OT: Which team/fanbase do you respect and hate the most?

[Bank Shot]

The Knicks' fanbase is awesome. I can't imagine what MSG is like when they are good because the atmosphere there is great even when they are terrible. Love the passion and most fans have a good sense of humor. I've lived in NY for the last few years and I haven't had any bad experiences with Knicks fans. The Yankee fanbase is annoying though since it brings in so many bandwagoners.

The Celtics' fanbase has been quiet this year, but it will take more than a few months to make me forget the "how dare you not bend the knee" attitude a lot of their fans have. WOAT was Rose stans during his MVP year. RealGM was a cesspool that season. The Lakers fanbase merging with the LeBron stans has been awful as well. The league is much more fun to follow when the Lakers suck.

For those of you who weren't around at the time, or were too young to remember, the Knicks playoff series with Ewing, Oakley, Starks, and Mason... were quite the riot.

Is it weird that I don't mind Boston fans as much anymore? A few of them over at their board are chill.

It's the Philly and Lakers fans that I truly despise. Always liked Magic fans though.

Amen! I actually like most of the Boston fans and our "competitions" are healthy for both fan bases.

Philly, Lakers AND Bucks too are most annoying.

Boston fans have irked me for years. I never liked Pierce, I didn't like Antoine Walker or Ricky Davis, Raef LaFrentz, etc.
I disliked Detroit fans during the Wallace Bros days and don't know what people see in Drummond.

Indiana has always been fun to watch as a Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest fan (first jersey ever).
I liked Portland (Sheed was my second jersey ever), until he went to Detroit

In terms of teams and looks, I liked;
Small Ball Warriors with Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, etc. (hated Biedrins though)
Young guns OKC with KD, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka and Sefolosha
Favourite team outside of the Raptors is probably Denver. I don't know if I've disliked any of their teams.

I respect the Knick fans the most, its not easy to maintain that passion for that team considering how bad they've been.

Hate? I dislike the Lakers fans the most, too spoiled with their unique advantage for big name star players.

Raptors fan base is pretty toxic at time and def annoying to the rest of the RealGM forum. esp the ones who make threads about Raptors related topics on the main board lmao. cringeworthy at its best - I would say 1/10 are decent.

wait till Raptors play Boston in the playoffs. Things will from from 0-100 reeaaaaaal quick.

its only inevitable. esp if the Raptors lose to the Celtics in the playoffs, some people will go over to their forum to wreak some weakass havoc, as history of this board will tell you.

I hate fans of teams that have no actual ties to those cities, are fair weather fans, or are just bandwagon hoppers. They are the worst. The worst of the culprits being Lakers fans, and lately, Warrior fans. So they're up there because they're tainted with those fakers.

I imagine some cities find Raptors fans annoying now too, because we invade their arenas and chant loudly, and we're EVERYWHERE apparently. But I gotta respect this fanbase just because of all the absolute crap we've been through over the years, all the disappointment, heartbreak, trolls, lack of respect etc., and we're still out there showing up and showing out.

I don't really have a handle on other fan bases enough to actually respect them.

[steamed hams]

Boston fans from every sport are the worst

[supra2k8]

Aside from the Raptors I respect the Spurs most and I hate the Lakers most.

this, i don't hate the real fans, just the fake bandwagon fans

[spicy4MVP]

To me I dont care, I only dont like some Euro fanatics who hate their rivals to the ppint they throw flares at players or start massive fights with rival fans. THat stuff can gtfo, but all fans are the same to me really.

you sir is racist towards the europeans

[team edward]

Respect Indiana. Basketball is in the blood there.

Hate Brooklyn, Milwaukee.

I guess is respect Philly but they should be nicer to Lowry.

[Mr_NC]

I hate Celtic fans the worst

I like Blazer fans the best

[AbbieCat2008]

I don't hate particular teams, but I do get annoyed by the US media and US sport analysts. The Lakers lost an ugly game last night and next morning all you read is "they need someone else who can create their own shot". It's one ugly game. It happens. But the Lakers is getting tons of media coverage as if they are the only best team this year--which is not, as the Bucks has the best record and BEAT the Lakers.

The Lakers are 1-5 against the league's top 7 defensive team. The Lakers can bully bad defensive teams, but not good ones.
