I currently live in France.

I lived in Seattle for 15-17 years.

I lived briefly in Houston, TX because my uncle had a business and I helped him for nearly 2 years. I like Houston and may plan to go there for grad school.

I honestly can't support Seattle for letting the Supersonics go to OKC (city leadership). I also dislike Seattle's general pinko, pseudo-fiscal moralist elitist hipster attitude. Google "Seattle Freeze."

I support the Houston Rockets. One of my favorite playoffs of all time was Houston's 95 title run. Clyde joining before trading deadline. beating the Suns after being down 3-1 and beating them in game 7. Sweeping the Magic after being down 15+ points in the first half of game 1.

Hakeem, Clyde, TMac, Harden are all amongst my favorite players to watch.

Born in Miami, but was a military brat, so I grew up in different places. When I got into watching the NBA around 1985, I lived in Maryland. I started off as a fan of Magic's Showtime Lakers. I only knew a few teams back then, but by the time I got into the NBA big time, 1987-88, I discovered this guy in Chicago wearing #23 tearing up the League.

I still liked Magic's Lakers, but MJ's Bulls pulled me away more and more. That's where the sportjames23 tag comes from--James is my last name (no relation to Lebron) and 23 is for MJ. Back in middle school, we made up nicknames for ourselves, so I came up with Sport James. By the time the internet came around, I used sportjames23 for usernames on various sports and video game boards.

Anyway, to this day, I remain a Bulls fan. Not as hardcore as I was during MJ's tenure, but still support my team. I still like the Lakers, and being from Miami (with most of my family still there) I'm partial to the Heat, too.

From the bay and am extremely optimistic about the future of the Warriors. I think Steph Curry is becoming more and more accepted as a true star. Always rooted against the Lakers, that's just the way it is. Am very excited about the new Arena coming to San Francisco in 4 years!!!!!!!!!! The Warriors made the 6th spot! Last time they made the 8th when they made the playoffs! 6th spot in the west is good!!!!

Born, raised and currently living 45 minutes from the city of Boston, MA.

I am a 100% Boston sports fan...Celtics, Red Sox and Pats beginning in the 1980s and coming around to the Boston Bruins in 2003 (before that, I wasn't a hockey fan at all). The only non-Boston team I pull for is the Providence College Friars (my alma mater) in all college sports.

From Chicago
Follow Bulls

I hate virtually every person on the team apart from Hinrich, and Butler. And it's been that way for a LONG time.

Watching them post dynasty has been very bothersome. So many dumb roster moves by our IDIOTIC GMs. Breaking up the dynasty a year or two early on top of matters doesn't help.

I was having a good time being a fan when Rose was on the floor, but even now I'm starting to not like him either with all the shit he's pulled this year with his recovery from injury.

Honestly, I don't know why I root for them. I'm a bigger fan of the game than I am of any one team.

Live in Australia. Have lived in London and Stuttgart when I was really young, hence I follow VfB Stuttgart and Chelsea in soccer. Seeing as many of you are American on here, you might not even know those teams, particularly the first.

Follow Miami in basketball since I can remember, and I just became a 49ers fan about 2 or 3 years ago. Don't like baseball, reminds me of a more boring cricket, and don't have an ice hockey team, although its fun to watch.

Born & raised in California, not in a major market. Became a Grizzlies fan as a young kid after Jordan's last year with the Bulls. Stuck with them ever since.

Born in the Bronx NY. Dad loved the Knicks so I loved the Knicks. Moved to Jersey when I was 9. Hate the Nets to this day then moved to Orlando. Still Love my Knicks but I'll watch a Magic game here and there.

Where do you play ball?
I haven't played in a month but I usually play at the College Estates park, right behind Channel Islands HS or at the school's gym.
