Hey all,

I’m new to the NBA and basketball, and I’m trying to get into it this season. I keep hearing about rivalries, what are the biggest ones I should know about? Also, any tips on which team and how to pick a team to support would be awesome!

Thanks!

    Awesome, welcome to NBA fandom! The most natural is gonna be to follow the teams of your fave players. Eg if you got into the NBA bc of the Olympics, which players did you enjoy watching the most?

    Outside of that, I recommend picking a team that’s at least half decent, their records last year should be a rough indicator of that… not fun to root for a team that had no chance of making the playoffs and might actually be incentivized to lose more than win in the regular season (read up on “tanking”)
