NBA东部球队名字由来:绿军原本要叫独角兽、尼克斯其实是灯笼裤
身为NBA球迷,你可能看了很多年比赛,可能对每个球员都了若指掌。但你有没有想过一件事:NBA球队的名字由来是什么?其实,有些和其背后城市的文化风俗有关,有些纯粹就是出自于球队老板的兴趣喜好等等。下面跟着我的脚步,一同看看NBA东部球队的名字由来。
多伦多猛龙
猛龙队,作为唯一一支非美国领土的NBA球队,猛龙的成立时间,是NBA联盟当中最晚的。1994年多伦多决定创办一支职业篮球队,当时球队老板就发起投票活动,邀请民众一同来取一下队伍名称,而当时正是科幻电影《侏㑩纪公园》最夯的时候,因此最终便决定以Raptors作为球队的象征。
迈阿密热火
热火也算是相当年轻的球队,1988 年,迈阿密当地要成立职业篮球队,并同样以投票方式选出最好的队伍名称,据传当时一共高达2 万多个选项,其中包含像是鲨鱼、龙卷风、海滩及金梭鱼等队伍名称,最终由热火(Heat)雀屏中选,这词不仅代表着迈阿密当地炎热的气候及热情的居民,同时更期待这支篮球队能如热火般如日中天、蒸蒸日上。
布鲁克林篮网
队名由来就比较Freestyle一点,没有什么历史渊源。前身球队纽泽西美洲人,于1968年迁移至纽约,而当时纽约已经有2支职业球队,分别为MLB 棒球的纽约大都会(Mets)、NFL美式足球的纽约喷射机(Jets ),球队老板为了获得纽约当地民众的支持,故意取了篮网(Nets),随后尽管球队又搬回纽泽西也没有更改队名,最终一直沿用至今。
费城76人
前身为雪城国民(Syracuse Nationals),是NBA最元老的球队之一。1963 年,球队从雪城迁移至了费城,顶替原先费城勇士(金州勇士前身)的位置,成为费城当家的职业篮球队,在成功迁移的当下,球队老板便决定要将队伍名称取为76人,为了要向在1776年于费城签下独立宣言的那群伟人,毕竟没有了他们,就不会有美国的诞生。
波士顿凯尔特人
凯尔特人是当时远洋渡海,来到美洲的爱尔兰国民当中的某个民族名称。1946年建队时,波士顿当地有非常多爱尔兰的后裔,再加上当时纽约有一支名叫凯尔特人的球队战绩不错,因此球队老板便决定将凯尔特人,作为队伍名称。值得一提的是,当初老板心目中,还有像是奥林匹亚人、旋风、独角兽等候选名称,如果今天叫做波士顿独角兽,你能接受吗?
芝加哥公牛
芝加哥是美国第3大城市,畜牧业非常发达,肉类加工业也相当强盛,1966年,当芝加哥要成立职业篮球队时,球队老板原本要取名为斗牛士,不过由于芝加哥其他球队,几乎都是以动物名称为主,因此顺应潮流下,老板最终还是命名为芝加哥公牛(Bulls)。公牛代表敢冲、敢拼、无所畏惧的精神象征,相信老板及球迷,都期待这支篮球队能像公牛般勇往直前。
密尔沃基雄鹿
密尔瓦基位于威斯康辛州,当地的狩猎风气相当盛行,1968年球队建立之时,球队老板同样让当地民众参与投票,选出最适合的队伍名称,最终是由知更鸟(Robins)高票当选,但由于后来球队认为知更鸟和篮球队的形象有些不符,无法完美衬托出球队那种雄壮威武的硬派气势,所以最终便决定以当地另一个特色动物雄鹿(Bucks)作为队名,并一直沿用至今。
克里夫兰骑士
1970年克里夫兰建立职业篮球队之初,由报纸投稿刊登的方式,发起取队名活动,最终由骑士(Cavaliers)以6000多票的票数当选,而队名发想者表示骑士一词代表着无所畏惧、永不屈服等精神意涵。当时被列为候选名单的有“总统”等名字,为什么会出现总统?原因在于克里夫兰所属的俄亥俄州,在过去历史上曾诞生7 名美国总统,仅次于维吉尼亚州(8 次)。
底特律活塞
活塞是NBA全联盟中历史最悠久的球队,1941年,球队成立于印第安那州韦恩堡,名为韦恩堡左纳活塞,当时球队创办者是专门制造汽车引擎的企业老板Fred Zollner,1957年球队迁移至底特律,由于底特律刚好就是汽车大城的关系,跟活塞(Pistons)形象非常吻合,因此最终球队老板也决定延用活塞这个名称。
印第安纳步行者
印第安那以赛车、赛马闻名,当地赛车比赛“印第安纳波利斯500”每年都会举办,是和F1齐名的世界著名赛车盛事之一,而赛中带头的前驱车,就叫做Pacers。在另一方面,当地赛马竞技中的参赛马匹,也正好叫做Pacers。因此,最终在1967年,要成立篮球队时,就用Pacers作为队伍名称。
纽约尼克斯
尼克斯(Knicks)一词为复数形,Knick其实是一种缩写,全名为Knickerbocker,是17世纪从荷兰移民到美洲的后裔,所流行的一种灯笼裤穿搭,当时在纽约路上,几乎都能看见灯笼裤的身影。1946年,纽约要建立职业篮球队时,球队老板便以Knickerbocker为灵感,作为队伍名称,就这样纽约尼克斯便诞生了,创立至今都是这个名字。
奥兰多魔术
1988年奥兰多也想要成立一支职业篮球队,并也利用投票方式一同想出队伍名称,候选名单包含太空人、魔术、佛罗里达人等等,但最终是由挑战者(Challenger)以最高票之姿脱颖而出,后来球队经过一连串讨论后,还是决定将队名改为魔术(Magic),其原因是为了想要向当地赫赫有名的迪士尼乐园总部致敬,魔术一词正好和迪士尼那充满奇幻的世界相互呼应。
夏洛特黄蜂
1988年,原先球队老板想要用精神(Spirit)当作队伍名称,结果引发当地民众反弹,后来举办票选活动,最终黄蜂(Hornets)脱颖而出。2002年球队迁移至纽奥良,老板决定将队名,更改成当地的代表性动物山猫(Bobcat),后来原本的纽奥良黄蜂变成纽奥良鹈鹕后,夏洛特当地居民想要恢复先前的队名,最终在2014年又变回夏洛特黄蜂。
华盛顿奇才
成立于1961年,前身为芝加哥包装工,后来又改名芝加哥西风。在球队迁移至巴尔的摩,又改名为巴尔的摩子弹。1973年搬至华盛顿特区,改成首都子弹,隔了1年之后,又改为华盛顿子弹。1997年,由于华盛顿当地枪枝泛滥,老板认为子弹一词有些暴力且不当,因此举办票选活动,最终由奇才(Wizards)当选。
亚特兰大老鹰
老鹰的球队历史丰富,1946 年,球团建立于3 座城市之间并命名为三城黑鹰,后来这3 座城市合并变为现今的阔德城。黑鹰(Blackhawks)为当地曾替美洲原住民奋战的印地安人领袖的名字,1951 年球队迁移至密尔瓦基后,将其名缩短为老鹰(Hawks),随后搬至圣路易、一直到现在的亚特兰大,都采用原本的队伍名称。
「键盘侠」一哥或加盟湖人|打入“敌人”内部“守护”库里?
[Warriors on NBCS] Andre Iguodala reportedly will secure a buyout from the Grizzlies and then sign with the Lakers.
有多家媒体报道称,伊戈达拉将会被灰熊买断,然后底薪加盟湖人。

黄蜂球迷:想象一下这个画面,湖人和勇士在季后赛抢七相遇,詹姆斯大帽库里之后高抛给一哥,后者罚球线起跳、迎着追梦就是一记标志性的隔扣。

How are the Lakers loaded? They don't even have a roster yet unless I missed signings

Two of the top 7 players in the league is loaded as hell...
As much as all the nephews like to shit on the Lakers, Palinka clearly knows what the fuck he’s doing so I assume the team is going to very competent for the start of the season.
公牛球迷:队里有两个联盟前7级别的球员,这特么就已经很不错了啊……
尽管很多小学生都喜欢死命喷湖人,可是佩林卡很清楚自己在搞毛,所以我觉得湖人到了下赛季初会做好充分准备。
[–]Cavaliers Unsure_About_A_Lot 32 points an hour ago
Lebron + AD + anyone worth 32 mill = loaded ... I know people keep talking about the vet mins filling out the roster but come on, enough good players will want to join that team for like nothing that they'll be fine
Like I know injury and all that but come on, who else but warriors coulda got boogie for that money last year (regardless of it ended up working)
骑士球迷:詹姆斯+戴维斯,再加任何一个配得上3200万年薪的球员,这就等于是兵强马壮了……我知道很多人老说什么湖人会有一堆老将底薪,可是拜托啊,会有很多好手会主动来投的,湖人好得很。
[–]deponent 17 points an hour ago
Lebron + AD + anyone worth 32 mill = loaded
If they find someone worth 32 mil willing to sign. The only one left is Kawhi.
Indeed, Lakers would be much better off if they signed Kawhi for the 32 mil and filled the roster with vet min/G-league players.
But if he stays/goes to Clippers/elsewhere, Lakers will have to use the 32 mil to fill the roster, and considering the contracts thrown so far, those 32 mil won't go too far.
“詹姆斯+戴维斯,再加任何一个配得上3200万年薪的球员,这就等于是兵强马壮了”
前提是湖人找得到配得上3200万年薪的球员啊。现在就剩卡哇伊了。
确实,要是湖人签下了小卡,阵容里再搭上一堆老将底薪和发展联盟球员,那么也会强得多。
可要是小卡留队或者是去了快船,那湖人就得用这3200万的空间去补强了,考虑到目前各队的各种大手笔,这3200万也不算个事儿啊。

只要一哥身体没毛病,他在场上的智慧就是不可取代的。他的身体素质是很好的,所以哪怕现在的他有点慢了,可是相比一般球员,除了臂展和技术之外,他的跑动还是很不错的。关键在于健康。希望能让他得到必要的休息,这样才能为季后赛做好准备。

Warriors vs. Lakers WCF game 7
Lebron picks Steph’s pocket and has a breakaway series sealing dunk. Laker forward Iguodala is matching Lebron stride for stride

In the post game conference Andre nods with satisfaction “Just protecting Steph’s legacy”
勇士球迷:西部决赛第七战:勇士vs湖人
詹姆斯抢断库里,有机会用一记包括了断这轮系列赛。湖人前锋伊戈达拉紧随詹姆斯左右,就在后者强起暴扣之际……现场MC一脸懵逼地大喊“老詹被一哥帽了……”

We could get more assets by holding him until the trade deadline. We have no chance at more assets this way.
灰熊球迷:那我们可以等到交易截止日啊,那时候可以拿到更多回报啊。现在这样我们是没机会的。

With his current contract? I doubt you guys could get much out of it even if it only has a year left. If Iggy isn’t interested in playing for you guys might as well just buy him out.
湖人球迷:就凭他现在的合同?哪怕他的合同期只剩一年,我觉得你们很可能也得不到什么。如果一哥没兴趣为灰熊打球,还不如把他买断。
[–]Knick edUp 41 points 3 hours ago
Iggy is a well invested man. He understands being in Memphis basically puts him out of the league. No one will ever hear from him. But if he goes with the Lakers...he's still in the game, on national tv every week. He would surely forego some millions for that.
尼克斯球迷:一哥这人很精明的。他知道去了孟菲斯就基本意味着离开NBA,那就没人在意他了。可要是他去了湖人……那就还在打,每周都有全美直播。那他肯定是愿意为此放弃几百万的。
