Lakers are from Minneapolis
"Land of 1000 Lakes"
When they moved here the owner liked the way Los Angeles Lakers sounded so he kept it

Clippers are from SAN DIEGO.
A clipper has something to do with boats which are a plenty in SD.

lol Utah Jazz is wack. They don't listen to jazz in Utah

Jazz are originally from NEW ORLEANS. they are known for jazz down there.
New Orleans Jazz sounds so much better and makes a load of sense. Utah Hornets would work for me. Do it Stern

yeah. only thing I like about OKC is the jerseys. Seattle's jerseys were cool too because they were so unique. The Oregon Ducks of the NBA, but made it look good.
