According to wikipedia, Orlando were down to 4 names, Heat, Tropics, Juice, Magic.

Orlando Juice LMAO.
I guess Magic just sounded the best.
Lmao! Juice is horrible. Tropics is more deserved for Miami and would be too much of a coincidence with the Will Farrell movie. Heat I guess was more of a fit for us too, so your right, Magic does fit best.

Well the Lakers used to be in Minnesota, I could get that from the Great Lakes.

Clippers, I have no idea actually. Same goes for Wizards and Raptors but I'm guessing all those were fan votes as well...
Ah true. And yea I think so.

Well the wizards were the Bullets, but had to change cause that was "too bad or violent."

Well the Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors, LA Clippers and Lakers all seem kinda weird to me.

Yea, I knew the Jazz one, but still kinda weird cause they are in Utah now.
Raptors were picked by fans, out of these names:
Beavers, Bobcats, Dragons, Grizzlies, Hogs, Raptors, Scorpions, T-Rex, Tarantulas, and Terriers.

LA Lakers were originally from Minnesota, which has the most Lakes in the country. They just kept the name.

As for Wizards I can't find anything. I think they just figured Bullets was too innapropriate. LMAO.
And the Clippers, I have no idea. WTF is a Clipper? lol

I'm still waiting for a Dragons team, that is one of the most kick A nicknames.

I always liked how Detroit Dragons sounded.

Lol would you be scared to play a team called the Toronto Terriers? LMAO

And DJT, I think Pistons is going to stick with Detroit till the NBA ends lol. It's just soo classic.

Dragons...hmm. Dallas Dragons? Better than a Maverick?

Damn long list of choices. Beaver is horrible, Bobcat I guess no one liked as a fit for the city, Dragons sounds too mid-evil, Grizzlies would've fit but wasn't Vancouver still around then? The Hog, LMAO! Scorpions, T-Rex, Tarantulas, and Terriers are also laughable. I guess they made the right choice there.

I would love to know the mean of a Clipper. I know they used to be the Buffalo Braves and then the San Diego Clippers before moving to LA.

I don't like the ring of Dragons. Sounds like you have a bunch of Rasheed's and Artest's on your team, I'd rather pass.

A local Middle School's nickname is the Clippers. At half-court they have a little irish man with his bag pipes and stuff, with his skirt on. So maybe that's what it is?

Yea I think Pistons will stay to. But I still love the Dragons name. I think Dallas should change, but its too historic to. We have too many horses, Pistons and Mavs. Thats 2 too many. Even though I think the Pistons got rid of the horse logo thing.

I thought a Clipper was like a boat...clipping the waves or something like that.

Meh they only got the horse from horsepower, seeing as we were named after the piston on a car. Kinda lame lol.

Yea. A car part, honestly.

And a Clipper is a boat, I just checked. It was like an old school boat, like the Mayflower kind of style.

Well it's still one of the coolest nicknames in sports IMO. Along with the Red Wings, also a car term lol.

According to dictionary.com a Clipper can be a cutting a tool, a person who cuts, a swift boat (like DJT said), or a person that moves swiftly.

I don't know where that Irish crap comes from, lol.
That is lame as hell, WTF would they name them that then? Probably some random ass name lmao.

Ah true.


Ugliest jersey ever = Heat's "Floridians" jersey
For NBA probably. I hate the Celtics jerseys, Utahs new ones (the dark and light blue cloroed ones) are ugly as well, they should of kep those black bronze and purple ones.
