Hello everyone! For the longest time I’ve wanted to get into the NBA but I can’t get the same level of investment as I do with my NFL team.

For context I’ve been a 49ers fan ever since I was a kid and saw Colin Kaepernick (In his prime) play. I love the 49ers now because they’re a very close nit and team oriented organization with plenty of likeable characters.

So how can I find a team in the NBA to get attached to like that? Any advice would be helpful and thank you for your time!

    The Warriors kinda checks your boxes of being team oriented and having likeable players.

    San Francisco (Golden State) Warriors! One of the best teams in the league, awesome home crowd, fast pace, lots of passing and shooting, Steph is one of the most exhilerating players around and an organization that puts lots of emphasis on family and unity!

    If you want a team that’s always making a moves to win a championship were fan favorite players are not safe Celtics is a good go to they have been trying to win a championship again in a bit and have had successful post season runs that have ended in disappointment. Or you can root for a up and coming team that made a buzz in the post season in the Kings which has been a notoriously bad team for almost 20 years. Or you could just always watch everyone’s favorite Serbian Nikola Jokic

    You can just be like most on this sub and not actually care or watch - just trash players for no reason, celebrate failures of various characters, and needlessly rank every player/team/coach based on absolutely nothing at all.

    Here’s a few starter phrases to get you going:

    Have you seen his TS%? (Works in any discussion about any player)

    Jokic would have more/less MVPs if he weren’t white (just pick a side)

    (Insert the name of literally any player) is overrated, he can’t win by himself and would just be empty stats. (This one is great because it literally applies to any player ever no matter if they’re good or bad, but nobody can prove you wrong!)
