I hate to be a someone who jumps on a bandwagon but I think I might be a fan of the Heat now.

I should not have to go through my 20's being a Knicks fan. It was incredible back in the mid to late 90's when I was a teen, now I don't feel the Knicks can propel without a superstar.

I find young people are a lot easier to jump ship. The young generation seems to follow the players and not the teams. The sports owners probably created this culture as they moved players around like chess pieces to the point where this generation feels like "I've got to get mine". Most young people today are more interested in what the company/country can do for me NOT what can I do for the company/country. It's almost an entitlement attitude.

Old school folks think your selling out. Your leaving your wife for the young skank. The "for better or worse", means nothing for the bandwagoner. They just want to be entertained. They have more passion to making money then passion for the game. Very similar to Lebron.

Wtf. You should keep that for yourself. It sounds ridiculous.

jjgold · 07-11-10, 11:30 AM

Best show in nbA

76ersphan · 07-11-10, 11:38 AM

Im a Toronto Blue Jays (27 years), Los Angeles Kings (22 years) and Minnesota Vikings (12 years) fan so you cant say I follow only winners

Umm sure we can.. in fact.. that's exactly what YOU are saying... Why aren't you a fan of all those teams for the 27 years? a Kings fan for 22 years.. umm that means in 1998 you switched.. hey, look at that.. that's when Gretsky joined. A Vikes fan for 12 Years.. hey look at that 1998.. the year they went 15-1... have fun with the Heat.. you and every other fake fan. You should have had your wife buy you a Yankee hat too.... they must be next.

He's a sports groupie... Probably left his panties in a few locker rooms.

Might as well jump on the Saints & Yankees while you're at it. It's all good .. . .... .. .... ......... what ever floats your boat.

I'm on the banwagon now. I hope they can add AI to the team.

76ersphan · 07-11-10, 12:13 PM

I just assumed he was a Canadian and started switching slowly.. now that i think about it.. and I hate to think about this.. 27 years ago would be when Joe Carter hit that awful home run in game 6 of the WS. Sooo.. either this guy is a troll or he's at home with a saturn in his driveway, smoking crack and drinking "new" coke.

seaborneq · 07-11-10, 01:42 PM

Always root for the winning team. You will never be hurt again.

lunchbawks · 07-11-10, 02:13 PM

raptors might actually make the playoffs this year without bosh.

hoopster42 · 07-11-10, 02:20 PM

first subforum post of the day

krk1030 · 07-11-10, 11:17 PM

Heat have the worst fans.

zogdog · 07-11-10, 11:23 PM

The Heat are going to be a lot of fun to watch, but it has to be hard to say that you are a fan of the way this was probably all planned.

Also, I hate the ring argument even more now. All these guys are going to end up with a bunch of rings, but their full talents aren't going to be utilized or displayed because they aren't going to need to be displayed.

It saddens me to think we've already seen the best of LeBron James and Wade, now they're going to be like the Celtics big three and sacrifice great individual performances for rings.

carbonero77 · 07-11-10, 11:27 PM

i am a Uruguaian fan team of soccer team in word cup, after loose, loose and loose again in the past this year almost won the title,,that´s fan

76ersphan · 07-11-10, 11:50 PM

well if you had won.. he would be a fan of them too... so, it's not all bad.

not me , heat will be the team to beat next season but Lakers will still the best , a 3peat would be nice

2daBank · 07-12-10, 01:48 AM

all you heat fans do me a favor and hammer them every game no matter the spread, damn those 14 points you got Wade. Bosh, and all Mighty Bron, bet with confidence.......

i would dislike any team that had kobe, tebow, or calipari coached.

Same here with the addition of lebron james, the mighty king and God's gift to mankind. I am also now a Cavalier fan.

NYSportsGuy210 · 07-12-10, 02:55 PM

Get this tool off his thread chat. His opinions on this site shouldn't even count after the statements he makes. Bandwagoners have no say on SBR.

The saddest part was when he said "Go Heats go!" (Heat isn't a plural lol)

superman613 · 07-12-10, 10:38 PM

Raps fan here and sticking with them...should be good enough to make the playoffs next year as i think they will be better without bosh....and come playoff time i will be cheering for everyone vs the heat if lebron is as good as he says he is well then why not stay in cleveland and win one with his team insead of joining an all star tean, regardless even if he does win his rings i wouldn't put him over the jordan's and bryant's who did stick with there teams to get the rings and didn't jump ship and go elsewhere

ugadawgs · 07-12-10, 10:41 PM

i have conflicting opinions.....i was born in atlanta and hav e been a life long atlanta fan in all sports, but i recently got tranferred to houston.......is it wrong for me to root for houston now? i do.......but not sure what i would do if they played each other in some really meaningful game like a playoff

thoughts?

Unless you're a Mormon you're not allowed to support more than 1 team. Federal Law, case closed.

I was born in Cleveland and have been a life long Cleveland fan. I too now live in Houston and although I can cheer for Houston sports, my heart will always be with Cleveland. If Cleveland plays Houston then I want Houston to lose. Pretty simple.

blueghost · 07-12-10, 11:25 PM

a true bandwagon jumper are you..stuck with my TIGERS after they lost 100 plus games ..then take the AL and went to the world series didnt win there but it was sweet to see something you will never enjoy

antifoil · 07-13-10, 01:07 AM

two words

go heats go

million2one · 07-13-10, 11:25 AM

I'll root for anyone except the Heat.
LeFraud James is basically saying he can't win by himself.

Whatever you call your home town that is the team you should root for there is no jumping to another team, that is not real fandom and something kids do.

Go Sixers!!

Little problem my friend. I live in Ottawa in Canada so unfortunately the only sports team we have are the Senators NHL. Therefore I have no choice but to cheer for teams away from my home.

Ratzz · 07-13-10, 04:12 PM

LAkers are DEAD. Heat just picked up Miller... shot .480% from 3pt line for EnTIRE season,
shot .63% from field (season) only two guys ahead of him were 7'Ft. Centers.. they are an across the board threat, no guarding any of them... they're an All-Star Team by themselves.. they could take the West All-Stars and do well
