Which city is home to an NBA team whose name honors the product once produced by its founder?

Milwaukee
Cleveland

The city of Detroit is home to the NBA team named the Pistons, a nod to the product manufactured by the franchise’s founder, Fred Zollner. During the team’s early days in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Zollner owned a successful company that produced pistons for cars, trucks, and military vehicles. When the team relocated to Detroit in 1957, a city synonymous with the automotive industry, Zollner recognized a unique opportunity to align his business with the team’s identity. Embracing this connection, he chose the name “Detroit Pistons.”
