Probably because the brand OKC Thunder makes people think of a contending team with MVP candidates on it, and the brand New Orleans Pelicans makes people think "I can't believe they named a team Pelicans smh". Seriously, I still see it multiple times a day come across my Pelicans twitter search. ESPN.com cares about clicks, and I'm sure they have a mountain of data confirming the bias they show.

All we can do is prove them wrong and make them get used to it.
