    The Oklahoma City Thundercats is a minor league as you can get. I like the Oklahoma City Dunkadelics. They can abbreviate to Dunks or Dunka. like the old Phila. for the Philadelphia 76ers. Who wants to be called a Thundercat. That might be the worst I've heard so far.

    The team needs to be called the panhandlers. That would probably be the best mascot besides Appalachian State.

Orlando Magic Summer League Announcers Responsible For Crazy RumorAwfulAnnouncing

Oklahoma City will inevitably brick when they select the mascot for their as of now unnamed NBA franchise. I have no faith in the mascot moniker selection process. When I was in high school, the school's administration decided it was no longer ( never at any point ) p.c. for our mascot to be the Indians.
