The 1971–72 NBA season was the 26th season of the National Basketball Association. The season ended with the Los Angeles Lakers winning the NBA Championship, beating the New York Knicks 4 games to 1 in the NBA Finals. As the 25th anniversary of the founding of the modern NBA, the league unveiled a new logo, inspired by the logo of Major League Baseball, to commemorate the occasion. It features the white silhouette of a basketball player dribbling, framed by red and blue. Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers was used as the model for the logo. Coincidentally, Jerry West would win the only NBA Championship of his career during the season. ==Notable occurrences== * The San Diego Rockets relocated to Houston, Texas and became the Houston Rockets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NBA.com history )〕 * The San Francisco Warriors were renamed the Golden State Warriors and the team moved across the San Francisco Bay to Oakland.〔 * The 1972 NBA All-Star Game was played at the Forum in Inglewood, California, with the West beating the East 112-110.
