Philly for sure. Only ones above Philly would be (in order) LA, NYC, Chicago and then Philly. I am not sure DC-Baltimore would even make it to the top 10 as I find Boston, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and Indianapolis to be more basketball oriented cities than DC.

NO WAY. These are without a doubt football oriented cities to the core. Football is popular in DC for pro sports only. Outside of it, the rest of the levels take a back seat to the NBA, College basketball (though I would say college ball is more popular in DC than the NBA) and even high school basketball. Dallas and Houston is NFL, College Football, and high school football over everything else.

Down here in the DC-Baltimore area, we put more emphasis on college basketball than professional NBA basketball. DC is more of a football-, soccer-, hockey-, and baseball-oriented city, especially football! Bmore is a very football- and baseball-oriented city.

Cannot you not read? I said they are more basketball cities than DC. I never said that was the most popular sport there is basketball. Just like in Boston, baseball is king but basketball is still more popular there than in DC.
I know a lotta people don't, but still, are there a lotta folks in Charm City that even care about the Wizards?
And was Baltimore robbed of the Bullets, or did they deserve to leave?
I don't know any wizards fans. After the team left Baltimore, they weren't our team any more. Most of the people that I know are Celtics fans. Pro basketball is bigger than college basketball here in Baltimore.
