The Keizer “Keyser Sözes.” (Or just the Keizer”Sözes”) Keizer is a suburb of Salem, Oregon which is basically just a shopping center. Keizer boasts the only In-N-Out in Oregon and there is a constant line of cars about a mile long which you can see from the I-5 as you pass. So I guess the Keizer “In-N-Outs” could be an alternative- but it also has a Kaiser Permanente so the Keizer “Kaiser permanentes” would also work. Regardless of the name Keyser Söze would have to be the mascot.

Cincinnati Lizards (Cincinnati is overrun with an invasive species, the Lazarus lizard). Alt: Cincinnati Lazz

The Randolph Lundgrens from Randolph, Vermont. The logo is a handsome blond man holding a science degree.
William Grubb
The Augusta James Browns. The logo is an emoji style cartoon of his likeness.

The bar for songs has been set and it is high

The Hollywood Handbooks, the Arlington Amazonians, the Seattle Marios

Carl doing kevin durant is one of the funniest bits of all time
Snoogens
I think he got fired from the Locked on 76ers podcast

Keith Pompey appears to still be working for the Inquirer. Anybody know where Hayes got that he was fired?

This is such a great, specific burn. I would also like to pitch the Kansas City Missourians.

I told everyone here in the capital city that we were getting Lincoln Lawyer shirts. They’re going to be pissed if I don’t come through.
Tim Root
We lived in a Minneapolis suburb called Fridley and when my son was born we called him The Fridley Kidley. For secret NBA I think “The Fridley Kids” is great and the logo would be a silhouette of 3 kids hooping.

The Michigan J Frogs
Nick Garfield
In honor of Richmond, Virginia’s legendary tobacco industry: The Virginia Slims. Logo is a basketball ripping a cig. The mascot is like a 12 foot tall, extremely skinny cigarette and it lights the top of itself on fire when we win.
Savannah Shea
Party Man #128 at 50:15. I've had to find it so many times. Like Keith, I will never forget.
Ian Garwood
The Buffalo Carcasses

The Naples Nurples and our logo will be the pic of Jokic as a kid with his Nurples photoshopped to be purple.

What ep was the original Pompey clip in? Got to archive the side-by-side with Savannah's masterpiece

The Jackson Cage and the mascot is Bruce Springsteen.
Aidan Brawn
The Jackson Polyps (Not my/our hometown, but in my defense there is a MI city called Jackson that is smack between Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo🤷🏼♀️)
Stephen Whipple
The Salt Lake City Stinky Shrimps. The Great Salt Lake is very stinky and full of teeny brine shrimps. Growing up in Salt Lake, the stinky shrimps impacted my life way more than jazz music did.
Conor Woody
Just realized how much this overlaps with the Baltimore Pinchy Crabs. I assume some will see the similarities as a negative. I'd like to preemptively respond to that criticism with a quote from one Mr. Samuel Clemens: History doesn't repeat itself—but it often rhymes
Mike Smith
The Daytona Beach Fast Racecars

Mmm watcha say absolutely killed me

Need to do the Las Vegas Doug Billingses. I am not from las Vegas nor have i ever been there but instead it is for my favorite character from the hangover
Alexander Nichols
Holy fucking shit that song was so fucking good
Sammyfein
How about a team for France, maybe the French Stewarts?
Jorden Edmondstone
The Edmonton Wontons. Now, Edmonton isn't exactly known for its Chinese cuisine or populace BUT it does have a rich Ukrainian heritage. What's a popular Ukrainian dish? Perogies. What are perogies Eastern European analogues to? Wontons. They're basically wontons, just with potatoes instead of pork and shreemps. It's a long road but I also think that it would hopefully have the effect of increasing the amount of places I can get good wontons in Edmonton in order to live up to the name. Finally, the pronunciation of Edmonton (Ed-mun-tun) would have to be gently massaged into Ed-mawn-tawn in order for the name really hit that sweet spot.
Aidan Brawn
Ann Arbor Barbers Ann Arbor Lumberjacks (idk...tree adjacent). Ann Arbor is the home of Hash Bash every year, a big stoner gathering/festival type thing. There's gotta be something there, (cheeba hawks?). Although I'm not sure how badly people would want a shirt about that, ha. The Kalamazoo Gals, from the Glenn Miller Orchestra song "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" (not sure if it's a well known song in general or just in the 'zoo). Kalamazoo is a bigger city than neighboring Battle Creek population-wise! The Kalamazoo Ding-Dongs or Dingalings. Bell's Brewery is from here but the Kalamazoo Bells seems to be encroaching on trademark, plus I, personally, would much rather wear a shirt that says ding dong on it.
Blake
the ann arbor ists and the logo is a guy with a chainsaw

👏 - though I might just go with the Winston-Salem Salems or the Winston-Salem Winstons or the Winstons & Salems where you have two mascot cigarettes. Can see them doing some good cop, bad cop stuff with fan interactions. (Not from there but my uncle owned a convenience store there for a long time.)
Ethan Cline
Winston-Salem is a town that made most of its money from the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. A potential basketball team for the city could be called the Winston-Salem Spittoons. The mascot is named "Dippy," and it is a brown wad of chewing tobacco with big cartoon eyes.
Angela Ridolfi
Though I live in the OC, I am from Davenport, IA. Hayes will want to wear this shirt for obvious reasons. Davenport is a part of a bigger area called the Quad Cities. When I was growing up, there was a baseball team called the Swing of the Quad Cities their mascot was in fact a baseball bat, which is pretty straightforward. I propose we bring this back for the flagrant ones. The Davenport Swingers, but this time the mascot is a swing.
RuGo
And before you get mad at me yes I am from Minneapolis

The Minneapolis Police
Bennie Waters
I'm in Indianapolis, but I'm going to throw out the South Benders, from South Bend, Indiana. Mascot is Bender from Futurama
Minty
The Kansas City Fans Skip the abstraction and even the players and simply celebrate and congratulate ourselves
Grace Spain
The Bar Harbor Bar Stools, and the logo is just the Barstool logo. Our SEO would be terrible but we'd probably get some accidental fans.
Deena
I have three "hometowns" so I have three pitches: The Kanye Wests Based out of the village of Kanye, Botswana, their mascot is Kanye West dressed like he was at the 2021 Met Ball. The Johannesburg Jeans Representing the financial capital of the African continent… a nice pair of relaxed-fit denims, stonewashed for your pleasure. The Vancouver Vegetables Vancouver, Canada finally gets its NBA team back - and this time their mascot is a vegetable. Which kind of vegetable? One of those at a farmer’s market where you’re like “what is this? Maybe I’ll put it in a salad or roast it” and then it turns out it doesn’t really matter how you prepare it, it just tastes like a potato-y radish. That’s the mascot.
Hayley Leier
The Regina Goose Honks (Regina = small city in Canada. Goose honks = we are seasonally plagued by loud demon geese). Could also be nicknamed the Regina Goose Hunks if there’s hotties on the team 🤷♀️

Ann Arbor Activists. The Peace Corps was founded here and it's just a very liberal college town. We Woke AF

Also, as a form of psychological warfare, team media heavily features the music of R.E.M. and the B-52s.
Horselover Fat
Athens (Ohio) Socrates. The mascot is a guy with a toga and a beard and they spend the whole game in Twitter arguments with fans of the opposing team. If the team wins they get drunk and have sex with one of the players.
Eric McKay
Good Lord, that song is an all-timer. Wow. Amazing work.
Conor Woody
Here is a pitch for my hometown: The Little Rock Lobsters
Danny Wardwell
Chico Burning Couches. Already got the graphic on stand by. We burn couches here
Steven Shaw (AKA Shubben Steen)
I nominate the Newark Airports
The Flagrant Ones
As you all have surely heard by now on this week's episode, the guys are looking for new additions to the Secret NBA. Post your city and mascot ideas below and we'll go over some in an upcoming episode. And maybe... just maybe one will end up on a cool shirt Hayes can wear.
