Denver Nuggets? Ha ha ha. I'm not from the US and I would have to say that is the funniest name for a team... where I'm from if you call someone a nugget it's because they are short and stocky (very un-basketball player like) or it's another name for poo!

No, silly goose! They are sponsored and named by McDonald's, to advertise for their chicken nuggets.

Just kidding. They're named after gold nuggets that were found in the West.

The Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans and lived life as the New Orleans Hornets for a number of years before switching names to the Pelicans. The Charlotte Bobcats were a new franchise that popped up after the Hornets left. When the New Orleans franchise changed names, it opened up the ability for the Bobcats to switch names to the Hornets. So, much like the Cleveland Browns circa 1999, these are two completely different franchises that end up being named exactly the same thing.

"Sixers" is accepted for 76ers. "Knicks" is accepted for Knickerbockers. "Blazers" is accepted for Trailblazers. "Mavs" is accepted for Mavericks. "Cavs" is accepted for Cavaliers. and finally, "Wolves" is accepted for Timberwolves. so, HectorVortac, several nicknames are in fact accepted for several entries on this quiz. "TWolves" should probably also be accepted.
