So your favorite team is who again???

LeBron James is the best player in the NBA currently, that’s a fact!  Anyone that wants to argue that can kick rocks…and I’m as far away from a LBJ fan there is. 
You can call it “old school,” but I don’t root for individual players but shockingly I root for teams.  I don’t have problems with fans that root for players and whatever team they play for, but I do hate those fans that pretend like they’ve been riding with that team since the outset!  The people I’m talking about know who there are, if not…then you used to be a “Bulls” (Jordan), “76ers” (Iverson), “Lakers” (Kobe), “Cavaliers” (LBJ) fan in some order.


There aren’t any specific written rules to fanhood, unless we count the Bill Simmons’ Laws, so I obviously can’t tell you how to be a fan. But being obnoxious about any of it is just douche-baggy. 
Throughout the NBA Finals, I’ve been seeing a huge swell in San Antonio fans, but they funny thing is these were the same people who were rooting on Golden State to pull off the upset!  Maybe I’m the one who’s being a douchebag about it all, but I can’t see myself flip-flopping with the wind. 
Hell, every time The Rock went heel in the WWF/WWE, I didn’t care b/c he was my favorite.
I find myself without rooting interest in these Finals because the Heat knocked out my Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, but there is no way that I turn my allegiances to San Antonio even if it is for 7 games!

Analytically, I believe the Spurs will win (I stated in 6 from the outset) because the have the better overall team.  Am I rooting for the Spurs to win...nope, I just want exciting games no matter the victor.
The NBA’s a players league, but I’ll I’m asking is that you stop playing “eenie meenie miney mo” with your “teams!”
