For the past few years, NBA and NFL teams have used the day the schedule releases a chance to make a fun, creative video to announce their schedules.
Thursday’s NBA schedule release was no different, as the Brooklyn Nets took a page from the Tennessee Titans’ playbook and asked people at Coney Island to name NBA teams based solely on their logos, yielding hilarious results.
Can confirm these are all real logos 😭 (s/o the @Titans for the inspo) pic.twitter.com/Z4RHwPhKVz

Starting with, “That looks like where an axe murderer is keeping all the stuff in the closet” for the Denver Nuggets logo and continuing to get even funnier, it’s easy to see why these sorts of videos are so popular and successful when teams put them out.
Naturally, there were plenty of reactions online to some of the choices, and video itself.
David Ubben of The Athletic is a huge fan of the concept, tweeting, “I give you my solemn promise I will click on the next 11 of these videos and watch them in their entirety before I tire of this bit.”

Both the Sickos Committee and the official LSU Tigers account enjoyed one fan’s response, who said the Lakers’ logo was actually LSU’s.
Love the new LSU logo. https://t.co/QPJS8To97r pic.twitter.com/oMrthG1kEc

The Indiana Pacers logo being referred to as “a police department” also had people laughing.

However, the Spurs logo being referred to as “the exploding field goal” may have taken the cake for the funniest one here.
Some guy calling the Spurs the Exploding FGs made me almost spit out my damn water 😂😂😂 https://t.co/fvPypkV3kT pic.twitter.com/fzEVh0so9C
