Please share trivia about NBA teams here.

I'll start:

The OKC Thunder have never faced a Kings team that finished with a .500 record.



[inb4 Boston/Clippers switch]

Is this interesting? Are you including the Seattle team?

Everyone knows its been since the early 2000s since the Kings made the playoffs.

Everyone knows the Thunder moved to Oklahoma City after the Kings last playoff appearance.

The Celtics primarily play their home games in Boston.

The Grizzlies used to be based in Canada, but now they are not. But the Raptors are still based in Canada.

The Cavaliers have had players on their roster over 7 feet tall.

The Hawks sell Coca Cola products in their concession stands.

I found it interesting. You'd figure there would have been one year that caught em at 3-2.

An interesting fact: Oklahoma is the coolest franchise in the NBA!

Did I hack your account?

The Wizards/Bullets have had the two tallest and two shortest players in NBA history play for the franchise (3 are obvious to team fans, the 4th was Earl Boykins).

everyone knows the knickerbockers are a type of pants but the name has another link. It's the pseudonym of the writer Washington Irving, who wrote many classic short stories such as Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, but also wrote a book “A history of New York “under the name Knickerbocker.

I thought the name was based on this:

capitalized : a descendant of the early Dutch settlers of New York
broadly : a native or resident of the city or state of New York —used as a nickname

your not really wrong it's just the book is where the dutch new yorkers got it from.
'The name "Knickerbocker" first acquired meaning with Washington Irving's History of New York, which featured the fictional author Diedrich Knickerbocker, an old-fashioned Dutch New Yorker in Irving's satire of chatty and officious local history.[4] In fact, Washington Irving had a real friend named Herman Knickerbocker (1779–1855), whose name he borrowed.'

nice, thanks

We have a winner.

Kings are the oldest professional basketball team in the world and will celebrate 100 years next season.
