Most intense intra-fan base rivalries

Wade vs LBJ fans was never that bad (I think part of that had to do with the fact the players themselves always got along really well), but I've enjoyed seeing some of the LeBron fans who swore up and down they were true Heat fans slowly migrate off our board and only posting on the Cavs board or LeBron thread in the PC forum now.

On the other hand, Beasley fans vs people who realize Beasley has issues has always been an intense debate on the Heat board.

Then there's also Spo sucks vs Spo is a decent coach, although the coach thing probably goes on with every team's forum.

I never really noticed this as a Pistons fan,

It was more like Monroe supporters vs Monroe detractors.

Everyone loves Dre!

I remember this. Some fans wanted Kyrie gone

On RealCavsFans there's seriously some posters who seem to be strictly Dion fans. As soon as he was traded, they disappeared, but when he was here, they maintained that he would be a star and that Kyrie made the team worse (this was mainly in 2013-14). It looks so bad now. :lol:

I absolutely hate Nets fans, Celtics fans actually aren't as bad as you'd think considering our teams are supposed to hate other. Raptor fans come in after Nets fans as the most annoying. Ok I get they love thier team but they're obnoxious about getting to places that if the Knicks got to everyone would still say we sucked but since it's them it's a big deal.

MitchellUK wrote:Magic message boards from 2006-2008 (I think RealGM was the same but I only caught the tail-end of it here) had a weird Carlos Arroyo vs Jameer Nelson thing happening, or rather Carlos Arroyo Fanboys vs People Who Realised That Arroyo Wasn't Very Good And Even Though They Weren't That High On Nelson Recognized He Was Better.

It was one of those weird things - we had two mediocre point guards, which most people realised but generally sided with Nelson partly because he was a little better, was younger and had more upside, but mostly because there were some crazy Arroyo fanboys who made it impossible to take them or Arroyo seriously (some I encountered were convinced there was a sort of conspiracy to hold him back in Orlando and the NBA in general because of his performance for PR against the US in the 2004 Olympics).

Yes, this is exactly how it was on the Magic RealGM board. I was going to post about it.

Another Magic board war was Vince Carter fanboys vs. Magic fans. But this is the case with any fanbase that has Carter on their team, lol.

(Btw, I liked Carter on the Magic - but Vinsanity stans are illogical and insane.)

I bet there were Magic-Kareem rivalries back in the day.
Delonte West vs. LeBron
(sorry, Delonte)

Mjax detractors vs Mjax supporters

This reached its peak when Mjax was fired. Right now, the number of supporters are almost nil, but there are a few lurking around.

Shaq x Kobe.

The rivalry is so serious that some guys still argue whos the best player, whats a joke for third parties.

Robbie Hummel Fans vs. Robbie Hummel Haters.

I kid you not, there has been a debate on whether to keep him (though most of it has blown over).

The biggest one in the Minnesota forum is the massive "Adreian Payne vs. Anthony Bennett" debate, which is like debating the merits of syphilis vs. gonorrhea, but I digress.
