    Carter was president when I was a toddler, so relatively speaking, yes.

    Baltimore. Was an original NBA franchise in the '40s. Team folded, brought back again, moved to DC.

    Relatively speaking, there are national parks that are young compared to me.

    Another thing I didn't realize ... the NBA absorbed the old BAA history but treated teams from the NBL as expansion teams and their records don't count. So, you are technically correct.

    Back in the day, even before my day, nobody gave a shit about records. That's why AAFC records aren't in the NFL records but AFL records are.

    Technically-speaking, Buffalo did lose two franchises. The Tri-City Blackhawks, who are now the Atlanta Hawks, were in Buffalo for a little longer than a month when they played in the National Basketball League (which merged with the Basketball Association of America to form the NBA), before moving to the Midwest and eventually joined the NBA.

    They also played in Milwaukee and St. Louis before moving to Atlanta.

    Tri-Cities Blackhawks (1946-1951)

    Chicago also lost the Chicago Stags in 1950 (folded) and the Packers, who moved to Baltimore and became the Bullets before becoming today's Washington Wizards.

    Baltimore also lost two versions of the Bullets, once in the 50s (folded) and the other to Washington.

    St.Louis saw one team fold, and lost the Hawks to Atlanta.

    Indianapolis saw two early teams fold.

    If your town loses a franchise called Tri-Cities, it obviously should only be credited with 1/3 of a loss.

    I remember having an NBA history book from the 70s that had each year's standings.

    It was strange to see this huge league in the late 40s after the merger with most of the other years having 8 or 9 teams at most.

    Even more fun, the armory in Sheboygan is still standing, although it needs preservation. Looks like a cool place.
