The Most Loyal Fans in Basketball - Forbes

Us Miami fans have known this for a long time but now there is scientific evidence to back it up.


Sorry "fans" of other teams but you're all just bandwagoners compared to the Loyal Miami Fans.

What were the rankings like before Lebron and friends showed up?

This is the most ironic comment ever made...

The myth that Miami fans are somehow less knowledgeable or less loyal than other fans is so widely perpetuated only because of the desire that so many have for it to be true.

If it weren't for Rony Seikaly there wouldn't even be a Heat fanbase.

Look it up for any team, any year and you will find a direct correlation between loyalty and games won over the last few years.

Its absurd to think this a new phenomenon unique to Miami.

I can only vouch for my cousin who goes to every game he can and is quite knowledgeable. Of course, he is a native Hoosier.

Yeah, there's not much arguing with that...

....although I could mention statistical significance and sample size here.

and all this time I thought it was all the Miami fans that were less knowledgeable than other fans that made us all think that

Read it. Actually proves opposite. Bulls no.1 despite several poor seasons.

Being loyal to the Heat right now is about as hard as being loyal to Kate Upton.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Was cleveland the number one fan base when lebron was there? I sure remember alot of empty seats before lebron came...seems like when the heat win, fans come.....once lebron is gone, the fans will be like the marlins fans

maybe more to do with your pretentiousness

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

funniest shit - would suggest Forbes check out the arena which is usually 1/3 empty or they leave early when game is still undecided

"Who?" - Miami Heat "fans"

Pretty interesting. My statement was certainly an oversimplification, but I still think not entirely inaccurate.

Certainly some of that credit for the Bulls being number 1 belongs to a guy by the name of Michael.

The effect can last for years when the success is that great.
