Charlotte Hornets (Big L with his cross arms move after the 3), Seattle Supersonic (The Glove, Kemp, etc) and of course, the Bulls.

Ah the days of Pooh Richardson, Danny Manning, Ron Harper, Loy Vaught,
Ah thems were the days...
I think it gave me the ability to try and be positive(ish) even when the raps stink.
Maybe it's like you tell your ballers friend from the states that you're a fan of Raptors? hahah
Clippers was awaful ... not sure if I can compare it to the current Raptors.

Skinny, you just reminded me I had a friend who was actually a Clippers fan. He rocked a Rodney Rogers Clippers jersey all the time.

I was too young, but I grew up in the West and cheered for the Grizzlies before they moved then took a couple years to accustom myself to the Raptors change. I became a hard Raps fan by the 27 win Mike James/Charlie V. year.

I was really young back in the day and did like the badboy Pistons.
But Detroit really was always the enemy. Especially in baseball in the 80's and even with the Red Wings in the old Norris Division.

Re: OT - Before '95, who did you cheer for?
I was too young to care. I can't really cheer for a team other than my hometeam though, it just feels so wrong, I don't know how people do it. I can pull for another team, but I can never consider myself a fan of it.

bulls, if not for them, i wouldn't be as interested in basketball. Jordan, still the best basketball player i've ever seen. Didn't get to see bird and chamberlin, past my time.

Re: OT - Before '95, who did you cheer for?
I didn't really have a fave team back then, but I'd usually just cheer for the team with the big star on it. I do remember owning a Rockets and a Suns cap though. Back then there wasn't much basketball on and usually could only catch the NBA on NBC.
The order in which I got into sports:
Baseball
Hockey
Basketball
Football
I also found myself cheering for Hannah Storm...

Forgot about that team, but Eddie Jones is still one of my favourite players never amazing but just loved his game for some reason, almost forgot about Nick the Quick and Vlade will always be one of my fave all time big men.

The Suns...still love 'em! Walter Davis and Paul Westphal...KJ and Chuck...Nash and Amare! Ya baby!
I also really loved the Kings with C Webb and J Dub!
What shocks me is how little I care about other sports now. I used to be obsessed with everything.

Great Thread!
Detroit since 86. Great matchups with the celts, lakers bulls, knicks and sixers. Back when you had to play basketball like a man. Bad Boys all day!
