Basketball Names

When it comes to basketball names, you’ve got plenty of choices. Choose from the best known teams, or go for a quirky, unique one. You could name your team after an infamous player, like Kobe Bryant. The NBA isn’t the only sport that has great basketball names, either. There are some great examples of backbenchers and crowd pullers as well, including the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks.

If you’re playing in a casual league, stick to light, fun, or even snarky names. You can still pick an edgier name, such as “Speed Freaks.” You could even name your team after a flag football team, if you’re feeling a bit wild. If you’re in a competitive, championship-minded league, you might want to choose a more serious and prestigious name, like “The Big Apples.” If you’re a more realistic team, pick something a little more offensive, like “Shut Up, Boston.”

If you’re playing in a more casual league, choose a light-hearted, catchy name for your team. Alternatively, you can choose a more edgy, but less serious name like “Speed Freaks.” The name isn’t necessarily intended to offend anyone; you might want to use it for a flag football team or a lacrosse club. A good basketball team name can reflect the team’s attitude and style.
