Warriors Fans' Roll Call

1. Where do you live? Where did you grow up?
<div>2. How long have you been a Warriors fan? How did you become a Warriors fan?
3. Favorite current Warriors player? Favorite former Warriors player?
4. How often do you go to Warriors games?
5. Are you a fan of any other teams in the NBA or in other leagues, such as the NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.? Which teams?
6. Anything else that you would like to add?</div>

 

1. Bay Area. Half of my life in Korea and rest of half in US so far.</p>

2. 14 years. Pretty much because Warriors are in Bay Area and that's where I lived.</p>

3. Biedrins, Jamison</p>

4. One or two in a season</p>

5. Casual Giants and 49ers fan</p>

6. Not much at this point.</p>

 

1. Bay Area, Bay Area
<div>2. since Run TMC, I was born into it
3. Baron Davis is my fave (He is the best guy with a lot of different moves, but since I like offensive post players like Amare Stoudamire and Yao Ming, I might like Brandan Wright because he's got a lot of good scoring moves and his court awareness/passing is supposed to be above average), </div><div>Brian Cardinal (because he doesn't look anything like a nba basketball player, he plays with a passion, teamwork and no regard for his own body but for the chance of a earning the team an extra posession, and he got paid after being a training camp invite with a long shot to make any nba roster let alone getting playing time.</div><div>Then there's Jrich (because he's an awesome all-around athlete, he's a fan's player and he's a nice guy)
4. once or twice or three times every year for free
</div><div>5. I like Duncan, but Duncan is boring and the spurs are kind of boring unless Parker or Ginobilli are tearing it up on the drive, but I hate Parker and Ginobilli for various reasons. I like Yao, but the rockets are kind of boring except for when Yao or T-mac does something exciting. I like the Suns because of Nash and Amare, but I figure teams with Duncan or Yao/McGrady on them would probably win a championship way before any team that likes to play small and run the floor. Shaq and Kobe was pretty exciting to watch, but they were on the Lakers and the Lakers are frowned upon here. Houston may have some early first round exits, but I'm sure they'll get better if they don't blow their whole window of opportunity. They could actually play similar to a Shaq/Kobe type of team, but just not as good for obvious reasons. </div><div>6. Go Dunleavy? </div>

 

1. I'm in the easy bay suburbs, but I was in San Francisco till I was 9.<div>2. I got into basketball the year after Jordan retired. Until late 1999 I was a Bulls fan before the Warriors, but then I started to watch the horrible team and fall in love.3. I love Jax and Baron's intensity together. They play as hard as they can and have emotion. I used to pull for Biedrins to get playing time and I've loved watching his game develop. He'll be a great player as will Monta. I remember I used to love Donyell Marshall and was devestated when he left, so he'd be my all time favorite.4. I haven't gone since before Baron came to the Warriors.I remember watching Fisher botch the last possesion against the Suns and let it go to double OT.5. Bobcats, Cal and Giants</div>

 

<div>1. San Francisco, CA. Des Moines, IA</div><div>2. About 15 years. Just started to like them, but adopted them as my team after one of my favorite Iowa Hawkeyes, B.J. Armstrong was traded to the Warriors (I know, that didn't work out so well, but I've stuck with the team long after B.J. left, especially since I've been living in the bay area for the past 11 years.)</div><div>3. Geez, I hesitate to say name a new one because my favorite Warriors always end up getting traded (Antwan, Gilbert, Dunleavy, Richardson, etc.) Right now I guess my favorite is Andris. Favorite past Warrior is a toss up between B.J. Armstrong and Gilbert Arenas.</div><div>4. Not often, once every couple of seasons (damn student loan people insist I repay them instead of being cool.)</div><div>5. My alligences are as follows (from greatest to least...but still passionate): GS Warriors, Cal Bears/Iowa Hawkeyes, Kansas City Chiefs. I'll also root for any Bear or Hawkeye in professional sports as well as select former Warriors on other teams (Gil, Dunleavy, Jamison, and Richarson). </div><div>6. Can't wait for the '07/'08 season!!!</div>

 

1. Fremont, Fremont</p>

2.Since the Jamison days. They were the first team I've watched fully as in almost all of their games. And they are from the Bay. </p>

3. Current: Baron, Monta, and Beans. Can't pick. Old times: JRich, Mullin, Arenas, Hardaway, and Jamison.</p>

4. 1-3 times a year.</p>

5. The Nets, Raiders, SF Giants, Chargers, and the A's. </p>

6 We believe! </p>

 

1. San Francisco <div>2. 14 years when Webber got drafted</div><div>3. Baron Davis, Chris Gatling4. Probably 5 games a season</div><div>5. Fan of the Heat because they signed PENNY! and of course the Niners6. Sign NELSON already! </div>

 

1. Pleasant Hill (x2)</p>

2. About 6 years. Boughta 5 gameticket bundleoff a STH on eBay which included Jordan's last game, and 4 other games. Even though I think they lost all of the games, we had so much fun my best friend and I decided to get season tickets for the next season. I've been a season ticket holder ever since (he bailed on me after the first year).</p>

3.Baron. J-Rich (sucks to consider him a former Warrior now *sniff)4. Having season tickets, I go to the games I want and sell the rest. I usually attend about half the home games. There are too many games for me to attend every one (sometimes 3 in one week!)5. I like the 49ers. I root for the Sharks. I'm not into baseball, but pull for the A's and Giants (if they make the playoffs )6. Can't wait for the season to start!</p>

</p>

 

<div>1. I was born in San Francisco, and have grown up and lived in neighboring Marin County ever since (Larkspur, Corte Madera, Tiburon, San Rafael...the 415, as they say).</div><div></div><div>2. I was raised a Warriors fan, although I remember very little about them when I was a child. I remember going to my first basketball game and having to leave because the crowd noise hurt my ears, and my dad always tells me that we were at Disneyland when the Warriors and Lakers squared off in the playoffs, and Chris Mullin and Magic Johnson had some sort of epic scoring duel in one of the games.</div><div>I suppose my more active fandom started when my parents took me to game in the late 90s. You'd think it would be hard to get excited for a basketball team that was trotting out John Starks, Mark Price, and Muggsy Bogues all past their prime, but I somehow managed. I remember in particular one game in which Arvyenas Sabonis (sp?) tripped over Bogues while running down the court.</div><div>I got into it big time when Arenas started running the show... and now while the Warriors are on a definitie upswing, there is a part of me that misses when they were so bad, because every gutsy victory almost felt like its own miniature championship.</div><div>3. Baron Davis, probably. Despite my handle, I have no overwhelming affection for Monta Ellis, although he is a terrific young player, and I won some points in my family for being the first to realize he was a real player. As for the all time question... I never saw Rick Barry or Wilt Chamberlain or any of those old guys play, and I don't have any memory of Hardaway, Mullin or Richmond, even though I suppose I did see them at some point, so I suspect it'd have to be Gil The Thrill.</div><div>4. Normally, maybe three a year. Last year, though, gosh... I went to the Minnesota game near the end of the year, the day the Clips lost to the Kings, and I went to every home game after that, including the Mavs and Jazz series. That Mavericks series was insane. I can barely articulate how proud it made me feel to just be there, a part of all that.</div><div>5. I'm a bay area lifer... Warriors, Niners, Giants. Although I'm not crazy about football, and the Giants have made it awfully hard on me recently (I never failed to have fun watching the Warriors, even when they sucked, so why are the Giants such a slow death!?). I watched the Pacers as often as I could until Reggie retired, he was my favorite.</div><div>6. I've got a nagging soreness in a section of my gums around the lower left side of my mouth... got a popcorn kernal speared in there yesterday when I went to see Stardust, and I couldn't even get it out with floss... it's highly distracting.</div>
