This sent me on a quest for the worst team nickname in the history of US pro basketball, which is a
pretty challenging competition. The Sheboygan Red Skins, Minnesota Muskies, Texas Chaparrals, and Memphis Tams are all strong contenders, with the Anaheim Amigos looking on wistfully. Not much "go" in the Amigos today, I'm afraid... but at least they're not named after a
plant , and one
primarily found a long way from the franchise location.
Anyway, the much-maligned Eric Gordon, rather than being a traffic cone himself, appeared to turn the Jazz into traffic cones at various points, coming away with 21 points for the Suns second only to Durant. Like some others we could name, just because he looks a bit paunchy doesn't mean he can't still kill ya.
