Spurs fans ranked as NBA’s most loyal for third straight year

[namlook]

Congratulations.

For the third straight season, the New York-based Brand Keys Inc. have pegged Spurs fans as the most loyal in the NBA.
Bloomberg.com reports the rankings are generated by surveying 250 fans in each team’s market and assessing the data based on factors driven by on-field success, fan bonding with players and the franchise’s history and tradition. A club’s effort and sense of teamwork also can have an effect.
Here’s a list of how the group ranked the top five NBA franchises.


NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Los Angeles Lakers
3. Dallas Mavericks
4. Boston Celtics
5. Phoenix Suns

spurs = class

In before congratulations for your 3-peat loyalty championship.

[Sportcamper]

There are more fans cheering for the Lakers in the 2nd half of Spurs home games…There are thousands of people in San Antonio wearing Lakers jerseys & jackets…Clearly the people from Brand Keys have not watched a Lakers/Spurs game in years…

[TE]

Fans of other fanbases, watch and learn!

[The Gemini Method]

For all the complaints about the Laker fanbase being fairweather, it's nice to see we're in the top-2 of teams with the most loyalty. Granted, those in the lower sections of Staples (and I've had maybe 5 games in that area...) have no idea what loyalty really is.

Congrats Spurs on your le once again...

This can't be emphasized enough, imo.

Maybe even hang a banner on this one...

Lol I've been to both lakers games this year vs the spurs, and about every fan were either young boys or girls, who just go with the crowd or whoever they hear on tv,it was so funny reminded me of john cena in the wwe.

The true show of loyalty is Mav fans, who still support that team

wouldn't know that by reading this site. seems as almost every Mavfan except for Ghazi is saying 1st round exit here we come without even knowing who we play

[ALVAREZ6]

Coming from a dude who's lived most of his life just outside Philly, their ranking for the Phillies is PURE BULL . What a joke having them #1, yeah, they're the most loyal NOW that they're winning and have the most dominant pitching lineup in the league. People just like to support good teams, and tailgate...baseball. There you have it.

When I was younger, no one gave a about the Phillies, except the true fans. When I say no one, I mean compared to the amount today, because maybe there were a good amount before, but just 5 years ago (roughly), no one cared for the Phils in my HS..crofl, they became a solid team, and now literally everyone is a Phillies fan (except me), even those that never cared for baseball! It's pretty amusing, and extremely annoying at the same time because all the dumb broads who know nothing about sports are all on the Phillies , and the same can be said for most of the guys.

Funny

[Axe Murderer]

Realistically I know we aren't going anywhere but I still watch the re ed team in hopes of a miracle

Nobody closes us out Tyson.

Nobody.

I thought Lakers fans were the worst fans..

Lots of good franchises in Boston

[LnGrrrR]

Yup, it was a good decade last year.

Now, if you had done this poll in the 90's... well, the Red Sox would still be there. Maybe the Bruins.

[ALVAREZ6]

Even on tha court we stay flyyy, Jada and A.I., make sho you go get the A fiiives

Things to do: Cliche, I know, but I would definitely like to catch an L.A. team playing against the Red Sox @ Fenway Park.

You should go sometime, Fenway Park is great. And there's a ton to do in the surrounding area.

I already went and saw Wrigley Field, caught a Cubs game that they won in the 14th on a grand slam by Soriano. Didn't get to see Yankee field before they build a new one though.

Last professional game I caught by one of my teams was seeing the Pats get demolished by the Saints in the Dome.

Most definitely will do so...probably during the summer months as I've heard that's the best time to catch a early evening tilt.

I used to think that we didn't have history in L.A., but if anyone's out in the L.A. area, Dodger Stadium is definitely a great place to catch a game during the Spring. There is always tons of eye candy and if you listen to Vin on the old Shures...it's just immaculate.

I've been to ARCO in Sacramento, AT&T Park (My favorite...), NHK Stadium, and Safeco Park--all of which were awesome experiences.

Try to catch a day game if you go; better atmosphere, and then win or lose you can leave the stadium and still have plenty to do.

Last game I caught was in 2007, we crushed the Twins 17-5 or so, Beckett was pitching and Youk hit a homer. (Or, as they say in Boston, a homah.)

I definitely wouldn't mind catching a game in Dodger Stadium. The only three I've been to are Fenway, Wrigley and Camden Yards.

Yeah, I was thinking a day game would probably be better. There is so much in Boston that would be interesting to experience. Man, I need to find time to go travel again.

I am going to Petco Park on April 9th for a Dodger vs. Padres game. For a modern stadium, Petco Park is amazing. It's really nestled nicely into the skyline of Downtown San Diego. I went last year and it was very nice to experience the park. It was a bit chilly, but still fun nonetheless.

[LnGrrrR]

Yeah, I've gotta get out to visit San Diego one day. It's on the list next to Vegas, Paris, Galapagos islands etc etc
