The Yahoo! Hoops Blog is doing a faux-poll for the Oklahoma City NBA team’s nickname, complete with animated photo accompaniment. This is ironic because Clay Bennett seems to only have one face, and is the opposite of animated.
Basketball.org sources have said it’s the Barons, which fittingly stems from the French. Other outlets have heard the same, and have even created an OKC uniform for Kevin Durant. Someone just punched my pride in the throat.
If I had a vote, and since the NBA probably wouldn’t print a series of #’s, @’s or *’s followed by a “!” on a jersey, I’d go with the Soul Vacuums… you know, if it were an option.

I read similar article also named a City Nickname | Basketball.org, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
