The Pelicans were established as the New Orleans Hornets in the 2002–03 season when then-owner of the Charlotte Hornets, George Shinn, relocated the franchise to New Orleans.
The franchise had to be shifted to Oklahoma City temporarily in 2005 owing to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They spent two seasons there officially known as the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. It was during their time there when a certain Chris Paul joined the franchise.
In 2012, New Orleans Hornets changed to New Orleans Pelicans after a takeover. It was also the season where Anthony Davis was drafted into the squad.
