Least popular NBA team?

[ZaaaaaH]

this. they have the second most post on their forum on realgm behind knicks board

So we basing Popularity on Realgm forum post?

Amazing how logical some kids are.

Again Basketball is World Sports now and no one besides fucccking Canada give a Raps asss and on top of that They dont give a fuccck about basketball so where the fuccck ya keep getting that Raptors is Popular around the World????

Outside of US no one give a Dam about the Raptors. Only time people actually cared about that team was when VC was around and people bought his jersey even tho they are not Raptor fans.

Bobcats is owned by fucccking MJ and just for that sole reason general people knows the TEAM Bobcat. They might be notorious for being bust but they are on the Radar for most NBA fans.

Imagine if the owners get their way in this lockout and we end up with NFL type parity. Think about a Minnesota vs Milwaukee finals.

So many posts mentioning the Bobcats and Bucks.

I always thought the Clippers would be the least popular team (historically and maybe not including the current Blake era)...

Most LA peeps would rather wear Lakers gear rather than Clippers'.

People who show at the Staples come to see the road team or they couldn't get tix to a Lakers game.

The name "Clippers" is generally lame if not bland and uninspiring.

Clips are always at the bottom of the standings and lottery bound.

and their owner Donald Sterling is a cheapo and overall $hitty owner.

I'd go with Bobcats, too. They have no history, no recent playoff success, and no superstars.
I'm surprised so many mentioned New Orleans. I mean afterall they have Chris Paul (who starts in All-Star games), and last year they met the reigning champions Lakers in the playoffs. Pretty sure currently they are more popular than a team like Pistons, who have more history, but were nowhere in the last couple of years.

I see dinosaurs in this thread.

For me Bobcats, no real stars, not a large market, nothing exciting might change when all their rookies start working together to get something exciting happening but until then, they are on the bottom

Bucks are pretty decent in terms of popularity worldwide, well compared to Raptors, Bobcats, etc.
Having Bogut helps them a lot as an international player, as well as his injury which was televised quite a bit. Having Jennings and his 55 point game also helped a large bit

Charlotte Bobcats. Sometimes I wish they just merge with the New Orleans Hornets.

What do you think is the least popular NBA team?

I don't simply mean attendance-wise, but in general, nationwide or even worldwide, which NBA team is least popular?

Some of the teams with the lowest home average attendance:
Pacers, Kings, Nets, Grizzlies, Hornets, 76ers, Timberwolves, Bucks, Hawks, Bobcats, Rockets

Die. Those guys are awesome.

The Raptors have one of the biggest fan-bases in the league.

this.

you 15 year old posters need to get a clue

[GreatGreg]

Lol @ people picking the Raptors. They just need another Vince Carter and a couple playoff visits and they'll be one of the most obnoxious fans on the board.

[JaskoX1]

Has anyone ever seen someone wearing a Bobcats' jersey? Ever?

because they're fugly?

[bdreason]

yeah but that's partially because their board has devolved into this weird 4chan-esque place that's more about stupid internet humor than the Raptors.

Or because the Raptors represent an entire country. Raptors have a ton of supporters on this forum as well.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Miami Heat. Everybody I know hates them. Pretty much anyone not from Miami hates them, or anyone who doesn't like LeBron hates them.

Pacers, Kings, Nets, Grizzlies, Hornets, 76ers, Timberwolves, Bobcats, any of these teams can count.

[Maniak]

Zaaah, do you really think anyone knows michael jordan's position with the bobcats?

Not at all. They know who Jordan is, but they don't know what hes done outside of basketball really.
