    What is up with bandwagon fans? Last night as i was passing a sports bar this guy had spurs car flags that i saw him taking them down, he then went to his trunk and pulled out Dallas car flags. Do you know of any bandwagon fans? What is their deal?

    LOL, are you kidding? There's a load of badwagon fans in LA, but I've never seen anything that blatant before.

    That's brutal.

    Toronto's got diehard fans, but there's also a "what have you done for me lately" mentality. You'll see people hate on the Raptors like crazy and be so excited when they show signs of improvement.

    it was funny though i think maybe that guy has car flags of every team so when they win he supports that team. Like i said i have never seen that before

    Maybe he lives in between San Antonio and Dallas (but slightly closer to San Antonio). So, he's a fan of both teams.

    Yeah, that's could be true. I mean, when the Spurs go home, you're going to take the flags off the car right?

    I guess maybe he was rooting for the Spurs in the Spurs/Mavericks series, and since the Mavericks won, he takes the Spurs' flags off, it's the end of their season. He might like Texas so he wants a Texas team to win, leaves you with Dallas.

    Same here. Rasheed is my favorite player, so people always assume that I'm a Pistons bandwagoner simply because they won a ring. I guess they're kinda right, but really it's because he's there. This is my list of teams that have the most badwagon fans, in no order.

    Clippers
    Cavs
    Heat
    Spurs
    Pistons
    Lakers

    Haha, that's pretty bad. I remember when Shaq got traded to the Heat, I started seeing all these Shaq jerseys and kids that are just like "You like the Magic? Oh, the Heat are better though." Coming from the same kids who wear the Kobe and LeBron jerseys.

    Yea, same here. Although, with me, its because I had just grown to love Ben Wallace's game. I picked them to win it all that year. Might have been because I was really Anti-Laker after they went out and signed Malone and Payton.

    How about lotto team for 11 straight years? Loyalty sucks for Warrior fans, I guess I enjoy the punishment. [​IMG]

    Cleveland is infected with bandwagon fans. It's disgusting how many of them think basketball was created by LeBron James. They're not the worst bandwagon fans, that belongs to the Lakers, who's fans switch over to Clippers games when the Lakers aren't on top.

    I can at least say Cleveland fans wouldn't do that.

    I still have my car decked out in spurs stuff, my car flags are up, still got shoe polish on the windows saying thanks for a great season, still sport my jersey to work and on the street, everyone telling me why you still support them they lost? Right there you can tell who the true fans are. Yesterday night i was at burger time with a couple of friends and we all had on our spurs gear. This burger time is by bandera rd. which is a busy road and as cars passed by you could hear a lot of them cheering and still saying go spurs go! I love it when fans still support their team no matter win or lose.

    The Dream = Rockets fan for life......I have other favorite players who I root for (Lebron, Billups, Bibby, Duncan, etc.) but I'll always be a Rockets fan first and foremost.
