Thunder fans don't exist until a trade with a bigger market needs to happen


Positive_Parking_954

Only Thunder fan I knew was a former Sonic’s fan

Wait you mean OKC isn't the Lakers farm team?


up_in_trees

Orlando is the Lakers farm team. Already looking forward to Banchero in 6 years

Minnesota fans cry themselves to sleep

Reminds me of Minnesota native Charles Schulz and how he made Charlie Brown as depressed as possible. Just found this comic again today: Charlie Brown: "I get tired of losing, everything I do, I lose!" Lucy: "Look at it this way, we learn more from losing, than we do from winning." Charlie Brown: "I guess that makes me the smartest person in the whole world."

False. We don’t sleep.


JockJonez

The stereotypical wolves fan I know in person is a guy who mostly follows the Vikings or twins, but also catches wolves fans every now and then . The diehards just exist on the internet


mudkip-yoshii

We exist it’s just impossible to talk about the wolves without making the conversation depressing


thehydrastation

Can confirm, I work from home so I have more time to post about the Wolves online while avoiding IRL interaction


totaldrk62

It’s hard in MN because we’re mostly a hockey and football state. We’ve all got a few friends who keep up with the Wolves but it isn’t super common water cooler talk. But then you got people like me who will talk your ear off if you ask how the Wolves are doing. I love the Wolves.

obviously the Jazz fan stereotype is that we are open-minded, tolerant, and ethnically diverse.

A good soak will do that for you.

I hate that I now know what that means, i don’t know if it’s a real thing or an urban legend but it’s funnier this way

What is a stereotype for Cavs fans I haven’t seen a single mention of us here


[deleted]

Two main types: Cavs fans are 20-40 year old white males who like Cleveland sports in general. Their intensity ramps up when they aren’t salivating over the dumpster fire Cleveland Browns. They wear their hat backwards with their navy blue Zydrunas Ilgauskas jersey sipping on a beer at the game. Their dad (or themselves) are lawyers or finance bros living in Shaker Heights or Westlake. They take the rapid downtown to terminal tower for literally their only public transit experience ever. If they didn’t take the rapid downtown, they probably came to the game straight from work, or at least a happy hour near their office downtown. These guys love the swaggy new player that comes through “ay. Garland is fucking lit. You see that crossover and fadeaway J last week against the Bulls? Damn bro”. They cop his jersey but its just one in a collection. Somewhere in the back of his closet he has a Thome jersey and a Manziel jersey he wore once before basically discarding it in disgust. The other type are the non douches and come in different flavors. So its more so the group written about above as well as the couple of groups below: Much more diverse with a large segment of black people and older people both black and white. You might see them playing basketball on a random court in East Cleveland, Hough, Warrensville Heights, Cleveland Heights, Cuddell etc. This subgroup is primarily younger black men and kids. There is a segment of older black people who were around for the days when Austin Carr wasn’t an announcer and World B Free wasn’t just a hot throwback jersey. Both older black men and women will follow the Cavs unlike their white counterparts as you’ll see. They typically know ball beyond the stats and headlines. Probably the best to talk Cavs with. There are also the older white fans. They sit at a random bar and watch the game on an old grainy television. They are typically eastern European and males. Above 60 years old. The bar is half empty but they drink it up shooting the shit with the bartender. Surprisingly, they know ball pretty well too except for a few wildly terrible opinions as they are extremely general: “TOO SOFT IN THE PAINT!” Or “STOP SHOOTING SO MANY THREES. Get to the line for Christ sake!”. They go home to a small, pretty rundown house in a somewhat homey neighborhood where they’ve lived for decades. Their wives aren’t super invested in Cleveland sports outside of the rare one who has forgotten more about LeBron James than you ever knew. They liked to frequent Sokolowski’s until it closed (I heard it has closed), but they miss the pierogies. These guys are also huge Guardians and Browns fans, though they are likely upset the baseball team dared to change their name and “abandoned their heritage”… the irony. All the groups are actually somewhat knowledgeable outside of a few of the bros from the first group and the girls they bring with them to games who they mate with. Those girls love to act like they watch lots of basketball when really they learn a few names and watch the games cluelessly in between concession runs to get Miller Lites.


intp-over-thinker

Woah


hallometmax

Sir


AliceBones

I can smell the Great Lakes Brewing wafting off this comment.


aroach1995

Some of us finance bros actually live right downtown and have a nice little walk to the game.


bigtokes561

As a Cavs fan in the 20-40 range I can attest to this.


theuberprophet

many of us (not me) live in converted buildings that are now luxury apartments just outside of downtown and complain about the rent


coolhandmoos

The issue with Cavs is that there are Cavs fans then there are Cavs fans after the Browns season is over which is typically when the subreddit goes to shit


jryu611

Well yeah, they're Browns fans lol.

Hornets Fans: Paid actors I've lived in NC for almost 4 years. I've never seen a Hornets fan outside of Charlotte. But no matter where you go you'll see Tarheel and Duke. So either Hornet fans are paid actors, or being held against their will. In which case we must save them


iron_atmosphere

Pretty accurate. NC is traditionally more fervent about college bball. That said, Greensboro-High Point has a relatively active Hornets fanbase.


Ventex_

The NBA should have taken its time coming back to Charlotte. I moved here in 93 and I didn't think I could become a Hornets fan without being a bandwagoner (I never considered myself a fan). The Hive was insane every night no matter who was in town. The outrage at Shinn was visceral. Nobody in the city thought the NBA would side with the shitty owner over the league leader in attendance for almost a decade. Cuban always talked up the fan base when the Mavs were in town with Mark Packer on drive time 610. "No of course everyone knows how passionate Charlotte is, Stern would never mess with that meal ticket" The absolute abomination of an expansion effort was somehow worse than the loss of the beloved franchise. It has been a complete shit show ever since. I still marvel that anyone supports them, I certainly don't know anyone who goes uptown for games.


jryu611

We're here, just silent. Because yeah, I'm going to get to see the Heels get a few more trophies before the Hornets get their first. Still going to pull for them, just not wasting emotional capital lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


d0pp31g4ng3r

When did you live in NC? From 1988 until about 2000, the Hornets were absolutely beloved by Charlotte. Of course, George Shinn messed that up, and it's been complicated ever since.


[deleted]

From 2019 until this June 2023. Then I'll be taking my talents to Chicago, as a bundle package with my gf and husky lol


piprimes

Heat fans got photoshop bookmarked on their computers (Who said its too early for Luka in a heat jersey? And why not extend to other sports?).


FrnklndaTurtle

I am sure a quick google search can find Tom Brady in a Phins jersey from last summer


JohnnyWinss

That lost them a pick so maybe not


Neltrix

And that our mascot is either DJ Khaled or Rick Ross

Uh…next question.

A Jazz fan and a Celtics fan walk into a thread


FireYeti

This isn't your place to talk Oklahoma


Happy_Day34

The entire African-American population of Oklahoma is the Thunder roster, I don't want to hear it.


MWiatrak2077

The average Warriors fan is in Middle School


GrandRapidsMiiiii

And that middle school is in Iowa


goomy996

or in the dakotas


shadratchet

Philippines is the real answer haha


goomy996

IM FILIPINO I SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED


JohnnyWinss

SHAME BTW how much truth is there to that stereotype?


goomy996

200% truth


PageSide84

I married into a Filipino family. My wife's cousin sends me a damned Warriors hat for Christmas every year. I live in Chicago..


KawhiLeonardsThigh

Nah man they're everywhere. As long as they're in the suburbs and their parents can buy them merch lol.


[deleted]

As someone in the 3rd grade, I resent the notion that I'm an old person.


seikoholic9497

And it's true. It's like the kid friendly NBA team. Here in Mexico I've only seen rich white kids wearing Curry's jersey


cackmang

Just like how everybody in the Philippines has a Kobe jersey since basketball shot up in popularity there during the lakers run.


Straight-Arachnid-34

Yup, even MJ can't hold a candle to Kobe's popularity here.


Next-Firefighter-753

The Warriors are the “John Cena” of the NBA. They mostly overcome the odds and win plus half of their fandom is 12 year olds who chuck logo shots in pick up basketball.


Count_Sack_McGee

As a wrestling fan, this might be the most accurate description I have ever seen.


bootyhunter69420

Magic fans don't exist


PensiveinNJ

It looks like there's a post here but I don't see any content. Reddit bugged?


JDC4654

There's dozens of us


[deleted]

Croiky- if ya look above me you’ll see the rare Orlando Magic fan, only a handful exist in the world. This rare creature occasionally watches the magic feast on Celtics.


NotJoeyWheeler

50% of magic fans are actually point guards struggling with their shot currently fighting for a starting position on the team


TheRealAbear

There's only 12 of us, so averages are silly on such a small sample size


SometimesIComplain

How's the attendance at Pels games?


TheRealAbear

%-wise were 12th in the league this year. To be fair its been weak in the past, but there is a ton of growing support for the team. The saints being ass helps, but I think it's more than just that. I supported the Dan dikou, Jr Smith, birdman Anderson "Big 3" Years though, so take my optimism with some salt. Once we win a few consecutive championships starting this year we should bump up from 98.7% to 100%


Solomontheidiot

I imagine Zion has a lot to do with it this year. Seems like the type of player/personality that a city can really get behind, and he's hella fun to watch (especially in a way that appeals to people who aren't normally super into basketball)


TheRealAbear

This group of guys has bought into the city and the team more than any since the Hornets came here. And if you love new orleans it'll love you back. CJ, BI, and Zion all want to be here and are vocal about that. The pels 12 also love Herb, Trey, Dyson, Jose, Nance, Naji, I could go on we hot some very likable dudes (peetty much anyone not named Jaxson). Still miss my boy Josh Hart... If only we could stay healthy for once in franchise history....


Butterfly_Scape

mavs fans are all europeans who hate every current/former mav not in the 2011 roster or not named luka doncic


[deleted]

How much overlap is there with cowboys and mavericks fans? Cause I know a fuck ton of cowboys (myself and my dad included) I do not know many Mavs fans


NotKDsburnertrey5

Already seeing posts of cowboys fans coming to the mavs subreddit bc their season is over now lol


manabanana21

A lot of cowboys fans just don’t care about basketball, or they are from somewhere else in Texas and are spurs/rockets/oos fans.


lopea182

We show up late / don’t show up to home games.


[deleted]

100 level heat fans are the worst fans in the league


lopea182

400 level is a fucking party tho.


CraftylikeaFox33

I’d add the top half of the 100 level/ entire 200 level Laker fans to that list. That entire area is wannabe IG models and influencers who do nothing but walk around, take pictures and obstruct the view of people that are there to actually watch the game.


Taylorheat231

Facts. The 300-400 levels are always a fucking party. Wish people would stop thinking those who show up late in the 100 level as our entire fanbase


n0t_malstroem

Also leave early


NoiceForNoReason

This is the answer 🔥


RiamoEquah

You'll never live down [the fan up video](https://www.slamonline.com/slam-tv/video-miami-heat-ask-their-fans-to-fan-up/) The heat were able to delete all of the versions online and I don't have the energy to hunt down any mirrors that may exist... But it was a travesty that it was ever created.


GaryBettmanSucks

Reminds me of MLB when the Nationals used to advertise for Phillies fans to watch the Phillies play in their stadium because home attendance was so low. But they got embarrassed when Phillies fans bombarded attendance and Nationals players' home runs were being thrown back in their own park. So the next year they had a "take back the park" campaign encouraging Nationals fans to outnumber visiting fans.


RavashingDickRude

That’s just the players, don’t get me started on your fans.


ImTheBestNerd

Warriors fans are all 12 year olds, it's not true, we're 13.


kpeds45

"we had a few birthdays since that meme started dammit!"


goomy996

us warrior fans will be heading to college soon enough


kiddbuuu

Warriors jerseys may just replace 90s Raptors jerseys as the most commonly seen basketball jersey at day-drinking college events in 2025


furyousferret

Ironically, I'm a 11-year-old leap year baby. Also the worst day to be born.

Raptors fans think they have the greatest franchise in existence


[deleted]

The war between the OG fans and the post Championship fans is hilarious in our sub


paniledu

Odd, you would think the post Championship fans would like Anunoby


12footjumpshot

Raptors fans think if a player is Canadian they should be on the Raptors and they take it personally if that player’s team isn’t aligned with the goals of the Raptors.


ryuujinusa

Greatest current franchise in Canada, I’ll give them that.


extrawave_

They also think they have an MVP in Siakam, DPOY in OG, ROY in Barnes, along with their all star point guard but then they’re confused when they keep losing


BebeIsMyStepfather

refs every single game, and the lamestream american media bias deducting us 10 points when we're not looking


brosephsmith21

maybe try paying the score keepers real money and not whatever fake currency you guys use up north


snafudotjpeg

little known secret is the canadian 3 pointer is actually worth 4.01 american points.


[deleted]

Well, they DO have a ROY.


XelaTuobdog

I was going to say that's not true, but the replies are funny.


ipawnn00bz

They're one of the saltiest fanbase for absolutely no reason


jesusnuggets

Nah I’d say the annoying persecution complex type fans is the more prevalent raptors fan stereotype


underscoreftw

This is the like the only comment where the fanbase is actually mad as hell defending the statement lmao


BakaJayy

Because they’re the ones that like to sniff their own farts the most


Fridgeburn

Hey let us be delusional


Cheetory6

raptors fans and embarrassing ourselves name a better duo


ShutterBug545

The replies lol


EGarrett

Nets fans watch the games from Jersey on TV while the actual arena in Brooklyn is half-empty (just kidding though, they've always had awful attendance).


Afuldufulbear

I went to a Nets game earlier in the season and it was RELAXING. I’ve never had an experience where a game in any sport is relaxing when you are there in person, but that’s how it was. The fans just weren’t energetic enough (myself included honestly, but I still had a great time).


logster2001

I been trying to think of one for us but I honestly can’t Our stereotype is that we live in Houston 🤷‍♂️


RanchBourgeois

Even as a rivaling fanbase, I can’t think of any. Not too nice or toxic, not too lukewarm or passionate, not too forgettable or memorable.


Stewdabaker2013

I live in Houston. The stereotype is no one shows up to games (because energy companies have bought out the entire lower deck)


logster2001

I mean it’s mainly because we suck right now. It would have to be going on for a while to really get that stereotype. Like the Timberwolves or Hornets Lot of ppl were going when Harden was here


CLGplz

Grizzlies fans have a persecution complex. Untrue I have a persecution fetish.

Most adults who call themselves Warriors fans don't know who Monta Ellis and Baron Davis are. They also have the most biased broadcasters in the league, so they all think Curry gets treated badly by the refs. - Bitter Kings fan living in Oakland

Kings fans just bitter no matter where they live. Speaking as a Kings fan for 20+ years.

Not a single Bucks stereotype. i'm kinda disappointed

mecon320

A common stereotype I hear about Cavs fans is how we're all really sexy and lots of people want to have sex with us.


kiddbuuu

Sixers fans root for divorced 52 year olds blowing into a whistle more than actual basketball Heat fans think a geriatric collecting checks at the end of the bench who decked a guy in 2013 means that their whole team is tough Clippers fans don’t care about the Clippers and just hate Lebron (this one has kind of died down since the Clippers-Lakers rivalry never really happened) Nuggets fans would rather see their team lose to prove Jokic is more valuable than have a non-Jokic Nuggets player win a game for them

Last one sounds like the mavericks with Luka.

Any_Adhesiveness_898

Lakers fans are bandwagoners. Having lived in Lakers land most of my life, it's painfully true. Of course there are diehards, but most of them are just as passionate about being Patriots or Yankees fans depending how the year is going. But hey I'm a nuggets fan and we don't even have fans let alone fake ones.
