I don't quite understand rooting for a team based on one player.

If Damon had transferred would you have transferred teams?

Where you a fan of his Turkish league team too?


I never got the answer to this question?

Really? You don't understand it at all?

I think the NBA is a crock of shit.

So I solely cheer for teams with Marquette alums on them(in the case of the heat I also cheer for them to lose...win/win). Unless the Twolves are ever relevant then I'd like to see them win but don't really give a damn.

I am primarily speaking about college teams. I have stated this several times in this thread.

So weird.

probably have a problem with me being a bills fan because that's who my dad roots for. I'll bet you would have switched to the Pats in my situation living in NH surrounded by annoying pats fans so it wouldn't be so "weird", as you say

how so? he is pretty handsome

He is ugly as sin from what I remember.

I really don't even remember him to be honest. That's mainly why its so weird.

Good player I guess but hardly someone to obsess over.

Picking pro teams is different for the hundredth time.

Anyway, I'm sure when you started rooting for the Bills they were much better than the Pats.

you clearly weren't a lefty point guard, and you obviously didn't see him play at Arizona if you barely remember him. What are you, 23? That's my guess, which is why you wouldn't remember him in his prime.

they were. but it had nothing to do with that. I was 5 and it's who my dad liked.

I said I barely remember him. I also said he was a good player but I just don't see him as the type of player that would cause someone to root for a particular school for the rest of their life.

It's not like he was Larry Bird or Magic Johnson or even close.

To each their own. It's just odd to me.

His 4 year stretch was one of the best in Arizona history. Always exciting (even losing to Steve Nash and Santa Clara as a 2 seed), made the Final Four in '94.

Plus, those red uni's, cmon bro

I cheer for UK...win or lose....always have...always will! In my feeble and insipid mind, I didn't know I had a choice of teams to cheer for. Which just gave me an idea for a thread....I'll be right back you mf'ers.:yes:
