Fans are supposed to be homers. If you asked me 10 years ago, I would have completely denied that Jordan pushed off on Russell.

It is human nature. Just like when your biggest rival has better sales numbers than you, it is not because he is better, but because the deck was unfairly stacked against you.

Everybody has the right to complain a little, but do it too much and people stop listening and call you a crybaby.

^^^ I disagree with that. The best thing to do is step up and admit when the better team won. I don't see what's so hard about doing that.

the only things i wish would stop are the disrespecting of the other teams players for no reason.

example a.) utah booing derek fisher. this guy left because his daughter is sick. how can you honestly boo this guy for that?

example b.) saying "x player sucks" no, kobe doesn't suck and you chanting that isn't going to make him miss shots.

example c.) booing players period. goes with example a but this is just in general. booing a douchebag(example mike bibby after the things he said about bostons fans) but booing just anyone with the ball in their hands is kinda overboard

a)they aren't booing Fisher's daughter, they're booing Fisher..it's a natural reaction when a guy leaves your team..the ones that talk about Fisher's daughter are classless and are pieces of ****..

b)the crowd isn't going to affect a great player either way, so chanting doesn't matter..it's just funny..

c)how is it overboard? it's part of being a sports fan..

most of us are die-hards here..we take it personally when our teams lose, we would trade a lot to see our teams win..if our team is in the playoffs and we're playing another team in a 7 game series, we're going to see their players multiple times..it's natural to dislike the other team's players during the series and boo them..it's just part of being a fan..

I agree but it will never happen haha. We love our teams to much to let them lose without a fight.
