Discrim 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... funny thing about that, this :censored:'s happening in the CBA you can take the Krunk outta the ABA, but you can't take the ABA outta the Krunk A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakfu Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I don't think that's what krunk means, I always thought it was a corrupted past tense of crank, after you crank something up, it is now krunk up, or just krunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 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. Yes, it is. Krunk Wolverines is so stupid it's funny, and it's expected of a (former) ABA team.Supersonics, that's an NBA team. That's a MAJOR league, high-price, professional Basketball team.If these were the same level, I'd agree. But the fact that the "Supersonics" are in the NBA just trumps anything the ABA (or CBA) could come up with. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me.

There's no defending the Supersonics name, however, at least it's from Seattle, WA, home of Boeing. I can at least see how they came up with it.Tell me about the Krunk Wolverines that live in Atlanta.A Krunk doesn't even exist. What is a Krunk?And then, how does it relate to the Wolverine?It's bizarre.Supersonics is dumb.Being dumb is better than being bizarre.

paynomind Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I may have to approach them about selling merchandise for them... i think with a horrible name like that, merch would fly off the shelves.

hecticbro Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 The rappers in Atlanta coined the "krunk" term, I believe (even if the music may have came from Memphis). When you're krunk, you're really excited and jumping up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfurdell Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 "SuperSonics" rhymes with "chronic", a trait famously exploited by one Mr. Ice Cube.So, you know, that's much more krunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coacher42 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 A buddy I work with was asking if the CBA was still in existence, so we pulled up the CBA website. Has anyone seen the Atlanta Krunk lately?!! Unbelievable! They wear reversibles in games on the road and it looks like they wear plain white at home with no numbers and "ATLANTA" across the chest. I could do better (not to mention the tons of talented folks on this forum) for a city league team.The website is here: http://www.atlantakrunk.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Note the giant Steve & Barry's "Starbury" logo front and center, along with the lack of number. Gentlemen, you're wearing practice jerseys to an actual game. And judging from the standings, it's accurately reflected in your caliber of play.

I doubt they still do this, but back then, teams had mini scoreboards on the end lines on the floor displaying points scored in the quarter. It's a little goofy, but I can see the reasoning - reward dominant performances more than squeakers, and give players and coaches incentive not to go into "garbage time" if they're carrying a big lead late.Oh, for the days of the Chicago Rockers, Rockford Lightning, Quad Cities Thunder, and Hartford Hellcats...
