ZBoyer Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I saw in the "Transactions" area of the newspaper this morning that the Atlanta Krunk, now in the Continental Basketball Association, have changed their name.You all know the story, by now. The team started out in the prestigious ABA as the Charlotte Krunk, but had to fold operations midway through the latest season. The owner moved the team to Atlanta and the team was reborn in the ever-changing CBA after a flurry of teams went to the NBA D-League.But to the present - they changed their name.To what, you might say?Well, I'll introduce you to...The Atlanta Krunk Wolverines....Yes, yes, it's true. Why? It seems as though the team is so minor league that they are not only playing at Atlanta's Morris Brown College (and said they are moving their operations there because "We felt that centralizing our team and business would make things easier than if we were spread all over the city," but theyr'e really just cheap), but they're also using the uniforms of the college's old basketball team, which has been out of operation when they cut athletic funding.The story makes sense, at least, but why not just take on the Wolverines moniker? It's at least a bit more professional-sounding.Oh well, as I said - the story just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Kid Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I know that the Wolverine part of this name has nothing to do with the Marvel comics character but I can't help myself:I'm the best at what I do and what I do is get Krunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmered Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Krunk Wolverines is STILL better than "Supersonics". You know what?I thought about that for a while and actually, no it isn't.Supersonics may be a dud name, but Krunk Wolverines is just bizarre.

BBM Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Am I wrong or is 'krunk' some kind of slang for 'really drunk'? So they're calling themselves the really drunk wolverines? I think whoever thought up that name was krunk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT44 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Krunk can mean:1. The type of hip-hop music2. The onomatopoeic discription of the noise a crane makes3. The combination of the words "crazy" and "drunk"4. The word Conan O'Brien used early in his show as a censor for the "seven dirty words"And somehow, they almost all make sense. Not #2 though.

Mac the Knife Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The story behind the change confirms my suspicions:The team owners bought the leftover basketball jerseys from the local college, who dropped the "Wolverines" basketball program a while back. The team will be wearing them in games, and thus the "Krunk Wolverines."Wow. How much lower can the ABA sink? A franchise that doesn't have sufficient capital to buy uniforms? Oye, vey...

Wow....that's pretty sad.and as for the origin of "krunk" it's the feeling of being both drunk (of alcohol) and high (normally on pot)Still it's terrible. Plainsman Parking Lot.
