    Im a bulls fan because everyone in the 90s was a bulls fan including me and being born in the late 80s I grew up watching the dynasty bulls and have been following ever since unlike a lot of bandwagoners(who are back now that we're good again)+ As a bulls fan I can hate the browns and the cavs.

    Because the Washington Wizards are my home-town team. Until I was around 3 I lived in Baltimore but since then I've lived in DC.

    I like the Rockets cause--I had some family that used to live there.-Been watching T-Mac since midway through his 1st season with Orlando.- When Hakeem's team went back to back (94-95) was when I first remember watching basketball, mostly Rockets games.

    I live in Los Angeles, a city where if you are an NBA fan, but don't root for the Lakers....you will get your ass kicked. Besides that, my dad got me starting to watch the Lakers at age 6. I started watching Laker basketball around the Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel days. Just always been a fan. My Laker pride is pretty deep as well. If the Lakers lose one night, the next day I am pretty much in a sh*tty mood, and vise-versa. (Especially come playoff time)

    Houston Rockets- TMac has been my favorite player since I was 4(1998) and I just followed him everywhere and watched every team he played for(Raptors, Magic and Rockets)- Yao Ming!- I watched some Hakeem tapes where they won the champs back in 94 and 95- Just a team I liked since 2002-2003(but didn't follow as much as I do now) where Francis and Cat were aroundToronto Raptors- Only team in Canada- My big brother brought me into watching them since he's addicted to them- TMac and Vinsanity when they were around- CHRIS BOSH!

[​IMG] </span></div>You got a man crush. [​IMG] I've loved the Hornets ever since I was given this pennant of all the team logos at one of my pee wee basketball games and I sort of just fell in love with the NBA right there. I played NBA Shootout '01 or whatever it was called and the first team I ever played with was the Charlotte Hornets so from there I started to follow them until I became a die-hard fan about a year later. Part of me liking certain teams is because as a toddler I was introduced to football and I must have just saw the red, white and blue colors that the Bills wore and I sort of began liking them for that until I was old enough to root for them as a fan. It was the same way with me liking the Hornets, that teal and white mixed together on a jersey is just so cool and that's probably where I start rooting for teams based on color. Of course it's a pathetic reason but I was like nine or ten at the time so it's not like I knew who any of the players were besides MJ.

    -Hometown team, that's right, Orlando born and raised I am, I can feel everyones jealousy.-When I got old enough to start playing and watch and actually care about basketball was Shaq's rookie season and he was ripping down goal posts, so that made me an even bigger Magic fan.-Don't really have anymore reasons why I'm a fan, but that's all I need I guess.

    They were the best team in Nba courtside hahaI like the lakers of the tradition, the aura and the feeling that surround the ball club. I like my team because untill recently I knew there main priority was to win. The front office is making it extremly hard for fans to cheer for the lakers. If this current trend continues of idiotic signings and no clear vision there just might be an exodus of ticket holders.- I like the look of the jersey- I like the name- First team I watched- Kobe bryant
