Best Answer

i think its the Boston Celtics

---- The oldest pro basketball franchise is the Philadelphia 76ers. They began in 1939 as the Syracuse Nationals, seven years before the Celtics. The Nationals joined the NBA in 1949, after spending ten years in the Basketball Association of America. The franchise moved to Philadelphia in 1963 and became the 76ers.

* While this is true, it should be noted that during WWII, the franchise was inactive from 1942-1945 (see Wikipedia entry for Philadelphia 76ers). The longest continually operating franchise is therefore the Detroit Pistions, which began operation in 1941 as the Ft. Wayne Zollner Pistons in the old NBL (National Basketball League) which merged with the BAA (Basketball Association of America) to form today's NBA.

The Oldest team in the NBA are the New York Knicks. Who played the first game in the NBA with Toronto also the oldest. At that time they were called the New York Knickerbockers and the Toronto Huskies. New York are the only ones that have kept their franchise since.

Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Golden State Warriors are the oldest teams in the NBA. All three teams were part of the original 11 teams in the 1946-47 season. Golden State Warriors were Philadelphia Warriors from 1946-1962 and San Francisco Warriors from 1962-1971. The other original teams folded.
