And yeah I've been a Minnesota Timberewolves for years, but I'm actually Australian.
Why did I say all this?
Idk maybe coz of this video
Jets, Mets, Nets. Never realized that
As a bears fan seeing the chicago packers hurts a lot
Here before this goes viral :)
cleveland towers would have aged well
Don't Watch The NBA Anymore But Nice 👍🏻❤
Jesus, that map at 3:40 is so bad. That's not where kansas City and omaha are located.
2:35 wrong map? The highlighted state is Massachusetts, but not Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? Maybe fix this map?
Skunks😂
Boston unicorns woulda been pretty accurate
The Miami Floridians was actually an ABA team from 1968 to 1972. The Heat have actually worn their jerseys before. Their colors were pink, orange, and black. I don’t think they were very good and they were largely forgotten. They played at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Interesting that it was reconsidered for the 1988 team, it’s definitely a cool name imo. We are proud Floridians. Glad they stuck with the Heat though, so much better and fitting to how hot it gets here. The Sun Tans are terrible. An interesting alternate name for them could be the Miami Money lol, imagine that. Makes sense now with how many millionaires and some billionaires that live in Miami. And how expensive everything is here, I live here so I know lol.
I don't have an NBA team and I'm from South Carolina
Ngl Miami Sharks sounds nice.
