Minnesota Timberwolves, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Timberwolves play at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and wear uniforms of white, blue, silver, and green. The club name originated with a name-the-team contest, and the timberwolf, an animal that inhabits wilderness areas of northern Minnesota, was selected as the team mascot.[A Professional Business Forum]8\+o#O5{/H*s"l6f%Q

On January 12, 1984, Minnesota governor Rudy Perpich assembled a 30-member panel led by legendary Minneapolis Lakers center George Mikan to bring NBA basketball back to the state. (The Minneapolis Lakers had moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1960.) After attempts to purchase the Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio Spurs, and Utah Jazz failed, the NBA awarded Minnesota a new franchise in 1987.

Minnesota first-ever draft pick was Jerome ooh?Richardson, who went on to be named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 1989-90. The Timberwolves finished the season with 22 wins and 60 losses, which was the best record that year among the NBA's four recent expansion clubs. The team posted a seven-game improvement in its second year, but a league-record four straight seasons of 60 or more losses followed from 1991-92 through 1994-95.

Also that season, guard Micheal Williams made 84 consecutive foul shots to break Calvin Murphy 12-year-old NBA record. Williams .907 free-throw percentage that year set a Timberwolves record.

San Antonio Spurs, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Spurs play in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and wear jerseys of black and white.

The Spurs franchise regularly qualified for the postseason in its first 20 years, both as a member of the now-defunct American Basketball Association (ABA) and after the team joined the NBA following the 1975-76 season. In 1999, led by center David Robinson and forward Tim Duncan, the team advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time. In the finals the Spurs defeated the New York Knicks, four games to one.

&d*J-I-`1xwww.fobshanghai.comEstablished as the Dallas Chaparrals in 1967, the team was one of the original 11 ABA teams. Led by player-coach and former St. Louis Hawks star Cliff Hagan, the Chaparrals recorded winning seasons in their first three years. By 1972, however, the team had dropped to the bottom of the league, and attendance sagged.

Before the 1973-74 season a group of investors bought the franchise, moved it to San Antonio, and renamed it the Spurs. The new owners also obtained several key players, including guard George Gervin. Known as The Iceman for his cool demeanor, Gervin helped the Spurs become one of the ABA top teams in the mid-1970s.

After the ABA folded in 1976, the Spurs and three other ABA teams joined the NBA. The Spurs made the playoffs in their first season in the NBA and won the Central Division title in their second and third years. Much of the team success was due to Gervin, whose offensive skills won him four scoring titles. In the Spurs?third NBA season, 1978-79, the club advanced to the conference finals before losing to the Washington Bullets, four games to three.

The league realigned its divisions in 1980, moving the Spurs to the Western Conference. There the team reached the conference finals in 1982 and 1983, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers both times. The Spurs then suffered through several losing seasons in the mid- to late 1980s. The franchise won the number-one pick in the 1987 draft and selected David Robinson, from the United States Naval Academy. N;z)O3J%C!]/o0G/}&o

After fulfilling his two-year commitment to the Navy, Robinson joined the Spurs for the 1989-90 season. His impact was immediate: The Spurs, who had finished last in the Midwest Division in 1988-89, won the division in 1989-90, and Robinson won the NBA rookie of the year award. Powered by Robinson, the Spurs won more than 50 games five times in the early and mid-1990s, although they were unable to advance to the conference finals. In the 1993-94 season Robinson and forward Dennis Rodman became the first NBA teammates to lead the league in scoring (29.8) and rebounding (17.3), respectively. In 1994-95 the franchise experienced its best win-loss record ever at 62-20, and Robinson also won the NBA most valuable player (MVP) award. San Antonio once again reached the playoffs in 1995-96, but the team performance declined in the 1996-97 season after Robinson was sidelined by a broken foot for much of the year.

The Spurs improved dramatically in 1997-98, as Robinson and rookie of the year Tim Duncan led the team to a 56-26 record. In the lockout-shortened 1999 season the Spurs registered a 37-13 record and finished first in the Midwest Division. The club lost only two games in four postseason series, and defeated the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals to claim the franchise first league title.

History Of JazzFOB Business Forum"u+@.D%J(H"w
Utah Jazz, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Originally based in New Orleans, Louisiana, and named for that city musical heritage, the Jazz play in the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, and wear jerseys of purple, white, and yellow.FOB Business Forum9e(G0[#{%i2?0D;m
In their early years the Jazz were led by guard Pete Maravich. While in Utah, the team was anchored by forwards Adrian Dantley and Karl Malone and guard John Stockton. The Jazz were among the league strongest teams in the 1980s and 1990s. During the 1996-97 regular season, the Jazz posted a win-loss record of 64-18, the best in the Western Conference, and reached the NBA Finals for the first time.FOB Business Forum.e,p4S6c0B5\,R:p/];O

The New Orleans Jazz joined the NBA in 1974 as an expansion team and traded two players and four draft picks to the Atlanta Hawks for Pete Maravich. The Jazz did not register a winning record in the team first nine seasons, but Maravich behind-the-back passing, fancy dribbling, and frequent shooting made the Jazz one of the most popular clubs in the league. In 1976 former Los Angeles Lakers player Elgin Baylor was hired as the team抯 third head coach, but the Jazz still remained near the bottom of the league. After the team posted the NBA worst record during the 1978-79 season, the Jazz ownership decided to move the team to Salt Lake City.

Despite a new home in Utah, the Jazz did not fare much better. In 1981-82 Utah general manager, Frank Layden, assumed the head coaching duties. As general manager, Layden had begun to acquire star players, trading for Adrian Dantley in 1979 and drafting guard Darrell Griffith in 1980 and center Mark Eaton in 1982. As coach, Layden slowly guided the Jazz to the top of the Midwest Division. In 1984 the team recorded its first winning season, with a 45-37 win-loss mark, and made its first playoff appearance. That team became the first in NBA history to have four of its players lead the league in a major statistical category: Dantley won the scoring title (averaging 30.6 points per game), Griffith had the league best three-point field-goal percentage (36 percent), guard Rickey Green topped the league in steals (2.65 per game), and Eaton led in blocked shots (4.28 per game).

-S8b&|2j6Q&dFOB Business ForumThe Jazz drafted John Stockton in 1984 from Gonzaga University and Karl Malone in 1985 from Louisiana Tech University. Both were relatively unknown players from schools not associated with major college basketball. But they formed one of the most effective guard-forward combinations in NBA history and served as the foundation of a winning Jazz team for more than a dozen seasons. Both Stockton and Malone were perennial members of the All-Star team, and both were part of the United States national basketball team at the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games. The pair also shared most valuable player (MVP) honors at the 1993 NBA All-Star Game.

After the 1987-88 season, Jerry Sloan took over the head coaching duties and Layden became the club president. Two years later Sloan guided the team to a 55-27 record and a second-place finish in the Midwest Division. The Jazz won more than 50 games in eight of nine seasons from 1988-89 through 1996-97. The team reached the Western Conference Finals three times, but losses to the Portland Trail Blazers in 1992, the Houston Rockets in 1994, and the Seattle SuperSonics in 1996 kept the team from advancing to the NBA Finals.

Utah advanced to the NBA Finals but was defeated, 4 games to 2, by the Chicago Bulls. Utah again advanced to the NBA Finals in 1998 after posting a 62-20 regular-season record and defeating the Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Lakers in the Western Conference playoffs.

The Memphis Grizzlies kicked off their inaugural season on November 1 at home against the Detriot Pistons. Justin Timberlake opened the game with the National Anthem and Isaac Hayes wooed the crowd with a medley featuring America the Beautiful. The Grizzlies recorded their first victory of the season on Saturday, November 17 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a much needed morale boaster after an 8-game losing streak. The Grizzlies closed the season a little stronger than they opened it, winning 4 of their final 8 games and matching their previous season record of 23-59.
'M'G0m"^%x6Kwww.fobshanghai.comThe biggest victories for the Grizzlies this season came off the court. The electric combination of Shane Battier and Pau Gasol gave Grizzlies fans many reasons to cheer.

With a little experience under their belts, Battier and Gasol will be a big part of improving the Grizzlies game record.

At the close of the 2001-2002 season the Grizzlies added another weapon to their arsenal. Remember that little chant, eat LA? well everything comes full circle. In April, the Grizzlies announced Jerry West as the new President of Basketball Operations. West who has over 40 years of experiences in the NBA, served as a player, coach, and executive for the LA Lakers. West said he came out of retirement for the sole purpose of 揵uilding a winning franchise.?

The Heat lost the first 17 games of its 1988-89 debut season, setting an NBA record for the most losses to begin a season.

The club抯 record slowly improved over the next few years. During the 1991-92 season the team registered a 38-44 record, qualifying for its first playoff appearance.

Philadelphia 76ers, professional basketball team and one of seven teams in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 76ers play in the First Union Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and wear jerseys of red, white, and blue. The team name is taken from the year 1776, when Philadelphia was the political center of the United States, which had just declared its independence from Britain.

The 76ers (also known as the Sixers) began play in 1946 as the Syracuse Nationals. In 1950 they played against the Minneapolis Lakers in the NBA抯 first championship series. The Nationals were a perennial power behind the play of forward Dolph Schayes, reaching the NBA Finals in 1954 and winning the NBA championship in 1955. The team moved to Philadelphia in 1963 and adopted its current name. In the 1966-67 season the squad included center Wilt Chamberlain, guard Hal Greer, and forwards Billy Cunningham and Chet Walker; it won 68 games and the NBA title. In the late 1970s and early 1980s the 76ers made four trips to the NBA Finals, claiming the 1983 championship. Those teams featured forwards Julius Erving, George McGinnis, and Bobby Jones; guards Maurice Cheeks and Andrew Toney; and center Moses Malone.

[A Professional Business Forum] \2u;~4l)I7Y*y:b
The Syracuse Nationals joined the National Basketball League (NBL) in the 1946-47 season. Three years later six NBL franchises, including the Nationals, merged with the Basketball Association of America (BAA) to form the NBA. The Nationals won their division title in the NBA inaugural season, 1949-50, but they lost to the Minneapolis Lakers in the first NBA Finals.

Dolph Schayes was the Nationals?first star. He led the club in scoring for 13 consecutive years and was its top rebounder for 10 seasons. In its early years the team also included player-coach Al Cervi, who first played professionally in the 1930s. The Nationals again lost to the Lakers in the 1954 NBA Finals, but the next season they defeated the Fort Wayne Pistons in seven games to capture the franchise first NBA title.![*y0s3k.T/C#X(H!T2C

#g3m(m.F&f1Q*y.qFOB Business ForumIn the late 1950s and early 1960s the team remained competitive, but it rarely advanced far in the playoffs. Top players in those years included center Johnny Kerr, forward George Yardley, and guards Larry Costello and Hal Greer.,r'u)J'|$]2L5w*W/d'd8{

This left Philadelphia without a professional basketball team. A season later paper manufacturer Irv Kosloff and attorney Ike Richman bought the Syracuse Nationals, moved the team to Philadelphia, and renamed it the 76ers. Halfway through the 1964-65 season the 76ers obtained Wilt Chamberlain from the Warriors in a trade. Chamberlain had led the league in scoring in his first five NBA seasons with the Warriors, and he did so again in his first season with the 76ers. In 1965-66, Chamberlain first full season with the 76ers, the team won 55 games to break the Boston Celtics?string of seven consecutive division titles. In the playoffs, however, the Celtics defeated the 76ers in the division finals.

The club registered 68 wins, which set a league record for the most victories in a single season, and defeated the Warriors for the NBA title. (The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls now hold the record for regular-season wins with 72.) The 76ers won 60 games the following season but were upended by the Celtics in the conference finals. The club traded Chamberlain in 1968, beginning a period of decline that included the worst regular-season record in NBA history 9-73 win-loss mark in 1972-73.[A Professional Business Forum]&v6b D9}3d2_6Y

There they were upset by the Portland Trail Blazers. The 76ers remained one of the NBA best teams for the next several seasons. In addition to Erving, outstanding players of the time included forwards Bobby Jones and Darryl Dawkins and guards Maurice Cheeks, Lionel Hollins, and Andrew Toney. In both 1980 and 1982 the 76ers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.

Cheeks, Erving, Jones, Malone, and Toney led a 76ers team that posted a 65-17 record in the 1982-83 season and swept the Lakers in the NBA Finals. Malone won the league most valuable player (MVP) award.[A Professional Business Forum]:v$P7Q-r;t

,N:F)t7O8r/F,A5_:swww.fobshanghai.comIn 1984 the 76ers drafted forward Charles Barkley, who energized the aging team and helped it advance to the 1985 Eastern Conference Finals. Erving retired after the 1986-87 season. In 1992 the 76ers traded Barkley to the Phoenix Suns, and after the deal the team suffered several losing seasons in the early and mid-1990s. In the mid- and late 1990s Philadelphia drafted several promising young players. The most prominent new face was guard Allen Iverson, who was the 1996-97 NBA rookie of the year. In the lockout-shortened 1999 season, Iverson led the 76ers to the club first playoff appearance since 1991.
