    OK, this is giving me a craft site, which admittedly is better than an NBA site.

    Given the leanings of ownership, it should have been Oklahoma City Fundies. It would have made for a great laser-and-brimstone show during the intros.

    Any team name that is singular (i.e. Heat, Magic, etc.) inherently sucks.

    Naming the Oklahoma City team the Thunder makes for a good minor league baseball promotion....

    Do Shawn Kemp's kids get to run the bases afterwards?

    On the storm theme, I think Oklahoma City Cyclones sounds OK.

    As for the Jazz, I've said for the last few years that New Orleans and Utah should swap nicknames. The Jazz would obviously be a great fit back in its former home, and the beehive is the state symbol of Utah.

    Personally, I just hope they continue the trend and rename the arena to the Thunderdome.

    I'd give a week's paycheck to hear Marv Albert exclaim, before a playoff game, "Welcome to the Thunderdome, bitches!"
