Brazilian... And I fell in Love with the Celtics for a couple reasons...1) when Milt Palacio hit that half court shot to win the game..I was like 10..and I just thought it was magical...lol... Tommy with the I LOVE WALTAH always had laughs from me..so that made me start watching games more and more...and of course..the WIGGLE..Antoine doing the WIGGLE...lmaoooooo...boy those were the days...xD

Helsinki, Finland. The first time I was exposed to NBA basketball was the '86 finals. Been a Celtics fan since. So yes, I'm a bandwagoner.

You were a bangwagon fan...but anybody who lived as a Celtic fan thru the 90's has earned the right to be called a normal fan... :lol:

Same here, except I'm from Portugal.

I don't have much time to post here as often as I wanted to, but I've been following this forum since the beginning. I try to make an effort to at least read a few posts every day.

We're just crazy like that. Ammonium chloride gives it that additional punch. There's no table salt although the taste is vaguely similar. I can send you some if you like

Hanno Möttölä used to play for Atlanta. No wonder you don't remember him though. His NBA career was really a disappointment after having a moderately successful college career with the Utah Utes. I hope Petteri Koponen is going to be the next Finn in the league. Basketball in Finland could really use a boost like that.

slovenia
it all started when indy throw out celts in the 1st round a few years ago
nba was rare here before, internet streams, torrent etc really only blossomed a few years ago, so I was in theory Spurs fan before, due to Rasho offcourse.
