I can understand rooting for a particular organization when you actually live around there
But if there arent any big teams close to where you're at i dont see the problem in stanning a player
nikkas be living in New Mexico swearing loyalty to New York organizations n shyt

just to claim that they're "true fans" of a front office
And also i think it takes WAY longer for a basketball team to turn around than other team sports, we see football squads look completely different season to season, basketball is a longer grind imo...
