The New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets are a professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They play in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team temporarily relocated to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons due to damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. They also temporarily adopted the moniker "New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets" although originally deciding to use "New Orleans Hornets - Oklahoma City" and the final decision came from Paul Mott - who later began to negotiate a sale of the Hornets to OKC powerplayers behind George Shinn's back (Project Beekeeper). Contrary to popular belief, the name change was not to thank Oklahoma City for their support during this difficult time for the greater New Orleans area because the change happened before a single game was played. A special thank-you was accomplished through a single game performance in which the Hornets wore uniforms with Oklahoma City across the chest (where New Orleans should have been before Paul Mott removed all references to New Orleans before the season started) for the Ford Center finale.
