Hometown Fans
This is the most logical type of fan. If you’re from a city, you rep that team, point, blank, period.
Geriatric Fans
There’s always a longtime fan that loves the game of basketball, but is old enough to have seen Oscar Robertson play. Sure, these elder statesmen watch and enjoy today’s teams, but they can’t help but compare players to those from their heyday.
Boozy Fans
Chances are that this kind of fan gets extremely inebriated at any sports event. It just so happens to be basketball season.
Sports Nerd Fans
There’s always those fans who can name players and stats like it’s nobody’s business, but couldn’t dribble the rock through their legs if their life depended on it. No shade; just saying.
Thirsty Fans
Believe it or not, some lowly men (and women) attend games for the eye candy. Sure, they want to see a good game, but tell us whether the kid above cared about more:Â a buzzer beater or what’s in that girl’s sports bra.
Die Hard Fans
Spike is the poster child for the fans who would take a bullet for their team. However, there’s a level more extreme than this.
Overzealous Fans
There’s a thin line between loving your team and being out right crazy. Take the Dallas Mavericks fan above for instance.
Fans Who Deserve To Be Escorted Off The Premises
We understand passion, but certain behavior warrants security to let the door hit you where the good Lord split you. That’s better than a Ron Artest-style fade, though.
Bandwagon Fans
Are you or do you know someone who’s already aligned themselves with the Brooklyn Nets, though they rooted for LeBron James and the Miami Heat last season. Come on, we all know that person.
LeBron James Haters
Though it’s been years since “The Decision,” some folks just can’t let it go. Their utter hate for King James fuels them throughout the season. Build a bridge and get over it, man.
