With the All-Star Break in full force and no games taking place until Thursday, it has given some people on Reddit time to create some new NBA team names.
Reddit user UncleScola used a free translation site to translate every NBA team to Chinese and gave the literal meaning of what the team would be in China.
Boston Celtics – Wave, in the world's g
Brooklyn Nets – The Peruvian Clint basket website
New York Knicks – New York, Turks
Philadelphia 76ers – Fees City 76
Toronto Raptors – Toronto Storm Dragon
Chicago Bulls – Chicago Bulls
Cleveland Cavaliers – Cleveland Balaam ride upon,
Detroit Pistons – Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers – Indiana Yo Ma
Milwaukee Bucks – The representation of the base of the deer
Atlanta Hawks – And the Syrians Da Ying
Charlotte Hornets – The Charlotte Yellow Bee
Miami Heat – The key heating fire transition
Orlando Magic – The Dutch more vital Magic Technology
Washington Wizards – Washington witch'
Denver Nuggets – The Denver gold pieces
Minnesota Timberwolves – In the su to Grey Wolves
Oklahoma City Thunder – Oklahoma City Thunder
Portland Trailblazers – Pioneer of the porter in Ireland
Utah Jazz – Judah he Jazz
Golden State Warriors – Golden State Warriors

Sacramento Kings – The degree of Sha Wang
Dallas Mavericks – With the independent line
Houston Rockets – When the Disney World rocket
Memphis Grizzlies – In the Memphis Grizzlies
New Orleans Pelicans – New York good pelican vital
San Antonio Spurs – The shareholders of the holy horse vital Gill
It is no doubt that the most popular team in China would be the Indiana Yo Mo. The most boring response from the list above is the Golden State Warriors, who in China, would be called the Golden State Warriors. The Chicago Bulls, and the Detroit Pistons also kept their same name. That is followed by a close second of the Memphis Grizzlies who would be called In the Memphis Grizzlies.
With the NBA growing, maybe this is a good idea. Maybe every team should start putting their Chinese translated name on their jerseys for one game a year and have a theme night that relates to their new name.
