Neither one of us was alive when our team last won the Cup, so it's basically the same thing.

only the Lakers...born and raised in LA, first sporting event I went to was a Lakers game at the Forum with my dad

all other teams in any sport can suck it
 
Cavaliers: in all honesty they just happened to be the first team I watched on TV, just turned it on one day and there they were. It just so happened to be LeBron James' first game in the League as well, so I just looked them up on the Internet and the rest is history (though not well known or all that interesting tbh haha)

Man Utd: Dad's from Manchester and supports them and would probably disown me if I didn't support them too. A great club built on history and youth development, not just getting bought by oil money like Chelski and Man Shitty.

Fulham: relatively local to me, so the team I watch in the stadium the most. Nice little ground, nice little club. Always good to see a small club punching above their weight. Great manager in Roy Hodgson as well.
 
New Jersey Nets - I'll start this off by saying that despite the fact that I'm a New Yorker, I could never get into the New York Knicks. Even when they were good, with Ewing and those guys, Houston+Camby+Sprewell, and whatever else they had. No matter how much my dad had it on TV, I could never get into them. Then, I watched the Nets play. It was beautiful. Great defense, fast breaks, dunks, blocks, steals, crazy games, and all played with heart. Then, I look into the history - ABA champions, first great international player, going from complete crap to Eastern Conference Champions - oh, and plenty of SU players have been on the Nets - Coleman, Pearl, Douglas, Seikly.. It's almost like it was meant to be.

Syracuse Orange - I believe I was born an SU fan. My dad instilled that in me before I even came out of the womb. I've gone to at least 30 SU games in my life, I know I should've gone to more, but I'm lazy. I remember the days of John Wallace, Sherman Douglas, Etan Thomas, Melo. I root for every SU player that comes into the NBA - From Carmelo to Donte to Paul Harris - regardless of whether or not I liked them on SU, they're Orange regardless. I fucking love this team, and Jim Boeheim is the man. Hall of Fame coach still isn't nearly enough to describe how great he's been for Cuse, even when we've had off years.

Atlanta Braves - you know what? I'm not that big of a baseball fan. As casual as possible. Only root for this team once in a while. But, I started watching baseball in the time when they started being good. I like Chipper Jones, and he is still the man. But I don't care as much about this team as I do basketball.

Fulham are a great team, didn't realize you were a fan.

I didn`t realize a fulham fan can like the cavs :confused:.

Speaking of the Cavaliers, I remember in JBB the cavs fanbase was farely large at one point but now there`s probably only two over here.
 
New York Knicks - Born, raised in New York
New York Yankees - ^
Red Storm - I sorta go to the school
 
Los Angeles Lakers: When I was very little I would watch the NBA with my cousins and they would also tell me about this player named Kobe Bryant, and how he was the best in the world at what he did. So, every time we played an NBA basketball video game on the PlayStation 2, I would always choose the Lakers because of Kobe Bryant. And ever since then, I've been a fan of the team.
