CodeG Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 As I fan of every sport except basketball, I decided to give basketball a shot. I know all the teams but I can't choose a team to follow. So I'm asking you, who should I follow and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Cheer for a team that is local to a team that you already cheer for. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 These threads always lead to a bunch of biased answers, so here's what I suggest: If locale doesn't matter to you, then just watch a good mix of teams. Eventually, one will stand out to you from the others. I know it's kind of generic advice, but it really is the best method. You can't force fandom of a team.

DelayedPenalty Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Cheer for whoever wins the championship the year before. I believe they call this "the bandwagon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 No one gave him an actual team yet? Then I am obligated to say...Chicago Bulls.Get in on the ground floor and surrender yourself to Fred Hoiberg and you'll be a better fan than me right now.But still... go Bulls! /SeeRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Lakers. You can say you started liking them when they were not even a playoff team. And history shows they'll soon be a perennial contender.

CodeG Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 The Providence Steamrollers. Lemme tell ya, we're gonna be talking about Howie Shannon for a long time to come!!!That Shannon dude is a #BEAST. At the moment the teams that stand out to me are the Trail Blazers, Rockets, Thunder, Rapter, Hornets, and Hawks (:!edit! Bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I might get a lot of criticism for this, but I'd say none... Most the guys in NBA are more all about LOOK AT ME! I'M THE BEST!!! And it's not really a team effort, one good player on a team can win the game, they don't even need anyone else...

At the moment the teams that stand out to me are the Trail Blazers, Rockets, Thunder, Rapter, Hornets, and HawksI'd say add the Bucks to that list. Obviously as a homer, but as a Basketball fan in general, and a waning NBA fan, this is the most excited I've been for an NBA team in a long time! There is a serious energy around the team, and the pieces are falling into place. Plus who wouldn't like a team with the "Greek Freak" on it?! Plus MCW3, Jabari, and the beast in the east Greg Monroe! #OwnTheFuture. Plus aesthetic wise can't go wrong there either! Just my 2 Lincolns. You picked a good few teams there too! If I wasn't a Bucks fan, it would bee Buzz City for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittSmith_95 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Taking a good look at where your other teams are located and such, I'd say you're best off cheering generically. Just enjoy the game for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yeah, that's the "educated" way to be an NBA fan. True NBA fans don't let regional rivalries get in the way of worshiping LeBron James. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yeah, that's the "educated" way to be an NBA fan. True NBA fans don't let regional rivalries get in the way of worshiping LeBron James.You're about two years behind. LeBron worship began and ended in his Miami years; Golden State is the new team of choice. Them or the Bucks.Also, I don't understand this snark. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
