I’ve always wondered how can someone in LA be a clippers fan instead of a Laker fan. Can one of you brehs explain this to me?

A lot of people are born into fanbases.

How are you born into Clipper fandom though?? Like, which sucker in your family decided to be the one to root for the Clippers.

 

[MJ Truth]

I would like to know why someone signed off on LA having TWO basketball teams.

Seems almost as dumb as a city having two football teams

LA is big as hell breh, that’s why. Same reason New York always has so many teams.

Idk im pretty sure Franky Muniz did a story on it before though

One of these teams has James, the GOAT player, playing for them. The other team has LeBron. Do the math.

Some mysteries will forever remain unexplained

Nah but more seriously Clippers have had some fun teams over the years, perennial underdogs, I guess some people are contrarians and don't want to root for the bigger team, cheaper access to the arena...

Same shyt as being a cubs fan instead of a white sox fan.

It's usually someone that wants to be edgy and against the grain. I got a boy that's a Clipper Fan and he was always on that shyt growing up, he used to listen to punk rock and was a fake skater for awhile too

Clippers have been a solid team since the 2012 season. That’s 13/14 years now. This ain’t the old 80’s, 90’s and 00’s Clippers that were bottom feeders.

Enough people to support them
I mean LA even has two hockey teams, pretty much. Two baseball, basketball, football and hockey teams.

New York pretty much has/had that too with the Devils playing in East Rutherford for so long.

New York's hockey teams are the islanders and rangers...

NYC has 3 with Rangers, LI( which played in Brooklyn for a spell) , and the Jersey team.

Isn't that more about being born on the north or south side of Chicago

 

[Chris Cool]

They didn't really exist before lob city.

The Islanders are interestingly further away from NYC than the Devils are/were, particularly when the Devils played in East Rutherford. East Rutherford is where the New York Giants and Jets play.
