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

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.
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.
I love this man
2:35 I hadn’t realized that Philadelphia was in western Massachusetts. Thanks.
Quite a few teams were close to being named the Dragons. Maybe the new expansion team will finally adopt that name.

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.
I actually like the Miami beaches as a name and the Orlando juice. The juices sounds cool.
I love these videos
Shout out to Fort Wayne Indiana!!!
The video left this out but “Trailblazers” is in reference to the pioneers that traveled (blazed) the Oregon Trail.

I notice that when talking about the Charlotte Hornets you didn’t really give the reason for why the name is what it is. The name isn’t as much as a novelty as some of the teams. It has large historical reasons similar to how the Pistons, Knicks or 76ers do. The name is historically tied to the region and the city via the British Generals Cornwallis and Tarleton during the American Revolution. The Generals both described Charlotte and the surrounding counties in NC as hot spots of rebellion. The tradition upheld in Charlotte is that Cornwallis called the city a “Hornets Nest” of rebellion. The police badge of the city is in the shape of a hornet nest and the county the city is in has a hornets nest on its court seal. Native and non-native charlotteans seem to be unaware to this history that runs deep but I think the Hornets are a real symbol for the people native to the city of Charlotte and gave another reason to dislike the moving of the team. Just thought I would share. Thanks.

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.
@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.

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.
You didn’t explain the meaning of the name Charlotte Hornets. It comes from General Cornwallis during the revolutionary war, where he described the North Carolina militia as a swarm of hornets.

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.
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

I still can’t get over the fact that the Will Ferrell movie “Semi-Pro” is based off actual events in sports history.
