Welcome your newest "bandwagoner" 

Post#1 » by YungXBrookLyn » Sat Jul 7, 2012 11:02 pm

Wassup guys, my name is Kurt, I'll be 23 tomorrow and I've most recently decided to take my fan talents to Brooklyn. I've actually known about this site for about 3 years and have been a constant reader of the forums, I just never made an account until now. Before my time in Brooklyn I was Suns fan (Yes, a dude from Brooklyn was a Suns fan. I've been a Suns fans for forever and been through everything thick and thin from the finals loss to the Horry hip check to the last second shot by Artest in game 5 of the 2010 WCF after we came back 20, you name it I've been through. Even after Amare left for nothing left for nothing and all my friends/family were telling me to switch teams I said no, I'm gonna be a Suns fan forever, that however has changed smh.

As you guys know Nash was traded to the lakers a couple days ago and I never saw it coming at all. I have always pulled for the knicks/nets so i was hoping for him to sign one of those 2 places. I very well knew he was going to leave, him leaving was no problem to me, I even was ok with him joining miami. But instead, he ripped every Suns fan heart out and went to the lakers in a sign trade so both he and the team had to agree on it. So emotions went through me, I wanted to cry. How could Steve do this to us? The same guy who was our hero and had so many battles with the Lakers turned his back on us. The team also turned his back on the fans by agreeing to the trade. Yes I know he supposedly did it to be closer to his kids but I dont care, you NEVER look at the enemy for help and as a team you NEVER trade to a division rival who is 1)better than you and 2)you've had so many battles with. My "team" let me down drastically over the years, you let amare walk for free and now this? I'm DONE. Nash pulled a somewhat of a Lebron, somewhat of a Brett Farve to but worse, he forced himself to the enemy and rival lakers.

Nash was my favorite player since Penny Hardaway but I cant and refuse to root for him anymore, I hate him now, I hate him just as much as I hate kobe and the rest of the lakers. What he did will NEVER be forgivable me and hope and pray that he NEVER gets a ring the rest of his career.

I know I've ranted alot in this post but I had to let it out, I'm sure people who lived in phoenix are feeling 2 times as worse as I am and that"s real bad. Brooklyn (Flatbush) has been my home since birth and I live it here. Even while I was Suns fan still I thought it was great that the Nets were coming back home and that the competition between the Nets/Knicks would be great and exciting. I've been pulling for this team from since I heard they were moving back to Brooklyn, watching and following up every chance I get. I may not know every last bit about the team but I know alot from Drazen to Derrick Coleman to drafting Kenyon #1, etc. I get really excited for the future looking at this team, JJ DWill Crash and Brook Lopez, Teletovic, Marshon could really win some games and be a great team. I really hope and pray we get Dwight even though it'd mean parting with Brook/Marshon/picks, etc. Those players are great and potentional but this is #DaWhite we're talking about. With the whole nash situation situation at hand I thought, why not be a fan of team in your own backyard, who is obviously trying to win and the front office is giving their all unlike Robert (cheapskate) SarverAnyways I hope you guys will welcome me to this board with open arms and not bash me for "bandwagoning". I'll end this post these last few words.......#HelloBrooklyn #HowYouDoin? 8-)

Uh...YungXBrookLyn (Kurt), just...stay the hell out of my way and your family lives. Alright? :lol: No, but good to have you aboard. As I've said in another thread, please take in the board and you'll find yourself at home in no time.

Now for the bandwagoner initiation treatment...bring in the horse and the lube! (Honestly...this thread is one of the worst welcomes ever).

Welcome aboard. This board could use more posters, and you live in Brooklyn so even the most insular Net fan shouldn't have anything to say.

I was a suns fan too for many many years. Jason Kidd was my favorite player and when they traded him to the nets for marbury I was so pissed off that I started rooting for the nets so kidd could show the suns what a mistake they made by trading him. After that it kinda just stuck and I became a nets fan. I'm still a kidd fan but I hate that he went to the knicks. I guess I was a bandwagon jumper in 2001 but to be fair I did root for the nets that whole year and not only when I saw that they were good.

Welcome, I'm a new fan also, but I've been following the Nets for a couple years in anticipation of their move to Brooklyn. I go to school in Flatbush, too.

Anyway, I never had a team because I grew up in Buffalo, but always loved basketball and the NBA. 2 years ago I narrowed my choices down to Nets, Clippers, T-Wolves, Raptors (I didn't want to be "bandwagon"). When the move to Brooklyn was announced I realized it would probably coincide with my move to Brooklyn. I also really liked everything I read about the new owner.
