It is, though. The entire culture is weird. Plus the off the court component of "oh did you see that diss on twitter" or "so and so spotted with so and so's ex in LA"

I don’t understand the makeup of people who just follow KD, Lebron, etc from team to team. I can respect a dude’s game, even like the player a lot...but people slobbing on the knob of a guy who isn’t on their squad is pathetic.
The frick is this passive aggressive shite? Tell us about the superior makeup of you team first guys..

In the southeast where college sports are king, it certainly is at the pro level
As most people will just follow around their favorite players from their schools

People enjoy watching them play basketball. Not hard to understand really.
That’s not really what this is about. But thanks.

My team is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my team is useless. Without my team, I am useless.

People enjoy watching the best play the game. If they don't have a deep-rooted attachment to a team, they will follow their favorite player. Or hell, even if they do have a deep-rooted attachment to a team, they can still follow their favorite player.
You follow?

This also isn't a new development. People adore Bird, Jordan, Magic, etc.

Everyone loves Jordan. Even like Knicks fans inside Madison square garden rooted for Jordan. You couldn't help but be amazed by him

How can someone who isn’t loyal to a team truly get excited about a championship?
On the other hand, I’d find someone a gross POS if they followed KD from OKC to fricking GS and then lost their shite when he won a ring with them

Lol no they didn’t
Even to this day Knicks fans hate him.
Respect his game but basically he and Reggie Miller are enemies 1 and 2

This is not the ‘fanboy’ culture. There’s a big difference between tuning in to see a marquee game with the sport’s best players, and pouring over a guy’s twitter feed...wearing the jersey, shore, and matching sweatbands...going ape shite when his player’s team win’s the ‘ship...then swapping out all that shite for new gear when he gets traded.
That’s not JUST about watching what is entertaining.

Oh his first few seasons when his team was shite.
Sure they did, they did/do the same with Lebron
But Jordan in his prime wining titles with the Bulls. The Knicks fans do not like him

It boils down to people are fans of those players because they are the best and people like watching the best. It's what fans do.
If you can't understand that, I'm not sure what else I can say.
