When did you start being a fan of the NBA?

[CB4allstar]

I have been a fan of the Raptors for two years now. Although I was a dumbass until like 6-7 months ago.How about you guys? Don't say since you were two, because that is simply a lie.

Since I moved to AZ, which was 2 weeks b4 the Suns signed Nash

I decided then I liked basketball and would follow the home team.

 

[streetshox23]

I never really liked a team after the bulls were done but I have loved basketball since 3rd grade.

</div>I understand it's a joke but with you there non stop. I warned you 3-4 times already. Maybe a suspension will slow down the insults.I started watching the NBA seriously in 2001 during the Sixers-Bucks Eastern Conference Finals. Been a hardcore fan ever since.

 

[Clangus]

1996 saw sir Charles play and I fell in love with the game.I saw the Sonics play and that was it they have been my team since!!

 

[nba dogmatist]

i've always been a fan, but not really a true fan until about two or three years ago.

 

[DRob-50-Forever]

In 3rd grade. Sister was a cheerleader for a basketball team. I had to go to the games. So I started to like and play basketball. Then from their on out I have been an NBA fan. I'm almost 20 now, so however long that is.

 

[LightsOut]

Pretty early actually. I think I was around 7 years old, during the old Heat-Knick rivalry days, in the late 90s.

 

[RashadzMcCantz]

I've been a Chicago Bulls fan since the 2002 season. I began to like the Chicago Bulls one day after they traded Brad Miller,Ron Artest, and Ron Mercer to the Indiana Pacers for Jalen Rose and Travis Best. That's actually when I started to understand the NBA and really got into it and started watchin it. I was 11 at the time but I've been playing basketball for much longer than the 2002 season.

 

[dsounG]

I've been a fan since I was 4. Of course I didn't know much. I started being a hardcore fan in the 2002-2003 season.

 

[BrewCityBuck]

Since I was around 7 years old...I watched every Bulls game on TV while Jordan was there, EVERY GAME, I mean I never missed one...I was a Jordan fan and a Bucks fan...I remember wearing my Jordan and Pippen jerseys in Elemantary school on game days.

 

[ballerman2112]

ive loved basketball since i was literally a little little kid, but i didnt follow it extremely close until a couple of years ago i supposse. I mean, i used to watch like all of the spurs games when i was 8 years old until now but i didnt know that much about the game besides the spurs.

 

[nba dogmatist]

yeah, from when i was like 4-8, our family had season tickets to the Spurs' games. and they were pretty dang good seats from what i remember. Too bad the spurs sucked when we had them hahha. we sold them the year duncan was drafted.

[iversonfan268]

I started following basketball in 3rd grade which was the '00-'01 season. I didn't follow it a ton though and only watched Sixers games when they were on and ocasionally(sp?) Warriors games. About 1 1/2 years ago I started becoming a huge fan and followed the NBA a lot closer and about 7 months ago I finally actually started getting knowledgable about the game.

 

[S_Gurad]

1988 and used to be a hard knicks fan till some unwanted changes

 

[iFR3SHi]

[Dagameplayer]

I started liking the NBA back in 1993 and was a Bulls fan from then until Jordan retired. Along the way I began to like the Combination of Shaq and Kobe so I had to teams. The Lakers and the Bulls and once MJ retired the lakers was my new number 1 team and that's still my favorite team today.

 

[Devlin]

Ive liked the Lakers since 2000, since I was 8.

[bballinyao06]

I've been a fan ever since I was in the 4th grade and I developed my love for the game. I've been following the NBA ever since then.

 

[BALLAHOLLIC]

I guess I started watching the NBA later than most people here.

 

[coyn3burglar]

I started liking basketball when i was in 4th grade but I really started to like the NBA in 6th grade...i was a big Iverson fan back then....how old was I....I think I was 10. I'm 16 now.

 

[wolverine30]

I started following basketball since grade 4 but before that I was a soccer fan.

 

[BuLLzDoMaIn]

well i always liked basketball. but only keep track of bulls no one else..... I started caring about EVERYBODY and TEAM about 5-6 years ago

 

[CelticBalla32]

Started falling in love with it at age 9-10.. by 11-12 I was following the Celtics like crazy... by 12-13 I was following the entire league like a hawk and I never looked back.

 

[Devlin]

I was a NBA fan, I had like an equal liking to every team, until my brithday when I developed my love for Kobe Bryant, in the form of an Authentic Lakers Alternate Jersey...Been obsessed ever since.

My favorite team was the Celtics because my older cousin always brought video tapes for me of Celtic games and I became a huge fan of the game. Then I started following the Wizards because of MJ and because they're the hometown team. I dont like the Celts anymore, but I do admire them as a team and Pierce is one of my favorite players.
