Best/Worst fanbases?

[CelticPride]

Which team do you think has the best fanbase? And the worst? I think the Celtics have the best I mean they have Ray Allen props in his return and then last years eastern conference finals game 6.... They cheered for te last 4 minutes of a blowout game. Before you say they're all bandwagon era think about this: they're still here aren't they? I think the worst is the Bucks, Lakers, or Heat. Keep in mind I know there are a lot of exceptions but lakers fans usually come off as jerks booing their own players who play for their cities and ty to win them chips, and heat fans are jerks to a fan of any other fanbase. I think the bucks fans just don't care tbh.

I'm not sure about other cities since I don't really watch other teams games, but Raptors I think could have one of the best fansbases if they're a winning team(as proven by the crowds they've had during their playoff years, especially the "Lets go Raptors..VC SUCKS" chants and the "HOOOOOOOOOWARD" chants), but if they're gonna be sucking 8 out of every 10 years, they can't really expect fans to be excited during those 8 years.




Don't take it as a bandwaggon fanbase, cause people do support Raptors all the time, they just don't pay the ridiculously high prices(prices that are only acceptable if it's a top 10 team in the league) for the tickets to watch what they know is a losing team, and paying prices only businessmen can afford(as seen by Raptor/Leaf games where most of the arena are businessmen in suits).

Not to mention the fact that they're "rebuilding" yet trading away their draft picks and not drafting safe(Raptors in no position to take risks on their draft picks).

It just sucks to see teams like Raptors sucking, when their fans could be some of the loudest in the league if the team was actually a consistently winning one. When none of your major franchises have won championships in 2 decades, it's hard to get excited for them.

This thread should go well.

No offense, this is just what I've observed living in various places and attending live events.

The Best:
San Antonio- The Spurs are a way of life in that area. It is no joke and the only fanbase that I would consider as rabid as Packer, Raider, or Steeler fans.

Golden St.- Never been to a game there but they travel well and support the team whether they are good or bad.

New York Knicks- Lived in NYC for four years and nearly EVERYBODY has an opinion on the Knicks good or bad. They were terrible when I was there and you heard about it all the time.

Dallas- Another fanbase thats serious about their team. Remember Playmakers?

Indiana- Really knowledgeable fans who travel very well.

Lakers- Annoying as crap but they really do have a huge national following.


The worst:

Miami- And it isnt even close to me. Bandwagoners to the tee. Going to a game in Miami is terrible. They look at you like an idiot for cheering!

Atlanta- Another fanbase who is terribly indefferent to its team. They could go 20-62 or 62-20 and there wouldn't be a difference.

New Orleans- I dont even think NO fans know that they have a team.

Best: Utah, Toronto, Indiana, G.S. San Antonio

Worst: Lakers: They only care about them when they're winning

I would of put New York in the the best tier had they not cheered MVP for a player on another team in a home game. That to me was unforgivable

All fan bases have both good and bad fans.

You either have a very unique way of spelling Miami Heat, or you committed a bad spelling error.
