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.

    It’s just nice watching players breakdown other players in creative ways. Seeing players shoot lights out, dunk, mix defenders and even lock players up is just nice.

    I watch Kyrie since he’s my favorite player. I don’t have a favorite team I just follow Kyrie

    I think you should start out by watching some nba games and checking out each team. At some point you’ll find you a team that’s entertaining and you’ll start to follow them

      Thanks for the advice! That’s what I’ve been doing so far. I like watching the suns play, and certain players like Jokic, Doncic, and Anthony Edwards are fun to watch. I’ll have to just keep checking out different teams until one grows on me.

      For some reason I like the pistons 😂 felt good to see them spank the bucks the other day.

        Imo pistons got nice young guys in Cade Cunningham, a rising solid center in Jalen duren, a solid guard in Jaden Ivy and good 2 way in Ausar Thompson. If they keep drafting well, they could potentially become a threat in the coming years

          They need some expert defense and they’d be set!
