Who are the teams everyone here follows?

I am a Lakers fan which is working out well with having Clarkson and Brown there.

Carroll is easy to pull for he is a fun player to watch. I know it will not happen since they are focusing on a big but I would love for the Lakers to go after him.

Same.

I watched 1.5 of the Finals games. That's it for the whole year.

I didn't tune into NBA Finals unless game was close in 4th quarter.

The '80s and '90s were the Golden Age for the NBA to me.Marv Albert and Mike Fratello calling Bulls/Pistons or Bulls/Knicks on NBC was as good as it got.Ever since ESPN got TV rights, and the game changed, I have become less and less interested.Thank God the NBA is finally over so ESPN will shut the hell up about it.

I watch the Clips and Lakers sparingly.

I watch college basketball even less.

I became a Thunder fan when they moved to OKC because that's the closest geographic location to Kansas City. I follow the NBA but not as closely as college football/basketball, MLB, and NFL.

I don't think I've kept it on an NBA game for longer than 30 seconds.

Nope, I can't stand all the non-calls for walking. What a joke league. There are some incredible athletes. After they leave Mizzou, I just wish them the best.

When I was a kid, it was the 1973 NY Knicks. HOF's Dave DeBusschere, Willis Reed, Bill Bradley, Walt Frazier and Earl "The Pearl" Monroe. What a team!!! And I've always disliked anything NY except for these guys.

Lol.

It's proven that those "non-calls" are correct non-calls.

If you're going to drill down into the nuts and bolts, NBA is a better product than CBB.

The constant killing of the flow in CBB has driven me away. The refs fricking suck.

Watch a YouTube video from the Norm years, the flow of the game is beautiful. He'd be ejected from every game now. For arguing with the refs for clogging up his game plan.

Norm understood the flow of the game, when he had his guys, those were fun teams to watch.

I don't believe it. The reason I only watched 30 seconds of the finals was because I turned it on, they inbounded the ball, there was no pressure. The guy just started walking with the ball. Literally 4 steps and then was like, "Oh yeah, I got to dribble." Turned it right off.

The NBA has gotten better the past few years. After Jordan retired teams tried playing the way the Bulls and Jordan did. Lots of ISO basketball.

The last few years with teams like San Antonio, Gilden State, & and Atlanta have really improved the product.

The offensive flow for those teams is really good. Spread the floor with skilled players.

I think it has gotten worse. The players don't care very much in the regular season. The refs/rules have become so offense based/centric that I think it waters down the quality of the game. Not many players play real defense because they know the offensive player can walk, push off, flop, and still get called for a defensive foul.

Also, Iso ball is terrible. Might as well just throw one guy out there and play 1 on 1. I loved Jordan, and the bulls did a lot more than just Iso. Not to mention there was actually defense back then.

Spurs and Hawks play good basketball. A few others do, but there are quite a few teams that are unwatchable IMO.

If I were a fan of any team in particular, I would say the Bulls. However, I am a huge LeBron fan. Have been intrigued with him since I was in high school. The things that guy has achieved thus far is nothing short of spectacular. Always thought he was a victim of unfair criticism. Only thing I didn't like is how the "Decision" went down.

Hey now, I was a fan before he ever stepped foot in the NBA... I honestly don't understand why he is so hated...
