Always curious to see who others actively root for and against and what their reasoning is. Who are our biggest team/fan base enemies.
Some of mine, trying to dispel my dislike for Joel Embid. I think because of wanting Jokic to succeed, and feeling like Embid flops and cared too much about the MVP made me develop an irrational dislike for him. At the end of the day, he is a great player and is really good for his team.
For some reason I don’t like the Twolves after KAT’s post season interviews where he was touting he “changed the game”. Also Rudy sucks. ANT is the man though, he has really matured since his role in Adam Sandlers basketball documentary.
My 2nd place team would be the mavericks. As Luka matures and whines less, it’s hard not to constantly root for him (besides when they play us). Generational talent and there is something hilarious about unsuspecting “sloppy fat” foreign dudes cooking the league.
I find it extremely easy to root against Luka
Your hatred of Embiid is not irrational. Also, I haven’t seen evidence of Luka whining less.
Life is too short not be hateful. Lean into it. Fuck the Lakers.
I hope Indiana and Sacramento do well.
Honestly what even is sports without irrational hate?
I’m rooting for the Spurs to grow this year. Wemby looks like a future threat to win MVP.
The Thunder are also fun to watch but I suspect we will be annoyed with them very soon. They’re bound to start making some noise.
Samesies feels about Minnesota. I love Ant and Naz, Conley is cool too. Despise the team, still have baggage from when they knocked us out of the playoffs in the last game of the season. I’d go anywhere else to see the Nugs play and another team in person, not interested in the T wolves.
dislkes warrios, embiid, cp3, harden,
I like Luka (he’s Jokers best friend to some degree). Fun to watch and less prone to temper tantrums. He’s an emotional guy
I don’t like Nurkic, he’s just dirty and obnoxious. I hate Lowry for his Gordon injury and the fact he’s still dirty.
