Os Hawks competem na Associação Nacional de Basquetebol (NBA) como membro da Divisão Sudeste da Conferência Leste da liga. A equipa joga os seus jogos em casa na Philips Arena. Os Hawks atualmente possuem a segunda maior seca (atrás dos Sacramento Kings) de não ganhar um campeonato da NBA em 57 temporadas. O campeo- nato solitário da NBA da equipa, bem como as quatro aparições da final da NBA, ocorreram quando a equipa estava com a sede em St. Louis. Enquanto isso, eles pas- saram 48 anos sem avançar após a segunda rodada dos playoffs em qualquer formato, até finalmente romper em 2015. Grande parte do fracasso que experimentaram na pós-temporada pode ser ras- treada até sua fraca história no rascunho da NBA. Desde 1980, os Hawks elaboraram apenas quatro jogadores que foram escolhidos para jogar em um jogo All-Star da NBA (Doc Rivers, Kevin Willis, Al Horford e Jeff Teague). Dominique Wilkins foi selecionado pelo Utah Jazz e negociado com os Hawks alguns meses após o rascunho. Horford e Teague são os únicos Hawks All-Star a serem redigidos desde que Willis foi selecionado em 1984 e Horford também é o único vencedor que os Hawks selecionaram em sua seca de playoffs de nove anos para jogar em um jogo All-Star da NBA. 1 Boston Celtics O Boston Celtics, conhecidos também como Celtics, são uma equipa de basquete- bol filiada à National Basketball Association e situada na cidade de Boston, no estado estadunidense de Massachusetts. Fundado a 6 de junho de 1946, é uma das únicas equi- pas que se mantém desde que foi criada. É propriedade da Boston Basketball Partners LCC e joga os seus jogos em casa no TD Banknorth Garden, dividindo o ginásio com o Boston Bruins, da National Hockey League. É conhecido mundialmente por obter 17 tí- tulos da NBA, o que o deixa como o maior vencedor da história da liga. Apontada como uma das melhores equipas de bas- quetebol de todos os tempos, dominou de 1957 a 1969, quando conquistou 11 de 13 campeonatos (perdendo apenas em 1958 e 1967, para o atual Atlanta Hawks e para o Philadelphia 76ers, respectivamente), com destaque para o período de 1959-1966, quando foi campeã oito ve- zes consecutivas, escrita que permanece até os dias de hoje como a maior sequência de títulos da história do esporte dentro dos Estados Uni- dos. No Hall da Fama do Basquetebol, jogadores como Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Bob Cousy, Larry Bird e o treinador Red Auerbach fizeram história nos Celtics. Suas conquis- tas agrupadas somam um recorde de 795 vitórias e 397 derrotas na temporada regular, além de 17 títulos. Foi um sucesso nos anos 80 com o famoso "Big Three" composto por Larry Bird, Kevin McHale e Robert Parish, parceria que rendeu três campeonatos. Na temporada 2007-08, após 22 anos sem conquistar a NBA, foram contratados Ray Allen e Kevin Garnett com o objetivo de resgatar a história da equipa. A dupla se juntou com o ala Paul Pierce, formando o novo "Big Three". O investimento foi um su- cesso, resultando em 66-16 na Temporada Regular e o título sobre o Los Angeles Lakers na grande final. Dois anos mais tarde, chegou a mais uma decisão após o título da Con- ferência Leste diante dos Orlando Magic. Possui uma superioridade em finais (9-3) con- tra o seu maior rival, os Los Angeles Lakers. 2 Brooklyn Nets O Brooklyn Nets é uma equipa de basquetebol da National Basketball Association situado em Brooklyn, Nova Iorque. A equipa foi fundada em 1967, um dos membros fundadores da American Basketball Association. Já foi conhecido como New Jersey Ame- ricans (1967-1968), New York Nets (1968-1977) e New Jersey Nets (1978-2011). As cores do uniforme são preto e branco. O time nunca ganhou um campeonato da NBA, mas foi vice duas vezes (2001–02 e 2002–03). A equipa foi uma das fundadoras da American Basketball Association em 1967, com o nome New York Americans, mas a pressão do time da cidade que jogava na NBA, o New York Knicks, fez o dono Arthur J. Brown relocar para Teaneck, Nova Jérsei com o nome New Jer- sey Americans. Jogaram uma temporada, mas não se classificaram. Em seguida, mudaram-se para a Long Island Arena em Commack, Nova Iorque, rebatizado New York Nets tanto por ser "rede" (parte da cesta de basquete) como por rimar com New York Jets e New York Mets, dois times do estado em futebol americano e beisebol, respetivamente. Após uma primeira temporada fraca - em que Brown ven- deu o time para o empresário têxtil Roy Boe - Nets foram bicampeões da ABA antes da liga fechar em 1977. A melhor fase dos Nets foi entre 2001 e 2004, quando liderados por Jason Kidd chegaram a duas finais consecutivas da NBA (perdendo em 2002 para o Los Angeles La- kers e 2003 para o San Antonio Spurs). Em 2004 o time foi vendido para Bruce Ratner - com o rapper Jay-Z sendo um dos sócios - que anunciou planos para mudar o time para Nova York. 3 Charlotte Hornets Charlotte Hornets é um equipa de basquete da National Basketball Association localizado em Charlotte, Carolina do Norte. A primeira encarnação da equipa foi fundada em 1988 pelo empresário George Shinn, permanecendo na cidade por catorze anos an- tes de se mudar em 2002 para Nova Orleans. A atual foi criada em 2003 com o nome Charlotte Bobcats, de propriedade de um grupo com o sócio ma- joritário sendo o empresário Robert Johnson, fundador -da Black Entertainment Television. Em 2010, a lenda do basquete Michael Jordan, já um sócio da equipa desde 2006, se tornou proprietário único da equipa, que recuperou o nome Hornets em 2014 após a pri- meira encarnação ter sido rebatizada em 2013 como New Orleans Pelicans. No release de lançamento, o time declarava que a NBA permitiu à equipa compartilhar as antigas estatísticas do Hornets original. As cores do uniforme são azul, preto e roxo. 4 Chicago Bulls Chicago Bulls é uma equipa de basquete profissional americana com sede em Chi- cago, Illinois. Os Bulls competem na National Basketball Association (NBA) como mem- bro da Divisão Central da Conferência Leste da liga. A equipa foi fundada em 16 de ja- neiro de 1966. A equipa joga seus jogos em casa no United Center, uma arena compar- tilhada com os Chicago Blackhawks da National Hockey League (NHL). Os Bulls viram seu maior sucesso du- rante a década de 1990, quando eram res- ponsáveis pela popularização da NBA em todo o mundo. Eles são conhecidos por ter uma das maiores dinastias da NBA, con- quistando seis campeonatos da NBA entre 1991 e 1998 com duas três turmas. Os seis times do campeonato foram liderados pelo Hall of Fame Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen e o treinador Phil Jackson. Os Bulls são a única equipa da NBA que ganharam vários campeonatos e nunca perderam a série NBA Finals em sua história. Os Bulls ganharam 72 jogos durante a temporada da NBA de 1995-96, estabele- cendo um recorde da NBA que ficou até os Golden State Warriors ganharam 73 jogos durante a temporada 2015-16 da NBA. Os Bulls foram a primeira equipa da história da NBA a ganhar 70 jogos ou mais em uma única temporada, e a única equipa da NBA a fazê-lo até os 2015-16 Warriors. Muitos especialistas e analistas

  • Are NBA Fans Becoming Indifferent to Race? Evidence from the 1990S
    10.1177/1527002503262641Burdekin et al. / NBA FANS INDIFFERENTJOURNAL OF SPOR TO RATSCE? ECONOMICS / May 2005 ARTICLE Are NBA Fans Becoming Indifferent to Race? Evidence From the 1990s RICHARD C. K. BURDEKIN Claremont McKenna College RICHARD T. HOSSFELD Duke University School of Law JANET KIHOLM SMITH Claremont McKenna College Previous work found the racial composition of NBA teams to be positively correlated with the racial composition of their metropolitan markets in the 1980s. We find continued evi- dence of this relationship during the 1990s, with accompanying revenue gains from the inclusion of White players on teams located in whiter areas. And, as the number of White players declined significantly throughout the decade, the revenue product of a White player actually increased on the margin. The tendency for top-performing White players in the NBA to locate in cities with larger White populations also is consistent with their higher marginal value in such locations. Keywords: customer discrimination; race; sports; National Basketball Association Applied to professional sports, Becker’s (1971) concept of racial discrimination by customers is embodied by fan preference for watching players of their own race. The customer-discrimination hypothesis implies that teams lose revenue and prof- its when they adopt color-neutral hiring practices. Accordingly, unlike discrimina- tion by employers and by fellow workers, discrimination by customers is unlikely to disappear even in the long run (Nardinelli & Simon, 1990). Although discrimina- tion by customers generally cannot be disentangled from other influences on hiring AUTHORS’NOTE: The authors thank Heather Antecol, David Berri, Bill Brown, Eric Helland, Harold Mulherin, Mark Partridge, Jennifer Ward-Batts, Marc Weidenmier,Richard Smith, Tom Willett, and two anonymous referees for helpful discussion and comments.
