Lakers -> Didn't really have a favourite team when I first started getting into basketball (Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway was my favourite player, thought Scottie Pippen was better than MJ lol) but after Kobe came into the league, got those NBA Courtside games (released in '98 & '99) he really became my guy, so just went with the Lakers since it just made sense.
Sonics/Thunder -> living on the west coast of Canada, a lot of the games we saw on TV were the Sonics since Seattles pretty close, so I was always fan just because I saw them a lot. (saw a lot of Portland too, but because of the rivalry between them and the Lakers, didn't like them haha). I miss the Sonics, but still a fan of the Thunder now.
I root for a few other teams, mostly due to the players though. Pacers (Jalen Rose when he was good, Granger now), Sixers recently (Big Iguodala Fan, Lou Williams), Bucks (The BIG 3 Sam, Ray, Glenn, Jennings now), always liked the Knicks for no particular reason (wait, loved SPREEWELL, dude was good okay)
Despite being from BC, I hated the Vancouver Grizzlies.
