suppose kc lands an NBA team, and that this completely eliminates the possibility of an NHL team coming to town. would you support your local basketball team out of civic pride, or would you still have no interest in following the NBA? just curious.

If the NBA came here, I wouldnt never even attend a game. The NBA is complete and utter trash.

They really arent making that big of a push for an NBA team here. They are making a lot of effort for an NHL though.

College basketball is king here.

I live in San Jose now but since I spent so many years in Pittsburgh... I'm a fan of all the Pittsburgh teams. But, since I love hockey and I go to as many Shark games as possible, I like them a lot also. When they play each other, I'm kind of torn :-)

For me:

NFL Denver Broncos
MLB:SF Giants
NHL: Don't really follow enough to have a fav team
NBA:Utah Jazz
NCAA:Nevada Wolfpack

Outside of American Sports I support the All Blacks the most (national rugby team of New Zealand).
