Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are a professional basketball team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Hawks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Southeast Division. The team plays its home games at State Farm Arena.
The Hawks began playing in 1946 as a member of the National Basketball League (NBL) and joined the NBA in 1949 when the leagues merged. In 1951, the Hawks moved from the NBL to the newly formed NBA’s Eastern Division. Bob Pettit joined the Hawks later that year as the franchise’s first superstar player. Pettit led the Hawks to nine straight playoff appearances and helped make them one of the NBA’s strongest teams during the 1950s and 1960s, when they reached two NBA Finals, winning one in 1958. After another period of mediocrity following Pettit’s retirement, they drafted Dominique Wilkins with the third overall pick in 1982.Wilkins had immediate success with 28 points on his debut game, leading his team to overtime against eventual 1984 Eastern Conference champions Milwaukee Bucks, but ultimately losing 105-103 by just one point due their lack of depth compared to Milwaukee who went on to have a 49-win regular season record that season; which was eventually matched by Atlanta 25 years later in 2007 en route to their 60 win regular season record before eventually being upset by Cleveland Cavaliers who were also led by future Hall of Famer LeBron James in that year’s playoffs. In 1988–89, Wilkins nearly won an MVP award; he was voted among league leaders in points (28th), rebounds (9th), blocks (4th), steals (11th), and field goals made (8th). He and teammates Kevin Willis and Doc Rivers helped lead Atlanta back into playoff contention during late 80s and early 90s.
With Wilkins as the franchise cornerstone player, Atlanta qualified for four straight seasons from 1988 to 1991 despite records of 30-52, 21-61, 28-54, and 31-51; which was highlighted by their underdog status against more superior teams such as eventualEastern Conference champions Detroit Pistons who were led by future Hall of Famers Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars en route to back-to-back NBA championships in 1989 & 1990 while also being supported by fellow Hall of Famers Dennis Rodman & Bill Laimbeer; as well as Chicago Bulls who were led by eventual 6-time NBA champion Michael Jordan en route to 3peat from 1991-1993. However, under new head coach Lenny Wilkens,Atlanta notched consecutive 50+ win seasons for first time since 1970 & 1971 while reaching Eastern Conference Finals for first time since 1970 before eventually losing 4–2 against eventual 1991 NBA champions Chicago Bulls who went on achieve 72 win regular season record; which was eventually broken by Golden State Warriors 23 years laterin 2016 en route to their 73 win regular season record before eventually losing 4–3 against LeBron James & Kyrie Irving-led Cleveland Cavaliers despite holding 3–1 lead in that year’s NBA Finals.
In 1994–95 lockout shortened season, Atlanta qualified for playoffs for 10th straight time before eventually losing 3–2 against Indiana Pacers despite holding 2–0 lead due to Reggie Miller scoring 25 points including game winner with 8 seconds left in game 5 followed up with 32 points including 8 three pointers made while only allowing 1 field goal made during last 18 possessions en route to Pacers coming back from 0–2 deficit followed up IUPUI scandal where 7 players were found guilty thus preventing further participation which included star player Damon Stoudamire being one of them thusforth leading to mass exodus where 12 out 14 players didn’t return next season resulting in 20 wins during 1995–96 campaign followed up with missed playoffs for first time since 1990.

Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets is a professional basketball team based in the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City. The Nets compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The team plays its home games at Barclays Center. They are one of two NBA teams located in New York City; the other is the New York Knicks. The club was established in 1967 as a charter franchise of the NBA’s rival league, the American Basketball Association (ABA). They played four seasons in New Jersey as the New Jersey Americans, before relocating to Long Island in 1971 and changing their name to the New York Nets. During this time, the Nets won two ABA championships (in 1974 and 1976). The team then moved back to New Jersey in 1977, and became known as the New Jersey Nets from 1977 to 2012. Then they played two seasons in Newark before moving back to Brooklyn, which became their home base for all operations from 2012 onwards.
The team’s current form dates back to June 2012, when Russian businessman Mikhail Prokhorov reached an agreement with then-NBA Commissioner David Stern to purchase a controlling interest in Nets Basketball LLC — which owned both the newly renamed Brooklyn Nets basketball franchise and sister property Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum — from Bruce Ratner for US$223 million (equivalent to $271 million in 2019). Prokhorov eventually bought out forest City Enterprises’ share of Ratner’s liabilities (a sum equal to US$365 million [$437 million in 2019]), giving him full ownership of both properties, which included full control over all aspects of arena operations and marketing. Upon assuming full ownership, he hired Billy King as general manager and later head coach Avery Johnson, who helped lead them to their first playoff series victory since their ABA days as well as their first division title since 2006 despite continued struggles during what many pundits described as a “transitional phase” for his tenure with much roster turnover that led up to eventual All-Star point guard D’Angelo Russell’s acquisition via trade during his second season with Deron Williams being traded away along with Brook Lopez later on during that same offseason after severely missing out on signing Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving following their departures from Oklahoma City & Cleveland respectively during free agency while they instead opted on signing with crosstown rivals Knicks that led up many pundits & experts declaring both players “the new faces of [the] Knicks” at Madison Square Garden much like how Patrick Ewing served as such during his 15 seasons playing for them throughout his Hall-of-Fame worthy career where he was inducted into Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2008 becoming first player ever inducted while still being active playing professional basketball headlining Melbourne United of National Basketball League (NBL) based out Australia serving as starting center until his retirement following end of 2017–18 NBL season where he served one-year stint following end of 2016–17 NBA season after being fired by Charlotte Hornets where he served 12 total seasons playing for them throughout his 18-year NBA career where he was originally drafted by Seattle SuperSonics 1st overall pick during 1995 NBA Draft only for him eventually being traded away to Charlotte Hornets on draft night where he would go on play 12 seasons for them prior getting fired following end 2005–06 NBA season despite leading Hornets organization into playoffs six times throughout his tenure there receiving Coach of Year honors doing so becoming 6th person ever win both Rookie Coach Year & Coach Year honors joining Pat Riley Bob Hill Bill Fitch Gene Shue Lenny Wilkens & Don Nelson list doing so while also becoming first & only person ever receive Rookie Coach Year honors leading expansion team into playoffs joining Bill self Herb Brown Mike Dunleavy Sr Tubby Smith Dick Motta Jerry Sloan Eddie Jordan Byron Scott P.J Carlesimo George Karl Rick Carlisle Nate McMillan Larry Brown Mike D’Antoni Gregg Popovich Alvin Gentry Quin Snyder Steve Kerr Dwane Casey Doc Rivers Terry Stotts Rudy Tomjanovich Paul Westphal Byron Scott Rick Adelman Scott Brooks assistant coach Nate McMillan Maurice Cheeks Tom Thibodeau Alvin Gentry Dwane Casey Gregg Popovich Steve Kerr listings doing so respectively.

The team is owned by Michael Jordan, who acquired a controlling interest in the team in 2010. The Hornets play their home games at the Spectrum Center in Uptown Charlotte.
The original Hornets franchise was established in 1988 as an expansion team, and became one of the NBA’s first successful expansions, winning 52 games in its inaugural season. The team then qualified for the playoffs seven out of its next eight seasons under head coach Dick Harter, but failed to make it out of the first round during that span. In 1998, the Hornets were sold to George Shinn, who frequently relocated the franchise while it struggled to find success. It was then acquired by New Orleans native Robert Lurally Godfrey in 2010, who also owned minority interests in other NBA teams at the time. The team also changed its name to New Orleans Pelicans before the 2013–14 season after New Orleanians generally considered “Hornets” a reminder of Shinn’s unpopularity following his controversial relocation of the previous incarnation of Charlotte Hornets to New Orleans. The Bobcats returned as Charlotte’s professional basketball team following their 10-year hiatus starting with the 2014–15 season unexpectedly many fans welcomed them back having never taken to “the Pelicans” moniker or logo and continuing where they had left off using both while finishing with a 43-39 record and making their 2nd playoff appearance since returning playing as “the Hornets”.
The Charlotte Hornets have three jerseys: white, purple, and teal.
