 The Trail Blazers originally played their home games in the Memorial Coliseum, before moving to the Rose Garden in 1995.
 The franchise entered the league in 1970, and Portland has been its only home city.
 The franchise has enjoyed a strong following; from 1977 through 1995, the team sold out 814 consecutive home games, the longest such streak in American major professional sports.
 The Trail Blazers are the only team in the major professional North American sports leagues located in the state of Oregon.
 The Trail Blazers are also currently the only NBA team based in the binational Pacific Northwest, after the Vancouver Grizzlies relocated to Memphis and became the Memphis Grizzlies in 2001, and the Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City and became the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008. 1997–98 New York Knicks season
The 1997–98 NBA season was the 52nd season for the New York Knicks in the National Basketball Association.
 During the offseason, the Knicks acquired Chris Mills from the Boston Celtics and Chris Dudley from the Portland Trail Blazers.
 At midseason, they traded Herb Williams to the Philadelphia 76ers for Terry Cummings.
 In the regular season, the Knicks had a 43–39 record, which placed them in a tie for second place in the Atlantic Division.
 Despite their lowest winning percentage since the 1990–91 season, the team qualified for the NBA Playoffs as the #7 seed.

The 2015–16 Philadelphia 76ers season was the 77th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 It was also the second straight season that Joel Embiid, their third pick in the 2014 NBA draft, would not suit up for the 76ers due to a leg injury.
 Philadelphia broke the record for the longest losing streak in American professional sports history with 27 straight losses over this season and last season with a 114–116 loss to the Houston Rockets.
 The losing streak would reach to 28 games (with the 18 straight losses tying the record for longest opening season losing streak with the 2009–10 New Jersey Nets) before getting their first victory at home against the Los Angeles Lakers, which was also Kobe Bryant's last game against the 76ers in Philadelphia.
 Philadelphia would also hire former Phoenix Suns owner, coach, general manager, and four-time NBA Executive of the Year winner Jerry Colangelo on December 7, 2015 as their Chairman of Basketball Operations.
 Eleven days later, former Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni would join the team as an associate head coach.
 Near the end of the season, general manager Sam Hinkie would announce his resignation from his position, being replaced by Jerry's son Bryan Colangelo before the end of the season.
 Jerry would also announce his personal demotion from his original position afterwards.
 They finished just one game shy of tying the NBA record for most losses in a season set by themselves during their 1972–73 season when they went 9–73.
 However, it would be the season where Sam Hinkie's goal of "The Process" came into full fruition since they'd later earn the #1 selection in the 2016 NBA draft. List of Philadelphia 76ers head coaches

 If a player left college early, he would not be eligible for selection until his college class graduated.
 Before the draft, 11 college underclassmen were declared eligible for selection under the "hardship" rule.
 These players had applied and gave evidence of financial hardship to the league, which granted them the right to start earning their living by starting their professional careers earlier.
 The draft consisted of 20 rounds comprising the selection of 211 players.
