San Antonio Silver Stars
Remember when San Antonio actually had two pro basketball franchises? For 15 seasons, hoops fans were able to enjoy both the NBA's Spurs and the WNBA's Silver Stars — later just the Stars. That is, until Spurs Sports & Entertainment, the Stars’ parent company, sold the team in 2019 to MGM Resorts, which relocated it to Las Vegas. If there's any consolation, it's that Stars player Becky Hammon ended up joining the Spurs' coaching staff, becoming the first female full-time assistant coach in NBA history.
