Basketball was always my sport. Dribbling wasn’t my thing, but I was a great perimeter shooter and strong defensively. I was even a youth-league all-star before I stopped growing vertically and began growing horizontally. Back in 1980, when Dominique Wilkins played at the University of Georgia, he came by the gym in Danielsville to show us kids some of the nifty moves that he would go on to display in the NBA.

The National Basketball Association is much different today. Some teams have changed names and/or locales, and expansion teams have sprung up around the country. In today’s lunchtime quiz, the object is simply to name all 30 current NBA teams. We don’t need city or state names, just the team names, and typing case doesn’t matter. Give it a shot!

  1. I got 29 in 2:30, then watched the clock tick all the way down to 0:00. The Milwaukee Bucks were the elusive team.

  2. I got 23/30. Pretty good for someone who thinks the NBA (and the MLB) is full of a bunch of overpaid babies.

  3. I surprise myself everytime, but I still did horrible. A quiz about the NFL teams.. I think I could succeed at that.

  4. 23/30. Better than I would expect for someone who thought the Sonics were still a team.

  5. I couldn’t come up with the Nuggets or the Thunder. I’m an NBA fan, although I haven’t been able to follow the sport closely in recent years. I didn’t even realize that the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder.

  7. I got all of them but the Heat.

    Come on! That’s barely even a team name!

  8. I got 28/30. Was missing the Cavaliers and the Bucks. Since I could care less if basketball was ever played again I’m pretty happy with my results.

    on the Hockey one (I love hockey) I was pissed that I missed one team. I don’t know how I could have forgotten about the Capitals.

  9. I got them all except two at about two minutes. Then the clock ticked down to ten seconds and I got the raptors. I really hate the jazz right now.

  10. I had 22 named a minute into it. Reeled off five more and got the last team–the Trailblazers–with about 2:30 left. I love these quizzes.
