I was a Rockets fan due to the majority of my family living there and the proximity. When the Hornets came to NOLA I instantly liked them as much as the Rockets. I now talk shite to my family who are all Rockets fans and have grown to dislike them.


Diehard Hornet/Pelican now

This is exactly my story. I was a huge Rockets fan during the Olajuwan era. When the Hornets moved to NOLA I slowly adopted them but pulled equally for the Rockets. As time passed and all the players I cared about from the Rockets retired or moved on, and I just flat-out always disliked Steve Francis, I drifted away and really fell in love with the Hornets. Now I still like when the Rockets do well but they're a clear second team for me.

I was a NBA fan growing up with no particular ties to any team. Jumped on board when they moved here.

IMO, regardless of where you live(d), if you grew up during the late 80s and early 90s, you have to at least like the NBA a little bit. No other professional organization during that time period was more appealing to kids than the NBA. If you weren't a fan of the NBA then, you didn't become a sports fan until later in your life.

I don't know how any of you were able to be fans of the Hornets when they first moved, including myself.
They were fun the first year, then you realized the team was full of a bunch of greedy dickbags that constantly sat out of games b/c of "injuries" or played in the games and gave piss poor effort b/c they were unhappy being in N.O.
Outside of P.J. Brown, frick the rest of those dipshits. The players were such a eyesore that you didn't even recognize how shitty the coach, owner and front office was.

Once CP3 got here, and after they came back from OKC, it was pretty easy to root for them if you were from around here and liked basketball.

Was a huge Clippers fan during the days of Maggette, Darius Miles, Quintin Richardson, Olowokandi, and Elton Brand, forgive my tastes, I was 10 and didn't know what good basketball was at the time. There was an ESPN show following them and fell in love with their story as all-time losers, with the horrible owner. Didn't like the Hornets, when they first arrived. I hated Baron Davis! After the mass exodus, it was really Dan Dickau and Lee Nailon, that made me a Hornets fan. More recently, my association to the Clippers has waned, they got a little bit of talent and then turned into douchebags.
