	Nets joined NBA in 1976, 76ers in 1949, Pistons in 1948, Hawks in 1949, Nuggets in 1976, Spurs in 1976, Kings in 1948, Lakers in 1948. Some teams never changed their name once joining the NBA, but have changed their name at some point in their franchise history, which preceded their entrance into the NBA. I'm not entirely positive if the Hornets were ever officially the Oklahoma City Hornets, but that doesn't affect the quiz. Let me know if I missed anything. Your comments are appreciated!
