Why is it acceptable for NBA fans to root for different teams every few years?

Like a couple other posters said, the NBA is a players league and it markets the individual players more than the actual teams.

Many fans even admit that. They'll tell you outright they follow a player more than any team. Can't tell you many times I used to hear nikkas say "I'm a Shaq fan. Wherever he goes, I go". And of course Bron fans were the same.

I'm not with that shyt, I can only be a fan of 1 team and 1 team only (Nets :mjcry:). But I'm done telling others who they can and can't root for :manny:

because it's not that serious

and i root for individual players anyway, not organizations. Although I obviously like some teams more than others (T'Wolves and Celtics because of KG)

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 :manny:

nikkas be living in New Mexico swearing loyalty to New York organizations n shyt :mjlol: 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...

Because it's much harder for NBA teams to rebuild than NFL teams and the parity is out of whack

In football a Giants fan and a Eagles fans can banter with each other every year

Could you imagine how boring it would be for 2 people who root for the Knicks and the Sixers to try and talk trash to each other?
