About the history of nba!

189 1 year, in order to find a way for students to exercise in winter, Canadian Dr. james naismith created basketball with two broken baskets and a broken football, and today's NBA came into being. The NBA, as we all know, was founded on June 6, 1946/kloc-0. When it was founded, it was called BAA, which is the national basketball association of the United States. It was founded by the owners of eleven ice hockey venues in order to prevent the venues from being idle outside NHL competitions, so the NBA is also called "NHL's little brother". 1949 changed its name to the National Basketball Association (NBA), which has been in use ever since. The association is headquartered in the Olympic Tower at 645 Fifth Avenue, and its current chairman is david stern. The NBA is also one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, but it ranks third, second only to NFL and MLB.

1April 6, 946, the American Basketball Association (ABA) was founded by Walter A. Brown, the owner of Boston Garden in the United States, in order to make the stadium idle outside NHL competitions. When ABA was founded, there were *** 1 1 teams. Brown first proposed the high salary system and the contract system. High salary system means that professional basketball must have strong financial support, so as to keep the game at a high level. Contract system means that a player can only sign a contract with one club and set up a player reserve system to prevent players from leaving the team suddenly and causing losses. 1 65438+1October1,ABA competition officially started. The two teams are the Toronto Eskimos and the new york Knicks. The score was 66: 68, and the Knicks won.

1947, the Philadelphia Warriors led by the team's top star and the league's top scorer (23.2 points per game) defeated the Chicago Bucks 4-0/and became the first championship.

1949, with Brown's efforts, ABA and NBL, two major American basketball organizations, merged into "NBA". The NBA has 17 teams, which are divided into three divisions. The Minneapolis Lakers from NBL won the NBA championship in the first season with the help of george mikan, the No.1 center in the United States, who is 2.09 meters tall.

1976, ABA was annexed by American NBA due to poor management, and the original ABA teams Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, new york Nets and San Antonio Spurs were merged into NBA. The number of teams has increased to 22. Since then, NBA has formed a monopoly on American basketball industry.

The name of the NBA team comes from

NBA is divided into Eastern League and Western League. The two alliances are bounded by the Mississippi River, which is also the traditional dividing line between the eastern and western parts of the United States. My article is divided into two parts, this issue introduces the names of teams in the Eastern League, and the next issue introduces the Western League.

New york Knicks (1626), the first group of people who came to new york today were immigrants from the Netherlands. They called this land "New Amsterdam" after the name of the Dutch city. 1664, the city was occupied by the British and renamed as "new york" or new york. And a Dutch surname "Nick Birkel" has become a common language, referring to those new york people whose ancestors are Dutch immigrants. The most famous "Nick Birkel" in American history is the Roosevelt family, which produced two presidents: theodore roosevelt (190 1- 1904) and franklin roosevelt (1933- 1945). "Nick" is short for "Nick Birkel" (Knicks is the plural of Nick).

Boston Celtics from the 65438+1940s, a large number of Irish immigrants came to Boston. Finally, Boston became the American city with the largest number of Irish people. John F. Kennedy (President 196 1- 1963) is an Irish-American born in Boston. The word "Celtic" means an ancient language, Celtic, and it also means the ancestors of the Irish (and Welsh and Scottish) people. This word commemorates the Irish-American tradition in Boston. ]

Philadelphia 76ers (76ers) The Atlantic States of the United States were originally British colonies. 1July 4, 776, these colonies declared their independence and established the United States of America. The conference to issue the Declaration of Independence was held in Philadelphia, and the name of the Philadelphia basketball team is to commemorate this historical event.

Miami Heat has an exact name, but it is not exciting. Miami, located at the southern tip of Florida Peninsula, is the southernmost big city among the 48 states bordering each other in the continental United States. It is hot all year round, hence the name.

The wizards in DC Washington (please don't confuse Washington with Washington on the west coast) play basketball. "Wizards" (meaning "magicians" in English) has no special meaning as a team name, unless some cynics think that Washington politicians magically make the taxes paid by Americans disappear. The basketball team was called "Bullets Team" before 1997. It was renamed because Washington was, and still is, a high incidence area of violent crimes in China. Considering the large number of gun crimes in this city, the name "bullet team" is not appropriate.

Orlando Magic Orlando, Florida is most famous for Disneyland. The center of Disney World Park is "magic kingdom", hence the name of the team.

The most famous pedestrian in Indianapolis is the Indianapolis 500 Car Race, which runs 500 miles (805 kilometers) every year. In some parts of the competition, the contestants have to follow a sports car and drive forward at the speed of the sports car (the English word pacer is also called walker, so China people translate it into pacer team, but it is more accurate to translate it into leading team.

Detroit Pistons Detroit has long been the center of the American automobile industry, so it has won the reputation of "automobile city", or "motorcycle" in a popular way. The term piston refers to the key component of an automobile engine.

Milwaukee Bucks can see many white-tailed deer in North America, but especially in the fields and forests of Wisconsin. In fact, white-tailed deer is one of the symbols of Wisconsin. A stag is the male of this deer. It is the only deer that can grow antlers (Milwaukee is located in Wisconsin).

Chicago Bulls In the 1980s and 1990s, Michael Jordan made the Bulls the most famous American basketball team in the world. One hundred years before Jordan's time, Chicago was the center of American meat processing industry. Cattle from all over the central United States were loaded on trains and transported to Chicago, where large meat processing plants were slaughtered (for a critical understanding of this period in Chicago's history, please refer to the exposure novel Slaughterhouse written by upton sinclair). Although most meat processing plants have been withdrawn from Chicago, the name "Bull" still reminds people of that period of history.

New Orleans Hornets, New Jersey Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Atlanta Hawks, these names are all general and have no special significance to their cities.

Memphis Grizzly Bear The giant grizzly bear is distributed in the Loki Mountains of the United States and Canada, and it is not their habitat anywhere near Memphis (on the Mississippi River). So why is Memphis named after a grizzly bear? Because the team originally played in Vancouver, Canada, Vancouver is located in British Columbia on the Pacific coast of western Canada, where grizzly bears are home.

Minnesota Timberwolves, like Memphis, Minnesota also uses the beast as the name of the state team, but the name Timberwolves does make sense. Minnesota, which borders Canada, has a large forest and no one to live in, and the timberwolves have settled there.

The story of the San Antonio Spurs about independent, hardworking and self-reliant cowboys has always been an important part of American characteristics, especially for Texas where San Antonio is located. Although Texans now work in offices instead of riding horses, cowboys are still an important cultural symbol in Texas. Spurs are sharp metal objects attached to cowboy boots. Cowboys can make horses run faster by poking them in the side. There is a spurs on the team emblem of the spurs.

Dallas Mavericks The name Dallas (located in Texas) also reflects the history of Texas cowboys. Maverick refers to a rebel who refuses to abide by social norms. The word comes from the surname of a man named Samuel Maverick. He is a rancher in Texas and refuses to brand his cattle according to the general rules. (China's translation of the Dallas team's name into Mavericks is against his original intention, and it is more accurate to translate it into Mavericks, although Mavericks can also represent an unbranded calf. )

Houston Rockets The NASA control center is located in Houston, so it was named Rocket Team. Interestingly, actually none of the rockets were launched from Houston. The rocket was launched from another base in Florida.

Utah jazz is a unique genre of American music invented by blacks in the southern United States, while Utah is a very conservative state in the mountainous area of Loki, where almost no blacks live and has nothing to do with jazz. So what is the reason for using this name? The team first played in New Orleans, one of the cradles of jazz, and then moved to Utah.

Denver Nuggets, located in Denver, Colorado, rose in the gold rush of 1859. In Loki, a mountainous state, it used to be very important to find natural gold and silver mines. Even today, mining still plays an important role in the state's economy.

If the Los Angeles Lakers open the map of Los Angeles, there is no lake in downtown. Why do they have the name Lakers? This name only makes sense when you know the original location of this team-Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minnesota is called "the land of ten thousand lakes" because it has a large number of small lakes, which are located next to Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world.

The Lakers moved from Minnesota to Los Angeles, which is consistent with the trend reflected by the population structure of the United States in the past few decades: the population in the south and west of the United States is growing rapidly, while the population in the north is growing slowly. In fact, NBA teams in California (Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Kings) started playing in northern cities and later moved to California. Portland pioneer America expanded to the western Pacific coast in the19th century. When pioneers go west, they will mark the people behind them along the road. The most famous of these westbound roads is Oregon Road, which leads people from Missouri in the central United States to Oregon in the northwest corner. Today, Portland is the largest city in Oregon, and the name of its NBA team is to commemorate the year along the Oresund.

Seattle supersonics Team Because Boeing Company is located in Seattle, Seattle has always been the center of aircraft manufacturing. Although Boeing recently moved its headquarters to Chicago, most of its manufacturing plants remain in Washington (please note, not Washington), and Boeing 747 and other jets are made in Seattle. The name Supersonic commemorates Seattle's contribution to the jet age.

Los Angeles Clippers/KLOC-In the middle of the 0/9th century, fast sailing boats carried goods and passengers across the ocean. Before the construction of the Trans-American Railway, much of California's trade also depended on this fast sailing day. You can also help him go to the coastal city of San Diego with you when he plays ball in nyhyhjmnj. Later, the team went a little north along the coast and came to Los Angeles, but the original name was still preserved.
