Being the second most successful team in the NBA, the Lakers have become iconic and now it doesn't even matter that the name came from elsewhere, but I would love to see New Orleans be able to get the Jazz nickname back for their team. Utah can be the Salt Lakers. :)Offyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528345612847787915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-77318402202540560602011-11-07T22:01:42.201-08:002011-11-07T22:01:42.201-08:00mike - that pat summitt autograph is one sweet pc ...mike - that pat summitt autograph is one sweet pc addition... one of these days i'll have to look into adding one to my collection too.<br /><br />being a lakers fan, i knew about the history of the team name and their journey from minneapolis... but the whole new orleans jazz thing slipped by me.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-41024684719012081212011-11-07T21:57:30.251-08:002011-11-07T21:57:30.251-08:00The NBA is the worst for displaced team names.

There are plenty of lakes in Minnesota where the Minneapolis Lakers once played.<br /><br />One of the things that made busting those 6 or 7 boxes of Panini Basketball Hall of Fame were the two Pat Summit redemption cards that I pulled. I ended up selling one, but the other card is going to be a permanent part of my collection. That's like pulling a Connie Mack autograph out of baseball or a Vince Lombardi autograph out of football.<br /><br />While I like Hoops, I've never been a fan of the college game so the Fab Five question would have stumped me.Offyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528345612847787915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-47143944237143539392011-10-29T06:34:34.822-07:002011-10-29T06:34:34.822-07:00jeff - finally another guy on the planet who hadn&...jeff - finally another guy on the planet who hadn't heard of the new orleans jazz.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-68070352790622917932011-10-28T19:16:16.898-07:002011-10-28T19:16:16.898-07:00no and yes.
