    Wow, seems like everyone's reason is it being their home-town team.Well, I guess that's the ideal way to be a fan of a team. I don't know why I expected more variety.

    I was born in Iran but raised in L.A and I got into watching the Lakers from my cousins they were die hard fans and I've been watching them since 1995 when I was 5 years old and I was always happy when the Laker games were on I've been going to a lot of games ever since they were in the Great Western Forum and now Staples Center and im still a proud fan :dribble:

    76ers because of Iverson...I was pretty much oblivious about basketball, and I was pretty impressed with Iverson and started watching more...and just developed into a fan.Rockets because I live in Houston.

    I like the Grizzlies because I live in Memphis, and once they moved here, I just started watching them on TV and started going to games and became a fan.

    My mother is from Phoenix. I got into the Suns around 89 when I was about 7. Haven't looked back since. Once you pick a team you have to stick with em. I'm a Arizona Cardinals fan and love em no metter what they do. Same with Leeds United, they're sh*t but I love em.

    Because I live in Indiana and you pretty much have to like basketball here and you have to remain dedicated to your teams, the Hoosier teams. It's like an unwritten law

    Most people ask me why I live in Jersey, and don't like the Nets? Well, I like pretty much all the teams my dad does (because I grew up watching all those games so grew to like em) and when my dad was a kid the nets didn't exist, so I like the Knicks and I watched so many of the playoff games in the 90's..so Yeah, that's basically it.

    my dad loves basketball. Started to watch it with him, and that's how it grew on me. Favorite Team is Houston because it's my hometown and team.

    Hometown team. Hopefully that is the answer for most people in the US.
