were you not a fan of any NBA team before 2002, when the hornets relocated from charlotte?
or did you just abandon your previous NBA team when the hornets moved to NOLA?

I was a casual NBA fan, followed the Magic because I lived in Florida for a little while during the Shaq/Penny years. I was an instant Hornets fan when they moved over. Didn't have enough allegiance to Orlando.

I actually was a Hornets and Shaq/Lakers/Magic fan before the Hornets moved here.
Loved Larry Johnson and Muggsy ...but I don't remember if I liked them before Space Jam or not...

Born and raised in NC, just happened to move here after they moved. Win/win.

Became a fan when they moved here. Before that was a (super)fan of the NBA in general.

My first basketball team was nicknamed the Hornets when I was 7, so I've always followed them somewhat. I was also a Bulls fan in the 90s.

I just liked basketball. I was all over the place. Then I went to a few games that first year and it was a lot of fun. Since then I keep following them and here I am now.

I didn't realize what the NBA was if you want to know the truth. I just heard about it in 2002 when these assholes relocated and displaced my favorite team in all of sports . . . the New Orleans Brass. But, as a consolation, I was given first crack at center court tickets because I'd been a Brass season ticket holder. See, the Arena worked that way. It was a pretty good deal. Anyway, I looked into this NBA thing and realized it was professional basketball. What the frick? I followed the Celtics when I was a kid (for some reason, I didn't make the connection . . . "NBA" . . . professional basketball . . . go figure). So, I mean, I was rich and a real cool motherfricker (still am, by the way) and wanted a place to take my 'ho's from Rick's Cabaret and impress them in the Club, so what the frick? You know what I mean? So one night, one of my bitches was annoying the shite out of me so I decided to actually watch the game. And, damned if it wasn't pretty entertaining. So then I decided to learn who was on the team. And, shite, it just took off from there. God Bless America.

I was a big NBA fan during the Jordan era but stopped following after that. I tried to get into the Hawks when I first moved to the ATL but it's really hard to get into that team when no one else in the city cares. When I moved back to LA I started following the Hornets, I jumped on the bandwagon just as the CP3 era ship was sinking and I've been hooked since.

I was a huge Bulls fan, became a Hornets fan as soon as they moved to New Orleans.

The Jordan era Bulls had to be the most popular team of all time
