Interactive Map of Your NBA teams fan base

[Gooch1034]

Couple of thoughts:

-Why did they use black for the Spurs AND Heat? I'm just going to (safely) assume every black area outside of TX are Miami fans.

-I find it interesting that pockets of Kentucky appear to be Celtics fans. They're just out there by themselves. I can't think of a reason why that area would lean that way right off the top of my head.

They still talk about Walter McCarty around there like he just graduated.

Interesting that the Sonics fans turned into Laker fans instead of shifting allegiances to the Blazers.

I think they overstated the Lakers popularity "just slightly"

I wasn't pointing out my idiocy but rather the Hater idiocy/hypocrisy whom most of them happen to be Laker fans. I am sure those fans didn't become fans during a 27 win season.

I could care less why a player roots for what team and what duration. It has no affect on my life outside of the funny meme's that come from it, which brighten my day

You pretty much point out your idiocy every time you post. And what the map shows is that the Lakers are still the most popular team even after a 27 win season. Sorry that is so tough for you to deal with.

For someone who claims to not care why a "player" roots for a team, you sure seem to comment on one particular team an awful lot.

The one fact you can take away from this data is that the Lakers, in shambles, are still America's team.

Oh one more thing.

The Celtics are not.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

hahahaha Hammer, I want to win a prop bet against you and make you change all 3 of your favorite teams to the Celtics


Side note OKC intensity of fandom is pretty cool. A few other teams have it as well.

 

[trojanfan12]

Typo, I comment on several teams and players, I even start threads about several different players. It seems that in a Laker fan dominated board all they want to do is troll Heat/LBJ fans and PHO fans.

My most recent thread:

Your most recent thread sure took off, didn't it? I also find it interesting that the least entertaining troll on these boards (you) accuses other fans of trolling.

I don't think the Celtics have ever been Americas team. The Bulls were though.

 

[LogicMan]

The Celtics should not be America's team. The Celtics are more hated than loved, as are the Patriots, Bruins and Red Sox. They also are not a big into marketing type brand or fan base .

Kentucky/Indiana area attracts alot of Celtics fans (see link as why) and for some reason all Boston sports teams do really well in Alaska (I actually go there alot).

It amazing to me tho how Boston penetrates deep into NY and even close to NY city. OK, we may have invented the game, and we may have the most titles but MSG vs Boston could be argued as the heart and sole of the sport.

Nice to have a map to show assholes that everyone in NW Indiana is a fan of Chicago teams, not Indy teams.

 

[trojanfan12]

That is exactly my point.

Your inability to start a non-troll thread that anyone cares about doesn't mean you should return to being a troll.

It means you need to step your game up on actual basketball topics that people give a shit about. I mean, we're only seeing one of the more exciting NBA playoffs in years and you start a post comparing 2 bigs that aren't even in the playoffs. One was a 1st round exit and the other didn't make it.


The fact that you included Dwight and couldn't even get any Lakers fans to comment on it should tell you all you need to know about that thread.

Another bust drafted by the NYK. I was so excited about that draft. They got John Wallace, McCarty and Dontae' Jones in the first round.

All busts

Because so much of what is said on these boards is legitimate basketball talk

I am almost always posting in the legitimate threads until they inevitably turn into troll fests about half a page in when some Lakers fan can't help but bring up LBJ.

So are u a Bucks fan or a Heat fan?

 

[Steelboy84]

Never heard of the Bucks.

So now Kings, Nuggets, and Magic? Oh wow.

You're the one who usually turns them into troll threads because you can't stop posting about Kobe and the Lakers.

Like I said, you are an un-entertaining troll. Your best bet is to try to step up your legit threads so that people actually want to post in them or just drop the trolling. Un-entertaining trolls tend to get "Sterlinged" around here and I like most of your legit posts too much to want to see that happen.

If that were the case, most Lakers fans would have been gone a long time ago. But.....

Most on here are wondering how the hell you're still around.
