Lakers/Knicks have to be about neck and neck for fan base...

i'd say Celtics then Chicago and Heat after that...

I agree...
Although, I think there are slightly more LA fans than Knicks fans.

Raptors conquer RealGM, but there are plenty of Knicks/Lakers homers out there too.

On BB.com in the sports section the only 3 teams with threads dedicated to teams are Lakers, Celtics, Raptors with the odd Knicks fan. I'de say those 4, and probably Chi.

I've searched and there isn't really any heat forums outside of realgm that are bigger than in realgm.

The spurstalk is huge! In the off season there can be 300 people viewing the general forum on that site alone.

I'd add Rockets to that list. ClutchFans is pretty intense.

The Magic have a decent following too. Plenty on RealGM, plus the orlandomagic.com boards.

i think most knick fans are pretty good. we don't really have anything positive in our organization to be homers about and for the most part we accept that.

You're all beginning to realize that step-by-step, but some of your fellow Knick fans on other sites haven't quite gotten the memo.

Because they're from...from...from...Milwaukee.

Nah, I'm just kidding, Milwaukee isn't that bad, but I just don't think that I've ever met a Bucks fan in real life.
