Correctly named teams will show up below
Click any empty Nickname or Team to answer for that location
I didn't include teams that have already signed Shaq. Some teams were hard to come up with good nicknames for; let me know if you think of better ones!

	Very creative. Good work

	Good quiz. But a puma is not the same thing as a bobcat. A lynx and a bobcat are the same, as are pumas, cougars and mountain lions. But they're not the same. Maybe change it to the Big Lynx?

	Some of these are pretty genius. I personally think "Big Liberty" works better for the Knicks (and maybe- pulling names out of my head here- "The Big Cheesesteak" or "The Declaration of Indeshaqness- for Philly). But still, I like this quiz more than basically any other game where the answers are all completely made up. Bravo.

	Not bad, but where are the other teams? Bulls, Celtics, Heat, Magic, You missed 4 of the 6 teams he played for!

	to MikeN, I actually skipped all 6 teams he played for on purpose because he already had/has nicknames there (Shaqtus, Big Shamrock, etc.) The Bulls are on there.

	By the way, a puma is not the same thing as a bobcat

	Whoops, is there a delete comment action anywhere on here, when you comment before you read all the rest of them?

	k I edited the quiz...thanks guys for the heads up about the puma and liberty sounding like New York.

	Big Boom is ironic as Oklahoma City is known for the Federal Government Building bombing.
