Blasphemy.

Well after what happened this summer, I'm a fan of 29 teams. I bet you can guess the 1 team I'm not a fan of.

I'm a Pistons fan who just moved to Philadelphia. I'll probably support the Sixers as well.

I'm a die-hard/hardcore Orlando Magic fan, but I root for the GS Warriors (hometown team) out West.

Well the point of this thread was to see who is a fan of two teams. There's a lot of posts here about supporting or rooting for another team, but I'm speaking straight up fan.

As stated earlier, basketball is very similar to college sports in terms of you're able to support two teams with ease. Unlike baseball or football, where it's nearly impossible.

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.

Well main favorite team is the Wolves but the Lakers are a very close second.We people ask I say because their both Minnestoa teams(i.e MPLS Lakers)

But I am also a fan of the Heat,Bulls and Suns.

lakers and miami...

damn this is gonna be wierd if both go to the finals

Only fan of the Lakers. but watching certain great players make me at least respect certain teams, such as OKC b/c of Durant.....

Yeah Heat and Nets. When ever the two play though I always root for the Heat.

LOL why am I not surprised.

Raptors all day... and then when they miss the playoffs, I root for the underdogs.

Toronto and Milwaukee.

Them having the two largest fanbases on RealGM is a definite plus.

Only a loyal fan of one team - Bulls

But there are teams I appreciate and enjoy seeing win when they are playing any team but the Bulls - Thunder, Nets. But my loyalty to these teams in non existent.

Bulls are my team. But I really love the Nuggets and I've been a casual Lakers supporter since Shaq. I also really like the Magic. The three "other" teams are only I like the current team not the franchise in general which I guess is the difference.

Minnesota and Toronto .I live in Winnipeg so Minnesota is close ,i visit there twice a year and cheer for the other professional teams 2. For Toronto i get every Toronto game on TV plus their Canadian easier to follow them.

Yup.

Im a Raptors Fan and a Shaq fan....take what you can get out of that

I'm a Wizards and Magic fan
