They're everywhere now, since of last summer they've multiplied and have taken over realgm.

Top 5 in order

Miami
Chicago
NY
LA
Boston


I'm not understanding the Toronto connection to real gm :-?

The Raptors board has the most threads and posts on realgm, are in a major sports city, and despite 3 playoff wins in 8 years and .409 average over the last 16 years the Raptors are ranked as the 10th most valuable NBA franchise according to Forbes. The Raptors have a large fanbase and that's the connection to RealGm


:lol: so real gm is creme de la creme of sports boards? :roll:

I'm not sure if the creators of real gm or from toronto or not but i have never once met a fan of anything concerning toronto...ever! Almost certain it's limited to real gm *shrugs*

Torontonians use the Internet more than other NA cities on average. Not sure if it still is but Facebook most active network was t.o for a long time.

I think that is a big reason we dominate realgm.

Cause we love basketball. Canadians also use forums and the internet disproportionately compared to other countries for whatever reason too.

The whole thread was both fanbases basically arguing over whose penis was smaller. Believe it or not, during the VDN era, Bulls fans were awfully pessimistic.

Bulls and Knicks would still win at that.


Lol, wow. Both fanbases had huge numbers throughout some very lean times. It's not even close which team would win that.

Create a poll, include one option that has some Toronto connection, you'll get your answer soon enough.

this also works on most other websites.

Was wondering if Vancouver Grizzlies were still here would they get similar support as Raps?

Grizz in 4 doesn't sound bad either.

Do yourself a favor and never put Bulls and bandwagon in the same sentence again. The Bulls have annually finished in the top 3 for attendance every season since 2004 EVERY season. The Chicago Bulls once led the entire league in attendance after only going 41-41. Not one franchise in America would ever lead a league in attendance while going .500. Period, name me another that could. Where have you been the last past decade?

American don't concern themselves with things that aren't American
Ps. The Toronto Maple Leafs are far and away the most popular and valuable hockey team despite being perennial losers. So I'm sure there's a few fans of sports in Toronto

Didn't you just put Bulls and bandwagon in the same sentence? :lol:

The question was, in essence, which fanbase has more newly-joined posters. I'd wager that Bulls have more newly joined posters this year than the Heat, especially post-ASB.
