Is there anything worse than bandwagoners?

Anybody who complains about any fans -- who are the people who pay the money that makes the whole show possible -- is a seriously misguided fool.

shut up got

Great post! When I see a middle aged geek and his goofy kid at the arena in a Curry shirt; I just want to slap the crap out of them!

Yes!

I'm always a Spurs fan first, but every year I like to root for teams that are surprises. I followed Brooklyn a lot this season because I thought the odd collection of relative unknowns-- Jarrett Allen, D'Angelo, Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, Rodion Kurucs-- playing well together was interesting. I followed Orlando closely because of Vucevic's relatively late emergence as a legitimate all star with very little talent around him. Sacramento was fun to watch with young players like Fox and Bagley, but also big contributions from the unheralded Serbians, Bogdanovic and Bjelica. I don't think any true fan of the game just sticks to watching and rooting for one team-- that usually just becomes homerism.

That's different. Obviously, there's likeable teams/players that I like to see do well. Especially with all the Spurs connections around the league (Bud, Marks, Snyder, etc). I also root for underdogs in the playoffs or for anyone that plays GS (or LAL/DAL back in the day). But I would never buy jerseys of those teams, go to a game, and present myself like some sort of diehard fan of theirs. That's weak .
