Florida Gators - grew up around Gainesville and went to school at UF.
Orlando Magic - closest NBA team growing up plus Shaq and Penny.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - closest NFL team growing up until the Jaguars came around. Chose to stick with the pirates over the cats when I was a kid.
Atlanta Braves - most accessible baseball team that was nearest to me since every game was on TBS. Even when the Rays came around, I couldn't ever watch them in my TV market.

Chiefs, Royals, Mizzou football and basketball. Grew up in Missouri and rocked with the local teams.
Lakers - there was no local Missouri teams, was out in Cali in 89 and my aunt bought me one of them old graphic caricature Lakers tees. I was young enough that it made me a Lakers fan from then on. During the down years also rooted for teams with players I liked so hyped up the Bulls with Jordan and Heat with Zo.

NFL: Ravens.. the hometown team.. them days before we had Brian Billick 
.. I live in Arizona now… it is god awful watching the Cardinals… I tried to get behind Kyler as a black man/QB but I just don’t see it with him..
NBA: I became a childhood fan of the Phoenix Suns off the strength of Charles Barkley and I thought they had the dopest uniforms and home court in the league.. I damn near cried when they lost to MJ in the finals.. plus I don’t think anyone from Baltimore rooted for the Bullets /Wizards.. i could never find them appealing… not with wack nikkas like Calbert Cheney and Tim Legler
MLB: Well I’m torn between the O’s and the DBacks… I lived out here in AZ since 2006 and I’ve kind of taking a liking to them but I stay in tune with Bmore as well. Them 90’s Orioles teams were great times… they had good teams but could never ever beat the Yankees
College Football: Florida Gators… fam Maryland football had like one good year and I think it was like 2001… the Gators in the 90’s with the ol ball coach.. Danny Wuerfell Ike Hillard.. Riedell Anthony… them dudes were the actual team that made me like football… I hated college football before them cause I got tired of seeing mf’s running straight up the middle for 3 yards all day… Florida to me was the first team I seen air it out and nikkas had cool ass names.. to a lesser extent as I got in my 20’s I loved the U.. for all the reasons I loved Florida.. hated to see them both fall off so bad but my heart always goes to the Gators
College BBall: Maryland.. I just wish they never left the ACC.. i remember them Saturday afternoons watching Walt Williams.. Laron Profit.. Exree Hipp.. Keith Booth.. then the Steve Francis Juan Dixon days and then epic Duke battles

Not even exaggerating minus the Broncos (the team I hate the most in all sports), I like AFC West teams.
Rams, Raiders and Chiefs are main. Raiders and Chiefs are the teams my family cheers for. Been a Rams fan before they moved to St. Louis because they were a local team.
Lakers/Clippers/Chargers because they’re hometown. Chargers got knocked down because I liked them as San Diego more, they were my favorite sports team at one point.
Teams I originally liked when I got into the sport: Eagles and Timberwolves.
Teams I like because wifey from San Diego: Padres and Chargers. Not a Dodger fan, I probably like Anaheim more.

NFL-Cowboys, born and raised in Dallas so it’s pretty much a rite of passage been a fan for as long as I can remember.
NBA-Mavericks, based in Dallas and I grew up around the time Dirk dominated and won the city a ring so I’ve been a fan ever since.
MLB-Braves, random asl I know but I didn’t start watching baseball until high school and Ronald Acuna was and still is my favorite player, slowly started to follow them.
NHL-Stars, don’t really watch hockey but I watch them during the playoffs if they make it
NCAA- Texas Longhorns, longhorn fan ever since I fell in love with football. Something about them resonated with me and I’ve been a fan since. I also casually root for Oklahoma State cause my pops played football there and would take me to games.
