Bakersfield Jam

From Hoopedia

The Bakersfield Jam are an expansion franchise of the National Basketball Association Development League that began play in 2006-07. They play their home games at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, California, United States.

Gerry McNamara, former Syracuse University standout, joined the team on December 12, 2006.

There was recently a contest where the fans could decide on a new name for the team. The choices were to rename the team Desperados, Roughnecks, Oilers, or keep the name Jam. On Thursday, May 17, the team announced that the team will remain the Bakersfield Jam, as that name won the poll in a landslide vote.
