I have chosen Washington. Though I don't know too much about NBA. Just selected it because it is beautiful state.
Hate to break it to you but the Washington team is located in Washington D.C not in Washington state but a good pick regardless.

Ouch! I thought I knew that Washington DC is called DC but here they named it without DC! How? I don't understand.
reply
It's actually "Washington, DC," with DC being the District of Columbia, so it's like "San Antonio, Texas," where Texas is the state. So no team lists both a city and a state in their names.

Ahh! Ok. Now I get it. I'm not an American but I think the whole world is my place. So, I love to explore

Come to think of it, I don't think any NBA franchise (with the exception of the Warriors) is named after a state, right? They're all named after the city if I'm not mistaken.
NHL has several teams named after the state. I believed they are Panthers, Avalanche, Devils, Hurricanes, and Wild. Also the Coyotes went from Phoenix Coyotes to Arizona Coyotes several years ago.
Edit: I just realize the Timberwolves are also named after the state.

If you scroll up to look at the list of poll options, you'll see another example. :-)

Ah that's right, Jazz. I was just in Utah last Spring visiting its beautiful national parks. Can't believe I missed that one.

Pacers, TWolves, Jazz Warriors?

Better explanation than I would have given.
