Why did you start to watch the NBA

[Nets fan 93]

Gotta thank Jason Kidd

[Budadiiii]

Bob Cousy and Bill Russell.

I remember my father took me to a Celtics game when I was 11 years old. Cousy was incredible. Russell looked fantastic.

I've been mesmerized by the game ever since.

They were sitting in the stands together? That must have been what, maybe 5 years ago?

93 (when I was 10 years old). Fortunate enough to watch the last of MJ's 1st 3peat and everything else since then.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Because basketball.

Watching LeBron put up 40+ ppg against the Magic

one of the first NBA clips I saw was the Jordan layup vs the Lakers in the Finals...I became an instant fan.

It was during the Bulls Sixers semis I started following NBA religiously. My family used to watch Bulls games especially during playoffs, I watch with them everytime because there's nothing else to do. Slowly, I realized I was following the team especially MJ Pippen duo, became a fan. In school the talk is always MJ, so there it is.

Michael Jordan.

Parents were huge Lakers fans coming out the 80's and after Magic retired for good, Nick, Eddie and Cedric started it all for me. That was my Lakers Team I originally started watching. We were talented for sure , but weren't exactly good. Then Shaq and Kobe came in 96 and shit was never the same.

Still can't believe that core group of guys never won anything together. Van Exel, Jones, O'neal and Bryant. These days anyone would kill for a core like that.

Stared watching with the 2001 Lakers. Feel in love with TMac's game in 2002 and have been a fan since.
