How much would that affect your sports team? If they did this, the NBA would change a bit. I think it would go:
The East
Atlantic - Knicks, Nets, Sixers, Celtics, and WIZARDS (as DC is closer to Philly, NYC, and Boston than Toronto)
Southeast - Hornets, Hawks, Magic, Heat, and GRIZZLIES
Central - Cavs, Pistons, Pacers, Bulls, and RAPTORS
The West
Northwest - Wolves, Jazz, Nuggets, Thunder, and BUCKS
Southwest - Pelicans, Rockets, Mavs, Spurs, and SUNS
Pacific - Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Kings, and BLAZERS
That's just an example of what the geographically correct NBA would look like. Would that change your team?

The NFL would look a little different, too...
AFC
North - Steelers, Browns, Bengals, and COLTS
East - NY Jets, Bills, Pats, and RAVENS
South - Titans, Jags, Texans, and DOLPHINS
West - Would stay the same: Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs, and Chargers
NFC
North - Wouldn't change: Vikings, Bears, Packers, and Lions
East - Eagles, Redskins, NY Giants, and PANTHERS
South - Saints, Falcons, Bucs, and RAMS
West - Niners, Seahawks, Cardinals, and COWBOYS (this division would be the ? ) -
Afc south would still be ?
-
Wouldn't it make more sense for the Cowboys to be in the south and the Rams remain in the west?

Agree but the Rams should relocate back to L.A. -
Nothing will change, Bears still suck ass and the Cavs, Bulls and Pacers will be battling for the top spot like it is now
@CP203 ? off in advance for being a Packer fan -

On a map, Dallas is more western than St. Louis. Travel wise, it would make more sense, too. -
Celtics would of won 2 more championships

I have to make a correction based on this: this would affect the AFC, too. The new divisions would be:
AFC West - Broncos, Raiders, Chargers, and TEXANS
AFC South - Jags, Titans, CHIEFS, and DOLPHINS -
The Bucs, Dolphins, and Jaguars are all in Florida so they would in the same division along with the Falcons.

But Texas is in the South. Missouri is not. That really don't mean ? tho. Just an observation.JoHn_DougH81G wrote: »

Missouri was still considered a "southern state" in the old days.
