Los Angeles Lakers

Band Name: Bye Bye Bryant

Genre: Bar Band

This year, the Los Angeles Lakers are all about the Kobe Bryant going away party, when it could at least be sort of about developing the plethora of young talent. LA will worry about that later, though. Enjoy Kobe while you can.

Los Angeles Clippers

Band Name: Lob City

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rock Blend

Keeping it simple and just sticking with the nickname that brought the Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan led Clippers to NBA stardom.

Next: Grizzlies and Heat
