  1. MLB:  NY Yankees - was born in NJ, family lived in the Bronx and surrounding areas in late 70's-80's. My first game was technically while still in my mom's stomach late during the 1982 season vs Cleveland. Spent early years going to games with my Pops until we moved to FL in '87.
    NBA: Orlando Magic - Grew up attending games with my Pops who was a season ticket holder from 1989-2004 (he didn't renew because of GM incompetence/losing T-Mac). I've been an on/off again  season ticket holder since 2007.
    NFL: Jacksonville Jaguars - Moved briefly to JAX for a few years in '95, the same year the Jags started playing. My step-dad was the Chief Photographer for the city, so from 1995 to 1998 I got to "assist" him on the field for all home games & a few road games (1996 - Buffalo, Denver & Foxboro).  I basically just held his camera bag and followed him around while watching the games. Best years! 
    NHL: Tampa Bay Lightning - I've lived most of my life in central FL. Due to proximity the Lightning became my defacto team. I go to a handful of games a year, been hooked on Lightning hockey (and hockey in general) for close to 20 years now.
    MLS: Orlando City Lions - hometown team, supporter since their inception. 
    EPL: Tottenham Hotspur - Started getting seriously into pro soccer/football around the time Orlando City debuted in the USL (2011). Me and a few friends that had season tickets to Orlando City decided we needed a EPL team to root for as well. We didn't want to cheer for one of the powerhouse teams (ManU, Chelsea, Man City, etc.) cause it felt like joining a bandwagon, so we went with Tottenham after being persuaded by one of our friends who is Welsh and a fan of Garreth Bale. 
    College: UCF Knights - alma mater.

    The NBA 2K Twitter account shared a screen grab of Westbrook in a Lakers jersey with the diamond Nike swoosh and it doesn’t have a sponsor (though they’ve patched sponsors in/out in the past)

     

     


    They typically ad those in via a patch (no pun intended) in the game, when its official.

  3. This may be posted on page 24 or something (its been awhile since I've been on this thread). But anyways A.I. last hurrah with the Sixers.

    This one might be controversial. Horace Grant won 3 titles with the Bulls in 7 seasons, but statistically speaking, he had his most productive season(s) in his 6 seasons with the Orlando Magic. So being completely biased with this one, the Orlando Magic is just as right being the "right team" as the Bulls (to hell with the Lakers). If it ain't the pinstripes, it ain't right.

    This is the best the Sixers have looked ever, and this is the best black jersey in league history:

    I respectfully disagree. These are the best black jerseys in NBA history (although not an Unpopular Opinion)...

  5. Horace Grant - Magic

    This looks completly normal to me. Here in Orlando during Grant's tenure with the team (especially during our '95 Finals run) the motto, "Its Gotta be the Goggles", was widespread througout the city on billboards and t-shirts. Horace was definitely a fan favorite. I think Horace Grant with both the Chicago Bulls ('87-'94) and Orlando Magic ('94-'99 & '01-'02) are the "right" uniforms.

    This is the jersey that looks "wrong" for Horace...
