The 'Original city and name for each NBA franchise' quiz

The NBA season tips off this Tuesday, with the New York “Villanova Wildcat” Knicks heading to Boston to take on Jason Tatum and the defending champion Celtics, while Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves clash with King James and the Los Angeles Lakers. But the 30-team Association as we know it today hasn’t always looked the way it does now. Over the course of history irrelevant teams have faded into oblivion, iconic franchises have said emotional goodbyes to rabid franchises, and some teams have remained where and who they are since their beginning. 

With that being said, can you name the original name and city of every NBA franchise in the league today? Both team location and name are required for each answer.

Good luck!
