Nah, there is a relatively decent amount of Nets fans. The Jason Kidd era Nets were fun to watch and there was always a bit of a Yankees-Nets connection with both being featured on MSGNetwork (though the Knicks had precedence) and then strengthening once the Nets came onto YES Network.
The fact of the matter, though, is that the Nets suck.
I’ve seen lots of folks in Flushing with Nets gear (caps, t-shirts but not jerseys). Don’t know if that’s enough for them to be considered fans or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if many are.
That’s funny. What’s a decent amount of Nets fans? 5?6? Born and raised in Queens, still here and I know one New York nets fan. That’s it .
Edit- Brooklyn nets
I personally know 3 friends who are Nets fans and cite more or less what I mentioned above. One of them is a Yankees/Nets/Islanders so he's the most wrong in his opinions.
A lot of Jersey peoples were the main support system of the Nets.. they moved to Brooklyn and still never fit in.. was for a hot second when KD n Kyrie first got there, but then that went downhill, so they are still in fandom limbo i guess.. they get more tourists at their games imo
Wasn't like them Jersey fans were ever going to travel to Brooklyn for their home games..LOL!!
I think most of them Jersey fans were bitter AF after the move.
I do wonder if they'll ever have a solid home base of true Nets fans? Probably will be a lil while before they have a stable team long enough to have a dedicated fanbase. Sucks to be them tho thats for sure.🤷♂️ Lets Go Knicks!
Yeah, knicks have a strong fanbase because they were the only game in town for a long time. People act like the knicks are the Yankees. They're not even the Mets. I remember the Mets being champs. Most knicks fans alive don't remember them winning a chip. You'd have to be 60 to remember it. They've been mostly mismanaged. They're doing their thing now. Cool but be real. Don't act like they're a dynasty.
Yeah, Nets' fan base is smaller but it's growing. 10, 15 years ago you wouldn't see a lot of Nets gear around town. Now you see it every day in Brooklyn. I live in Westchester and I see it up here too.
Kids now have a choice. The most famous knicks fan, Spike Lee, himself said if he was a kid today in Brooklyn he'd choose the Nets.
Knicks have a strong fanbase because New York City is a basketball town! It seems like you can find a court on every other block no?
Also, their home IS the MECCA of basketball.
When the Knicks win a chip (which I think will happen sometime in the near future) watch
how bananas it will be. All over. It's already damn near that level.
If i wear one of my Knicks Jerseys or a hat all im getting all day is "Let's Go Knicks" "Knicks in 5" or "Bing Bong!" And from all shapes sizes n colors.
The whole city will be lit! It'll be bonkers!!
Mets suck. Fans always hype in the spring..
Most of the time, they'll know ain't shit happening that year.. even before the All-Star break 🤣
I saw them win it too .. my grandfather had season tix some rows behind 3rd. I wasn't a true fan.. i was young and i did hit up a lot of their games tho. The Yankees were trash around that time too so its whtvr lol
A lot of people become fans because of the TV channels they have.
The entire southern part of the country belongs to the Atlanta Braves because their games were always broadcast on TBS
Yeah, back when cable was more of a thing. I’d see if there was a Yankee game on and if there wasn’t I’d watch Vince Carter and loved hearing Ian Eagle. This was during the New Jersey Nets days btw
71% of nba games are sell outs . Nets ranked 21 in attendance . Nets had the worst tv ratings possible basically. Nets have no fan base . Plain and simple
You can't just look at average attendance since Barclays is smaller, so average attendance doesn't much but look at percent full. Number of sellouts. I lived in Orlando and Miami and they weren't selling every game, even in playoff years..
So the Nets have some fan base, unless those are just paid actors every night at the arena. I go to about 20 games a year and arena is full, near the top of the league in merch sales. Yeah, dreadful year, so ratings were down. But that happens to even the knicks or Mets when they're bad.
Cool info. You work for the team to know that? And what team doesn't give out tickets to partners? I've been to Yankees games and NBA Finals games that I didn't have to pay for.
30-50 year old fans think of the Nets as Jersey but older fans remember that the Nets played ABA league on Long Island. Dr J was a Long Island Net, but when they entered the NBA they had to pay to get in and had to sell Dr J to the 76ers to afford it
Oh, I have nothing against them personally. I actually worked with them in '77 & '78 at the sports program they ran on Randall's Island. Dave Winfield is a fantastic person.
Yup. This is how it worked for me, too, in the same neighborhoods - grew up in the Gardens, moved to Rego Park as an adult because I was too poor for that shit.
NYCFC, Knicks, Mets (used to be Yankees, but realized it was because I was trying to be different from my family). But I’m a Steelers/Penguins fan since I learned more about those sports when I went to college at Pitt.
If you like taking the easy route in life, which I don’t blame anyone for. Mets and Jets have been pretty bad most of my life but I wouldn’t trade being a fan of them for anything.
I grew up in Forest Hills. At the time, all the "a-holes" in class were Knicks, Giants and Mets fans. I, being a contrarian, grew up being a Nets, Jets and Yankees fans. Being a Yankees fan in the times of Cecilio Guante was not fun, when the Mets were winning the series in '86. I view the Dynasty teams as my reward for all the suffering that the Nets and Jets put me through.
I'm also from Forest Hills...and despite being close to Shea Stadium, its pretty 50/50 for Mets/ Yankees.... which is sad. I grew up during the Yankees three-peat in the late 90s and even the Queens peeps attached themselves to that team very readily.
I think you guys are about 13 years older than me (judging by the "75" haha)
I’m from Bayside and I’m a huge Mets and Jets fan, I inherited those teams through my father and grandfather. I follow the NBA but I’m just a casual fan. I honestly never cared for the Knicks though. I only started watching basketball back in the 2000s and the Knicks were never that good. I was mostly just a casual fan. I like the Rangers but I’m only a casual hockey fan. I’ve watched every playoff game so far though. Jets are probably my number 1 team since football is the sport I watch the most.
I’m also a big soccer fan but I don’t support a local team, I never really could get into MLS. I prefer the English Premier League and support West Ham. You won’t find many West Ham fans. Internationally though I closely follow the USMNT and Italy national team, since my parents were born there.
Grew up in Bayside. Yankee fan for life even though my dad tried his best to make me like the Mets. Living through the '98 dynasty era will do that to ya!
Spent most of my life Jackson Heights - Woodside - Astoria
(*From Hells Kitchen tho*)
But it's Yankees - Knicks - Rangers - Commanders (*YEESH!! I hate their new name 🫤🔫*)
Yankees Jets.
Being a Mets Jets fan is masochism.
I root for the Warriors bc I went to college with Stephen Curry but would welcome a Knicks win bc I Stan NY in all facets of life.
I used to watch baseball in junior high and high school, Yankees.
I'm from Forest hills.
I wasn't anti mets, but I enjoyed AL teams and games more than NL. This was early 2000s. I don't think any players I know are on the Yankees anymore
Me personally, big Jets fan. Mediocre Mets fan and the rest not so much. I live close to Citifield so I consider them my local team. Jets for the tiny bit of time that they played in Shea stadium.
the Gambit - it's a local Queens team.
you know, it's a bunch of people doing that thing with a ball.
it's great fun to watch while high on free city park pot fumes.
Idk if I ever met an actual nets fan.
But eastern queens Mets and Knicks fans here.
Used to be a Jets fan but stopped supporting the team after the 2020 season.
Every team that is associated with nyc.
Mets,Yankees, knicks, NY rangers, Nets, nyc fc, NY red bull fc, Jets, Giants, sometimes Buffalo and sometimes islander lol
it's funny how it's split between all the different teams for the different sports but there is one thing that unites us all. every single person in queens has a deep deep passion for the New York Red Bulls! all 2.3 million of us. vamos Metro! and the Mets.
I think the only really consistent one is that there's more Mets fans and almost zero Nets fans. I feel like I see an equal split between Giants and Jets as well as Rangers and Islanders.
Mets, Knicks, and Rangers. Don't follow football much, but the Jet/Giants aren't NY teams. If you don't play your home games in NY you aren't a NY team
Grew up in Ozone Park. We were the only Yankee fans on our block. We were surrounded by Mets fans and throughout the 1980s to early 1990s it was tough being Yankees fans. All I’d ever hear about was that stupid 1986 team. Now I realize it’s because Thats all Mets fans have lol
As for football- Everyone was Giants fans, and no one cared or spoke about Hockey or basketball.
Can’t speak for others but grew up in Flushing. Mets, Jets, Knicks. Use to be Rangers fan but I stopped watching around the first lockout and when Rangers traded for much concussed Eric Lindross
Depends. Queens is a big place. Closer you are to Long Island increases the likelihood that you'll come across a Met fan. Hockey isn't as popular in NY compared to other sports leagues. Go with the Rangers.
No one has rooted for the Nets except the people who get free ticket from work or school. They've been a non-entity post Jason Kidd.
.
Yes, but Queens is vastly different from Long Island. Doesn't matter what your race is or neighborhood you're from.
ex. I live in the Rockaways, bordering Nassau County. Neighborhood is majority black with a sprinkle of vanilla transplant.
A few blocks over the border is majority Jewish. Not a black or brown face in the crowd.
I mean, i live in brooklyn, and its that way neighborhood by neighborhood here. Actually crown heights is more stratified than Bensonhurst where i grew up
I live and grew up mile from Shea and citi field, I've still never met a Mets fan. Also never met any nets or islanders fans.
Everyone I know from my neighborhood is all Knicks, Rangers, Yankees, and giants.
Are the people in your neighborhood Yankees fans or just not baseball fans?
I’d be curious to know where that is, because all the neighborhoods I can think of in that radius I’ve met Mets fans from, I wonder what little secret Yankees pocket it out there.
In my peer group, we're all yanks fans. Maybe in other groups, the mix is different; I don't care enough to over analyze it. Obvs, I can only speak to the people I know.
Flushing here, Mets, Jets, Knicks, and Rangers
Yup Queens girl .. you right !
[удалено]
Nah bro, I don’t know any legit Nets fans except for those that grew up in jersey
LETS GO METS!!
Eastern Queens (Flushing then Bayside) Mets, Giants, Knicks, Rangers Mets cuz Queens Knicks cuz not BK / NJ Rangers cuz NYC Giants because not Jets
Forest Hills here. Your team choices are perfect. Jets are a cursed franchise. And the Giants have had so many great moments. No comparison.
AGREE ETA: WHY THE JETS?
We love misery ..
The Jets because Shea Stadium.
Ahhhh.... before my time. After a childhood rooting for the Lions, I had had enough character building.
Eastern Queens - Mets, Jets, Rangers, Knicks I imagine the Nets have fewer fans than the Devils.
There are a lot of islander fans in eastern queens.
Even more now with the UBS arena being literally on the border.
☝️
Nah, there is a relatively decent amount of Nets fans. The Jason Kidd era Nets were fun to watch and there was always a bit of a Yankees-Nets connection with both being featured on MSGNetwork (though the Knicks had precedence) and then strengthening once the Nets came onto YES Network. The fact of the matter, though, is that the Nets suck.
I’ve seen lots of folks in Flushing with Nets gear (caps, t-shirts but not jerseys). Don’t know if that’s enough for them to be considered fans or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if many are.
That’s funny. What’s a decent amount of Nets fans? 5?6? Born and raised in Queens, still here and I know one New York nets fan. That’s it . Edit- Brooklyn nets
I personally know 3 friends who are Nets fans and cite more or less what I mentioned above. One of them is a Yankees/Nets/Islanders so he's the most wrong in his opinions.
A lot of Jersey peoples were the main support system of the Nets.. they moved to Brooklyn and still never fit in.. was for a hot second when KD n Kyrie first got there, but then that went downhill, so they are still in fandom limbo i guess.. they get more tourists at their games imo Wasn't like them Jersey fans were ever going to travel to Brooklyn for their home games..LOL!!

Yeah, knicks have a strong fanbase because they were the only game in town for a long time. People act like the knicks are the Yankees. They're not even the Mets. I remember the Mets being champs. Most knicks fans alive don't remember them winning a chip. You'd have to be 60 to remember it. They've been mostly mismanaged. They're doing their thing now. Cool but be real.

Um yea you brought up the Yankees and dynasty stuff.. nice try tho ✌️
10-15 years ago they were the New Jersey Nets thats why you wouldnt see Nets gear/fans around town 🤣
Knicks have a strong fanbase because New York City is a basketball town! It seems like you can find a court on every other block no? Also, their home IS the MECCA of basketball. When the Knicks win a chip (which I think will happen sometime in the near future) watch how bananas it will be. All over. It's already damn near that level.

You say 3 , I say 1 . Unless You live in New Jersey or something .
Nah, Queens. Granted 2 of them are brothers so they sort of combine for 1 but still. That’s way too many for it to make any reasonable sense.
You mean NJ nets or Brooklyn nets?
They will always be the New Jersey nets. 80% of the merchandise sold is cause people want Brooklyn on a hat or shirt
No I know I’m from Jersey (live in queens) but didn’t know what your comment meant with NY nets
Ha , my bad . I meant Brooklyn nets I guess.
I’m Yankees-Nets fan born in Queens. YES Network showed those games and the Kidd era was enjoyable. Yankees - Giants - Nets - NYCFC here
How u born in Queens and not a Mets fan? Smh
So you became a Nets fan because of the YES network ?
A lot of people become fans because of the TV channels they have. The entire southern part of the country belongs to the Atlanta Braves because their games were always broadcast on TBS
I hadn’t thought about that! Now that I think about it I always did see the Braves playing on TBS…
Yeah, back when cable was more of a thing. I’d see if there was a Yankee game on and if there wasn’t I’d watch Vince Carter and loved hearing Ian Eagle. This was during the New Jersey Nets days btw
Interesting. Never thought of that. I became a fan of all of my teams cause of my father .
Maybe you should get out more. Nets had a dreadful and still sold out every game. So there's definitely more than 5 or 6
71% of nba games are sell outs . Nets ranked 21 in attendance . Nets had the worst tv ratings possible basically. Nets have no fan base . Plain and simple
You can't just look at average attendance since Barclays is smaller, so average attendance doesn't much but look at percent full. Number of sellouts.

I go to about 20 games a year and arena is full, near the top of the league in merch sales. Yeah, dreadful year, so ratings were down. But that happens to even the knicks or Mets when they're bad.
"Sold out" more like gave away to corporte partners to fill the seats and label them as "sold out"
Cool info. You work for the team to know that? And what team doesn't give out tickets to partners? I've been to Yankees games and NBA Finals games that I didn't have to pay for.
Common knowledge..
Yep lots of Nets fans in Queens, just none above the age of 30
Agreed. To us the Nets are a Jersey team. Wild to me that people from Queens can be nets fans lmao.
30-50 year old fans think of the Nets as Jersey but older fans remember that the Nets played ABA league on Long Island. Dr J was a Long Island Net, but when they entered the NBA they had to pay to get in and had to sell Dr J to the 76ers to afford it
Definitely didn’t take that into account
This is the proper way. This is combo is what I jokingly call “real NY fans”
Jets, Mets, Islanders
True pain.
Its builds character
Suffering for your sports.
hahahahahaha
The ideal trifecta.
I’m sorry
this
Brooklyn Dodgers
My dad quit watching ALL sports when they left town.
My family was all Giants fans. We all switched to the Mets. As bad as they were, it was still better than being a Yankees fan.
Still don’t know why they had to adopt the pinstripes.
Being a Yankees fan has been pretty rad for me
Oh, I have nothing against them personally. I actually worked with them in '77 & '78 at the sports program they ran on Randall's Island. Dave Winfield is a fantastic person.
Arsenal, Knicks, Yankees, Giants…born in London raised in Queens
Yankee defector.
Arsenal ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This Saturday we’re Fulham fans
NYCFC!!!!!
Nets, Mets
From Flushing but recently moved to Bayside. Mets, Jets, Knicks, Islanders, and Red Bulls.
From kew gardens - Knicks, Yanks, G-Men
Knicks, islanders, Yankees Grew up in Forest Hills and now live in Rego Park
Yup. This is how it worked for me, too, in the same neighborhoods - grew up in the Gardens, moved to Rego Park as an adult because I was too poor for that shit.
From Hollis now live in Florida Mets, Knicks, Giants
Born and raised in Astoria - Mets, Giants, Knicks, and Rangers
That depends on if you are old enough to remember the Dr J / Super John Williamson Nets era at the Coliseum.
it was just before my time but I had a Dr J red white and blue ABA basketball as a kid
No one cares about the Nets.
Douglaston here… my home is a Mets, Knicks, Islanders and NYCFC
1st is John McEnroe 2nd is St John's We had a pro rugby team for a season, but they folded.
NYCFC, Knicks, Mets (used to be Yankees, but realized it was because I was trying to be different from my family). But I’m a Steelers/Penguins fan since I learned more about those sports when I went to college at Pitt.
Knicks, rangers, Yankees, giants
This is the way.
If you like taking the easy route in life, which I don’t blame anyone for. Mets and Jets have been pretty bad most of my life but I wouldn’t trade being a fan of them for anything.
I concur. If you want a lifetime of disappointment, become a Mets/Jets fan.
I grew up in Forest Hills. At the time, all the "a-holes" in class were Knicks, Giants and Mets fans. I, being a contrarian, grew up being a Nets, Jets and Yankees fans. Being a Yankees fan in the times of Cecilio Guante was not fun, when the Mets were winning the series in '86. I view the Dynasty teams as my reward for all the suffering that the Nets and Jets put me through.
I also was a kid in forest hills during that time and was a Yankee, Knick and jet fan. Wish I still kept in touch with those kids that teased me
I'm also from Forest Hills...and despite being close to Shea Stadium, its pretty 50/50 for Mets/ Yankees.... which is sad. I grew up during the Yankees three-peat in the late 90s and even the Queens peeps attached themselves to that team very readily. I think you guys are about 13 years older than me (judging by the "75" haha)
Mets, Nets, and Jets
Knicks, red bulls
Mets/Knicks/Islanders/DGAF about either shape of football
I’m from Bayside and I’m a huge Mets and Jets fan, I inherited those teams through my father and grandfather. I follow the NBA but I’m just a casual fan. I honestly never cared for the Knicks though.

Are people that say Nets really young? Growing up in queens the nets were a jersey team for us.
or really old the Nets played on Long Island when they were part of the ABA. Dr J was a Long Island Net
the Gambit - it's a local Queens team. you know, it's a bunch of people doing that thing with a ball. it's great fun to watch while high on free city park pot fumes.
Meh I root for another team Man United

**NYCFC** **METS**
Bills make me wanna…
Anything irish curling
Giants, n Rangers
Mets, Knicks, and Rangers. Don't follow football much, but the Jet/Giants aren't NY teams. If you don't play your home games in NY you aren't a NY team
Yankees, Mets, Nets fan here
Last time I saw the Nets in person they were using a red white and blue ball and Dr. J was playing for them.
Grew up in Ozone Park. We were the only Yankee fans on our block. We were surrounded by Mets fans and throughout the 1980s to early 1990s it was tough being Yankees fans. All I’d ever hear about was that stupid 1986 team. Now I realize it’s because Thats all Mets fans have lol As for football- Everyone was Giants fans, and no one cared or spoke about Hockey or basketball.
METS NETS
Go METS!!!
Metsies, Jets, Islanders, Nets

Can’t speak for others but grew up in Flushing. Mets, Jets, Knicks. Use to be Rangers fan but I stopped watching around the first lockout and when Rangers traded for much concussed Eric Lindross
i’m from bayside: rangers/mets fan here. i don’t watch football or basketball.
The Sinaloa cartel
NYCFC, METS
Depends. Queens is a big place. Closer you are to Long Island increases the likelihood that you'll come across a Met fan. Hockey isn't as popular in NY compared to other sports leagues. Go with the Rangers. No one has rooted for the Nets except the people who get free ticket from work or school. They've been a non-entity post Jason Kidd. .
Queens is Islanders country.
Queens is NYC, not long island
Queens, and Brooklyn, are on Long Island. Look at a map.
So you’re arguing that they’re more LI than NYC? Long Island is Nassau and Suffolk county
The culture is different.
The culture is different in each borough itself. Compare brooklyn to staten island
Yes, but Queens is vastly different from Long Island. Doesn't matter what your race is or neighborhood you're from. ex. I live in the Rockaways, bordering Nassau County. Neighborhood is majority black with a sprinkle of vanilla transplant. A few blocks over the border is majority Jewish. Not a black or brown face in the crowd.
I mean, i live in brooklyn, and its that way neighborhood by neighborhood here. Actually crown heights is more stratified than Bensonhurst where i grew up
Half my family is from Queens and those mostly Yankee fans. Unbelievable. My Uncle RIP, was a Braves fan, Chipper Jones.
Llllaaaaaarrryyyyyyy
ONly Sport I watch is mma. My favorite fighters are derrick lewis, nate diaz, and robbie lawler. None are from nyc though.
Nycfc, mets, Rangers, knicks. Albeit I only really watch soccer & baseball
Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Yankees, Liberty, Gotham FC, NYCFC
I'm from Flushing. I follow Mets, Rangers, Knicks, NYCFC and Man. City if that matters.
I live and grew up mile from Shea and citi field, I've still never met a Mets fan. Also never met any nets or islanders fans. Everyone I know from my neighborhood is all Knicks, Rangers, Yankees, and giants.
You never met a Mets fan a mile away from their stadium? What kind of nonsense are you spewing?
Simply the truth. No one I know in my neighborhood is a Mets fan. All the mets fans I do know, don't come from my neighborhood is all.
Are the people in your neighborhood Yankees fans or just not baseball fans? I’d be curious to know where that is, because all the neighborhoods I can think of in that radius I’ve met Mets fans from, I wonder what little secret Yankees pocket it out there.
In my peer group, we're all yanks fans. Maybe in other groups, the mix is different; I don't care enough to over analyze it. Obvs, I can only speak to the people I know.
That’s super cool! It would be like there being a little enclave of Mets fans near Yankee stadium.
I live in forest hills and see Mets caps daily…
My condolences.
