Not a Zards fan (native NYer), but Russ may get me to some games
Still haven’t made it to Capital One for a game.
Knicks or Nets? I probably asked you before but I'm always amazed at how the NY teams are allocated. I know there are some associations between teams (aren't Jets and Mets usually together?) but it seems somewhat random to me. I know most NYers are Yankees fans, and almost all are Knicks, but seems like the splits are somewhat random. Are the Nets starting to catch on as a legit NY team?
I don’t really have a favorite NBA team. Just like watching without much of a vested interest. I grew up in a household that followed baseball first (Mets) and then hockey (Isles). Part of it is geographic since I grew up on Long Island. It was really difficult/expensive to get Knicks tickets, so we would see the Nets in Jersey. Once sat a couple rows behind Roy Jones Jr. in the cheap seats!
Honestly, I don’t think the Nets will ever catch up to the Knicks. It’s kind of like a Cubs/White Sox situation.
Knicks fans have generations of pain to bind them together.
Enjoyed that.

KD was not up for that interview at all
@wm02 could correct me. Not from the city but have tons of friends and random associations with people from the city. Spent a decent amount of time there.
You are spot on, usually Jets/Mets, Yankees/Giants. The Jets/mets contingent is largely Long Island and some specific New Jersey suburbs.
Giants/Yankees like every other borough and suburb. Most of the state until you hit Albany. Binghamton mostly Giants. Syracuse is where you get like 50/50 Giants/Bills with some Jets, Cleveland, Pittsburgh peppered in.
No self respecting New Yorker likes the Nets. They can move to Brooklynn, have the Jay-Z ties, but it's a New Jersey team. My dad is a knicks fan from Western New York. I root for the Knicks, but always been Lakers through and through. The Knicks have been such a trainwreck since the 90s so it sucks.
But Knicks are the only team Jets/Giants fans all usually pull for. I also find the breakdown of who roots for who interesting because there really isn't an actual tangible thing that makes people pull for whoever. It's usually just passed on through family.
But yea, screw the Nets. Wish they'd go back to Jersey.
Jets also usually align with Islanders, and Giants the Rangers.
Also, old timers who liked the baseball giants usually fell into the Mets camp.
Didn't see it, but is he ever. The guy has a terrible personality. Great player, just totally unlikable in my opinion.

Shouldn’t Chuck be studying Basketball Reference to get ready for his annual 1 for 5 performance in Who He Play For?
Yup. My parents were both from Brooklyn
Dodgers fan households, so they were without a team for a couple years until the Mets started up in ‘62. Supporting the Yankees not an optionlol
Mets and Jets both played in Queens at one point (Mets still do), so that explains why they are more popular on LI, for example. Also, even after they left for Jersey, the Jets had their training camp on LI at Hofstra for years. Giants had theirs in Albany for some time.
Mets/Jets and Yankees/Giants are the most common combos. That being said, I know quite a few Mets/Giants fans (both from NY and NJ) whereas I don’t think I’ve ever met a Jets/Yankees fan.
I’m not sure if it’s true but Yankees and Mets has always seemed closer to 50/50 whereas I think there are way more Giants fans than Jets fans
This isn't going well

It is by far the best sport to see live.A sport thats become so boring even old Jack cant keep his lids open
NBZzzzzzzz
Forgot about the Dodgers tie in. I'm not a baseball fan, no one in my family is. It's just anyone but the Yankees. Them, Notre Dame, and the Cowboys were the teams I was just raised to root against.
My dad wasn't an Everton supporter so Lfc is the one I added to our tree of hate so to speak.
Honestly Notre Dame and Liverpool are the two teams I just can't stand. Cowboys are more of a joke and I just couldn't muster a f to give about baseball.
