I have a good one: Chicago? I would go with Cubs, if it's not during the Jordan era.

i fixed this. Consider how many championships the Celtics have won. Then consider how many the Red Sox have won.

Does that matter? I mean look how many the Bulls have won compared to the Cubs. The Redsox rule, I had somehow spaced them off when thinking of Boston. The Yankees probably too, but NYers are split a bit with the Mets, and not so in Basketball. That's why I thought that.

denver? meh i bet they like broncos more actually....
 
Boston is a tossup between the Pats and Red Sox right now.

It was a basketball city until the late 80's though.

The Rockies and Broncos both draw more per game

you mean percentage wise on attendance? cause Baseball and Football stadiums are much bigger.

The Nuggets don't draw 100%, so that goes out the window. More people attend Rockies games than Nuggets games.

Denver was at 89%. I think that easily outdraws the % of Rockies fans though

In terms of the Boston people, it's not even close. Hell, the Celtics weren't even selling out the Garden in the 60s when they were winning the title every year.

Denver is absolutely bonkers over the Broncos. The Nuggets might still be 4th after Donkeys/Rockies/Avs.

I don't blame them. I couldn't support a team with Melo, KMart, and JR Smith.
 
Outside of LA, I don't think there are any other true NBA cities that have more than one franchise. NFL is king, and MLB might be more popular than the NBA.

you forgot Bird Man

I considered adding him to the list... but tbh, I kind of wanted him on our team this summer. He would have brought some intensity to the second unit. Melo, KMart, and Smith are just punks.

It is probably fair to say that the Patriots are more popular right now. And that the Red Sox are slightly more popular than the Celtics, what do i know i've never been there. But I don't think New Yorkers like the Mets typically. It's really a New Jersey team. Although if one wants to include NJ in that whole situation...:dunno:

Queens is a part of New Jersey? :dunno:

The Jets/Giants play in Jersey, though.
 
I'd say Detroit. They're pretty big on their red wings though
 
Rochester, Fort Wayne, Syracuse, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Anderson, Sheboygan, and Waterloo.

I would think that cities in Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Indiana might be great NBA cities as well.

Gahhh! I live in SoCal and LA is not a L*ker town, it's a fairweather NBA town. They didn't sell out many games last year, compared with the Dodgers who are routinely selling more than 3 million tickets per year. I heard they are on track for 3.6 million this year.

Dodger fans are quieter and don't go around and stay stupid and obnoxious things like L*ker fans so you don't notice them (us) as much.

Hopefully none of you think being a Blazer fan is a conflict of interest with being a Dodger fan. I was a Blazer fan when Wicks was in town messing up the chemistry and was a Dodger fan when Garvey, Cey, Russell and Lopes were there and there were no Mariners, Rockies or other nearby teams.
 
is Detroit changing their hockey mascot to the tumble weeds?

No on Houston. The Texans rule here.....barely. Floowed prbably by the Astros and then Rockets. Everything fails in comparison to college anything though LOL

If the Rockets were winning championships again though, I wonder if they would rule the town.

I refuse to follow the Mariners or Seagulls, so I think you're in the clear.
