Although the NBA is the largest commercial competitive basketball league in the world, in fact, the names of NBA teams tend to be artistic. The naming of CBA teams is relatively simple and clear, with a strong commercial atmosphere.
For example, the Guangdong Hongyuan Team simply changed its name to the Guangdong Dongguan Dayi Team because it received financial support from Yunnan Dayi Tea Group in 2020. Its name happens to be a simple combination of the place name and the name of the sponsor. Fans can clearly see where a team is and who sponsors it just by seeing the team's name. Therefore, if NBA teams are named like CBA teams, then each team will have a more interesting team name.
The name changes of each team are as follows:
The Lakers will be renamed the Los Angeles Buss Family; the Spurs will be renamed the San Antonio Caterpillars; the Celtics Will be renamed the Boston Basketball Partners; the Thunder will be renamed the Ohio State Basketball Team; the Suns will be renamed the Phoenix Cal Trust; the Kings will be renamed the Sacramento TIBCO; the Wizards will be renamed the Washington Gaopeng Nets ; Jazz will be renamed Utah Auto Dealers; Hornets will be renamed Charlotte Nike; Bulls will be renamed Chicago Reinsdorf; Warriors will be renamed Golden State Ventures; Bucks will be renamed The Hawks will be renamed Atlanta Private Equity; the Timberwolves will be renamed Minnesota Taylors; the Pelicans will be renamed New Orleans Auto Dealers; the Pacers will be renamed Indian Simon Industries; < /p>
The Rockets will be renamed Houston Landry Catering Team; the 76ers will be renamed Philadelphia Private Equity Team; the Pistons will be renamed Detroit Platinum Asset Management; the Mavericks will be renamed Dallas MicroSolutions; Gray The Bears will be renamed the Memphis Rapid Tech; the Knicks will be renamed the New York Dolan Family; the Magic will be renamed the Orlando Amway; the Cavaliers will be renamed the Cleveland Quicken Loans; the Nuggets will be The Nets will be renamed the Denver Walmart; the Nets will be renamed the New Jersey Alibaba; the Heat will be renamed the Miami Carnival; the Trail Blazers will be renamed the Portland Microsoft II; and the Clippers will be renamed the Los Angeles Microsoft I.
However, such a team paired with cumbersome Chinese translation of English is obviously not conducive to the spread of NBA culture. On the contrary, the NBA's naming method is full of personality. Their team names will be matched with corresponding team logos. For example, the Grizzlies and Raptors are simple and domineering, while the Thunder and Suns are full of masculinity. Therefore, the name of NBA is more beautifying than CBA and is more conducive to the spread of its culture in the world. The naming method of the Shanghai Sharks led by Yao Ming is close to the naming method of the NBA, so I also prefer the Shanghai Sharks.
