I’m a new basketball fan, trying to get into the sport, watching nba games and stuff, and as someone who’s completely new to the sport I’d like to know what you love about the game?
Do you watch for specific players? Specific teams? Why’d you choose to support your team?
As someone with no attachment, I’m finding it hard to choose a team to support. I don’t want to just choose the best, and don’t want to just choose the team I live near… I want to find a team I enjoy watching and supporting.

I will always be a Lakers fan cause it’s where I’m from and grew up watching them but I dislike the management and team choices they’ve made up until being on JJ as coach 🙌🙌

Besides being a fan there’s not to many to many sports you can just go down to your local park/gym and play and make new friends along the way as well
