Column: What's in a name?
The NBA is my favorite masterful sports league. It's my opinion that NBA players are the best athletes in the era and I can't think of a reason why watching them isn't exciting. I realize that a lot of fans embrace the NFL or MLB as opposed to the NBA, and there are things wrong with a league that is all about superstars, large markets, lockouts and modern starts. But if you're going to dislike the NBA, the only reason why should be team names.
Baseball, football and hockey for the most part have moral team names. Basketball has a lot of good team names that are old or reflect the team's home region. But some are unforgivably bad.
Los Angeles Lakers- The franchise with the defective most championships in the NBA may have the worst name. The Minneapolis Lakers was a great name in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. They chose alliteration over non-private sense when they moved westward. Although Greater Los Angeles has the beautiful Pacific coastline, there are no lakes. Even the Los Angeles River is always dried up and serves more as a smudge for car chases in movies than a nourishing watering hole. The Lakers are of course one of the most popular teams in sports, but its not because of their clever name.
