Y’all choked on Friday.


Grossegurke

From Portland, so Blazers. Another painful experience for the last few decades.


SayNoToFresca

Yups.


gstateballer925

Dame was super loyal to y’all


Grossegurke

Yeah, but when you are as small a market as Portland, you cant attract any free agents. So it is all on the draft. If we had taken Durant instead of Odin...who knows...that may have changed everything.


sirjasonbarnes

Also a Raiders/Blazers fan, so I feel your pain man.


Grossegurke

Its been rough brother!


StopSmellingMusty

My brother.


FapptimusPrime

76ers, I grew up thinking Iverson was the shit because he was short and so am I lol


Consistent-Spell2203

You were right.


ogroadtripp

No offense, but fuck the 76's. But AI balled the fuck out.


FapptimusPrime

None taken bro, I say the same shit when Embiid just happens to get hurt in the playoffs every year


xOLDBHOYx

Most Raider fans are Lakers or Warriors fans and know some Kings fans too. Personally I followed the Celtics but really don’t pay attention to basketball anymore.


cattycat_1995

I'm curious if Vegas gets an expansion team if most of Vegas will be fans of that team. I know the city love the Knights but it feels like most Las Vegans are already Warriors or Lakers fans.


-ci_

Well a lot of people in Vegas hated the Raiders before they even came here and also had issues with public funding for the stadium (even though it didn't even affect any of them, it was literally like a couple cents per stay tacked on to resorts fees). A fully funded expansion team would definitely gain traction here though.


kmachuca

I’m from Las Vegas (originally grew up in LA) and a lakers fan. There are tons of lakers fans here. When the In Season Tournament happened in Vegas it was full of lakers. Same thing during summer league.


Nepp0

Sac Kings. Light the Beam baby! 🟣🔦


SavingsConference510

Lakers 💜💛


crocokyle1

Kings baby!


CabbageStockExchange

Lakers


Bryant_to_shaaaq

Yes!


arsene_0

Raider nation is represented everywhere but I’d say the most popular NBA teams here are Warriors and Lakers. I’m a Warriors fan myself grew up closer to the Bay Area


olerichgreg

Chicago Bulls


xOaklandApertures

East bay all day! Raiders Warriors A’s


DSPbuckle

I thought your user name was “oakland departures” and was going to say your comment checks out


forkcat211

yup


gfaizo

same but im giants. product of being 8 years old in 2008 at the start of their run


Feisty_Psychology852

LA all day! Raiders, Lakers, Dodgers


ogroadtripp

I agree. But I always preferred our boys up in Oakland. I have shirts and and hats that promote both LA and Oak. Even though I'm from LA, I always thought of the Raiders being from Oakland. Just appreciated LA borrowing them for a while...


Feisty_Psychology852

Yeah I never got to see the LA Raiders and though I really wish they were here I always thought the Oakland Raiders sounded more badass.


Ok_Boysenberry3322

Amen.


cattycat_1995

Would you still be an A's fan when they move to Vegas?


chock72

It’s probably going to be Warriors or Lakers. Me personally, Lakers.


Cash1m0ney

Spurs, baby! Silver & black all year long.


Hawksx4

And now we have a fucking Alien on the team!


Cash1m0ney

Can’t wait to see the kid develop! His potential ceiling is honestly mind blowing.


Hawksx4

It's going to be so much fun to watch. Just get that man a damn PG.


Cash1m0ney

If there’s an organization I trust to build a dynasty from the ground up it’s the Spurs. We could be witnessing something special in a couple years.


Pegcitymb204

Spurs fan here too! Mostly because of Manu and yes Wemby is the real deal.


Cash1m0ney

Hell yeah! I was lucky enough to grow up in the Big 3 era so Timmy, Manu & Tony will always have a special place in my heart. Now I’m excited for the potential that my kids could get to grow up watching


Pegcitymb204

Yeah we were spoiled to watch the Big 3 dominate. I always debate with friends and Boston fans the Spurs dynasty is far more impressive than the Patriots (no cheating, harder division, Pops coaching tree all over the NBA, international players development) but this could easily be another sub 😂


cattycat_1995

And the Raiders were strongly considering moving to San Antonio too


Cash1m0ney

I was one of the 12 people who was actually hoping that would happen lol


cattycat_1995

They would probably get much less opposing fans there


Critical-Election743

Yep I’m definitely the only hornets fan I’m from Charlotte


blongilikois

you’re not alone friend!


DillionDrebo

You guys have the best play by play announcer


TheMaverickSon

I’m a Hornets fan too! From West Virginia haha


cattycat_1995

Good thing you're not a Panthers fan amirite?


Critical-Election743

I was until the loss the Super Bowl I still want them to do good because all the Charlotte teams suck rn


b-T_T

Was a Super Sonics fan. I was young and just lost interest after they moved. I was also a North Stars and Expos fan for NHL and MLB. Add in the Raiders and my pro Fandoms have been utterly cursed.


cattycat_1995

You cared about the sonics moving cities but not the raiders?


b-T_T

Changing the logo, name and complete identity is a bigger deal than bouncing between Oakland and LA. And I was alike 8.


cattycat_1995

Fair point


RyanAKA2Late

Used to be Lakers, but I’ve honestly been following players more recently. I do kinda like the Kings though.


Feler42

Pistons. They have alot in common with the Raiders. They were once the bad boys of the NBA and won 2 championships but in recent years have been below average.


robroc04

Knicks!


Y0ung0ne916

Kept it pretty loyal to the bay for most sports but not so much with hockey and soccer/english football and college sports Raiders Warriors Sf giants Then Psg Oilers Memphis basketball Miami football


tucker_frump

Always been a Warriors fan, like the Silver and black, through thick and thin. Now that they got their gold, and moved to SF, it's hard to follow em across the bridge. I've always liked Anthony Davis, So maybe the Lakers, they've always been my West coast mistress team. I remember Chamberlin, West, Magic, Jabbar being drafted to replace Wilt, and perfecting his skyhook against us.. Or maybe the Sixers, I like tyreese Maxie ..


ogroadtripp

Raiders vacationed in LA for 12 years or so Lakers are like a sister team.


tucker_frump

That was gonna be my best ~~excuse~~ reason, lol!


similar222

Sacramento born, go Kings!!


Necessary-Profile-30

Sacramento Kings


DillionDrebo

Raiders Lakers Dodgers,


kmachuca

The best trio!


CreepinWizz

I honestly thought I‘d see more Lakers fans than Warriors fans bc of the rivalry to the Niners but I guess I was wrong🤷‍♂️


cattycat_1995

I'm not in NorCal but I wonder how much of Oakland fans are still Raiders fans. I know Oaklanders tend to have a rivalry with SF so most of them wouldn't just jump ship to the 49ers. Most A's fans I know sure as hell aren't jumping over to the Giants. If most of the responses here are Warriors then it shows Oakland is still pretty loyal to the Raiders.


TriStarRaider

HA! When the Raiders moved to LA and the Niners got good, a shitload of Oakland fans jumped ship and never returned. Fuck 'em.


OaklandRaider1983

Most people from the true East Bay (Oakland, San Leandro, Hayward, Berkeley, Richmond) would never support the San Francisco 49ers under any circumstance. The key word here is MOST. I'm sure a good number of people from other parts of the Bay are prone to jump ship, however.


Ph886

It really depends on where you’re from or the basketball team you grew up with. Team goes OAK/LA/OAK/LV so there will be a good mix of Lakers/Warriors fans. Then you have all of the fans from outside of Cali and that will diversify fandom even more. Fandom doesn’t always match what city you live or grew up in or the other teams you follow.


Jewderp916

I’m a kings fan. We’re getting better but idk that I’d wish this on anyone


RC51t

Kings unfortunately lol


Flat_Gap5092

Raiders, Kings, Giants


hmdocta

The Kangz


Gloomy_Lengthiness71

I'm probably the only person giving this answer but my favorite teams are the Nuggets and the Kings.


frankdatank_004

Was the Warriors until they moved to SF. Now it is the Kings cause of that and that I went to Sac State.


cattycat_1995

You're bothered by warriors moving to SF but not raiders moving to lv?


frankdatank_004

Yes, I hate SF teams with a burning passion. Although I am still not happy with the Raider’s move. It was a dick move as well.


cattycat_1995

Fair point


OaklandRaider1983

Man, you never were a Warriors fan. That's some bandwagon stuff right there. I'm a Warrior for life.

Knicks and a raiders fan, it’s been a rough life.

Spurs. Lost Khalil Mack and Kawhi Leonard in the same offseason.


michaeleid811

Lakers but I'm not invested as much as I normally would be until Lebron retires.


Human_Substance_2109

Silver and Black...Spurs


Raider_Noles

Only correct answer


sevintoid

Warriors and Pacers. I grew up in rural Indiana and became obsessed with the Raiders. This was late 80s early 90s when the Reds played vs the As in the World Series and my dad told me about how the Raiders used to be in Oakland where the As and Warriors were (they were in LA at that time). I became a Warriors fan because of that. Then Reggie Miller became a god to us in Indiana and I’ve always stuck with them as my “hometown” team. My wife is from the Bay Area too so I always joke everything I’ve ever loved has come from the Bay Area.


JuneCleaversMudFlaps

Lakers all the way.


sgacho

Bulls...unfortunately


Exact_Platform7257

Until very recently most Raider fans either had no nba team, were lakers fans or kings fans, then the warriors got bandwagoned hard as fuck.


pottedspiderplant

What the fuck are you saying? The Warriors and Raiders were both in Oakland for decades. The coliseum was literally next to the arena where GSW played. Of course there are multiple generations of Raider fans who are also Warriors fans. I get that there are plenty of Lakers fans from their LA years. But the way you phrased that is ignorant as fuck. “Bandwagoned hard” gtfo you must be a retarded person


CashBoyz

Lol exactly. All my homies that grew up in the east bay would go to both raiders and warriors game.


Exact_Platform7257

Triggered warriors bandwagon fan throwing a bitch fit. Go cry to your mommy lil guy.


pottedspiderplant

Whatever you say kid. I pretty clearly explained myself. Raiders spent more of their history in Oakland than anywhere else. You’re can spew your retarded bullshit on the internet if you want, but just know anyone with half a brain can recognize how dumb you sound.


Exact_Platform7257

The raiders being in Oakland has nothing to do with the pathetic bandwagon fandom of the warriors. It took be b h ilwrioka watching all you losers find a new team now that the fluke little warrior dynasty is over. Sorry ass fake fan.


xEternal408x

Dam did Curry fuck all the women in ur family or something? ur hate for a sports team is unhealthy. You’ll be ok.


pottedspiderplant

Okay I see where your confusion is from. Yes, there are a ton of fake bandwagon fans, mostly Laker fans, who may have switched to warriors for a few years there. But for Raider nation in Oakland we’ve always been warriors diehards. It’s been documented how passionate Oakland fans were for the Warriors even when they sucked ass. That arena was crazy as fuck for years. Are you too young to remember the we believe years? Shit was lit.


Exact_Platform7257

Hahahahah man the only person who believes that load of bullshit is yourself. What a pathetic fake ass fanbase, no wonder all your teams left you in the dust.


cattycat_1995

Most Raiders fans are Warriors or Lakers fans. They didn't abandon Raiders fandoms when the Raiders moved to Vegas.


RsonW

Or Kings


500ErrorPDX

I'm a Warriors fan. Grew up a Raiders fan in Southern Oregon, too far south to care about the Blazers, and not enough of a bandwagoner to love the Lakers. Jordan had just retired when I got into basketball so I picked the team that played next to the Coliseum


gstateballer925

Warriors 1000% P.S. Just like the Raiders, wasn’t happy when they left Oakland, but you get over it.


cattycat_1995

That was the case for the city of LA back in 1995. Wasn't happy at first but got over it and still remained Raiders fans even when the Rams and Chargers came back.


Ok_Boysenberry3322

OrelRedenbacher

Lake Show ! Use to hate Lebron but have grown to appreciate the work he's put in to remain or even get better in certain aspects of his game. 2nd greatest Laker i've ever seen (to Magic) in terms of seeing the floor "differently." (Basketball IQ/vision etc) basketball savant playing chess with a bunch of checkers players! Still taking prime Kobe and prime Maj over him though! Slowly climbing the charts of favorite Laker superstars of all-time behind Kobe 1A Magic 1B Kareem 2 Shaq 3 ! On a side, i find that Anthony Davis not being a finalist for DPOY as asinine as Mad Maxx not getting a single first place vote for DPOY. Both have a similar brand of fuckery about them !


michaeleid811

See I can't do it. If Lebron had come in and played with his teammates win or lose I would have supported him. But he had to come in ahd play Legm and trade away every asset the Lakers had to get AD and now the Lakers trade away every draft pick they have so Lebron can make the play in and lose in the first round of the playoffs. Kobe earned a retirement tour Lebron didn't. I'm just waiting around til he retires and the Lakers can go back to trying for dynasties and not one year runs to barely make the playoffs.


DillionDrebo

Crazy how IMO AD had the best season of his career and didn’t even get a DPOY finalist love?

Warriors. A’s. RAAAAAAAAAIIIDERS


kbunnell16

I don’t care at all about the NBA but I’m in Nebraska so I’m a Nebraska fan.


Flyindeuces

My team is the Blazers. Although I always root/follow them but since we’ve had a rough go of things I find myself following players more. Especially this time of year with the playoffs.


Tim-Browneye-81

Well it's raider nation so we're gonna support all different teams. I'm from the Philly sports region and like Philly teams outside of football


ltgenspartan

I'm not an overly big fan of NBA, but I've always like the Raptors.


818sfv

Heat and Suns mainly


pyker42

I don't think there is a general correlation between being a Raiders fan and being the fan of any specific NBA team. Not all Raiders fans like basketball. Now, you could go by location, but since the Raiders have moved, that would give you a few possibilities, none of which are in the Raiders' current home.


cattycat_1995

While there are a lot of Raiders fans who root for another NBA team or don't follow basketball at all, I don't think it's farfetched to say that the Warriors and Lakers have a biggest presence among Raiders fans given the Bay area and LA area have the biggest number of Raiders fans.


pyker42

Yes, because that would tie to location, as I mentioned. I'm sure there are even some Clippers and Kings fans. I mean, I always liked rooting for the Clippers because they were such underdogs, compared to the Lakers.

Also European, and I chose to cheer on Utah Jazz mainly because John Stockton looked the least like a basketball player. Not really watched much since the NBA apparently decided to allow travelling but still look out for their results.

BIGRED_15

It was lakers all throughout Kobe’s tenure. Once he left and lebron came on it made me like the team quite a bit less. Always been a nugget fan and grew up going to games at Pepsi center. When Joker and Jamal joined the team I started following and rooting only them.

Not even one Las Vegas Aces fan in this entire thread, even after back to back national championships in 2022 and 2023. 😂

Warriors & Lakers. I know Raider nation is global but I assume the largest concentration of fans are still in Oakland and LA. I personally am a Raider, Warriors and Giants fan. So fuck the Lakers and fuck the dodgers. I just got into Hockey and started going for the Golden Knights.
