30 teams make up the National Basketball Association (NBA). Each team has a different origin and was formed at a different point over the years. Many of the teams also have another thing in common; the current geographic location and its current moniker make no sense together. A re-branding could energize fans and help teams get [...]
Only 5 players remain from the 2009-2010 Chicago Bulls roster: Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Taj Gibson and James Johnson. Core role players like Kirk Hinrich and Brad Miller have been replaced with fresh faces. The NBA preseason has just started and only time will tell how the new players will gel with those [...]
