i root for the logo on the front of the jersey, not the names on the back of it.

it matters to me who's playing for the team...it's a major reason why i like a particular team.

did u root for the Yankees when they had a team of guys like Kevin Maas, Hensley Meulens & Wayne Tollesson? just curious... cuz to me guys who abandon a team when they don't have any good players are known as bandwagoners... personally, i choose to remain loyal to the team i love no matter what the situation, & hope that someday that loyalty will be rewarded w/a championship... so far the Yankees & Giants have not let me down... the Knicks haven't won any championships since i've been a fan, but i know that if & when that day comes, i'm gonna be damn proud of this team & look back at all the rough years & think it was all well worth the wait.

i grew up with the yankees. that's what i meant by development years as a fan. i got into 50 fights a week during the mid 80's b/c i grew up in queens as a yankee fan. i remember the alvaro espinoza, andy hawkins, jose cruz and steve kemps...one of my favorites was claudell washington...

if u could show ur loyalty to some of those crappy teams the Yankees had i don't see why u can't do the same for the Knicks... that's what being a diehard fan is all about bro... look at the Cubs fans, they haven't had anything to celebrate for over 100 years but they keep supporting their team cuz their loyalty to the franchise overrides the consistent failure their team subjects them to year after year.

For me, it's not about Lebron or abandoning the Knicks, it's about being a Brooklyn guy. I'm pumped for us to have a pro sports team. I'd be fine if it sucked for a few years, the way teams in new places usually do.

So, I will root for the Nets. I will also still root for the Knicks. They're the first team I loved -- from back in the 70's. I've watched them lose an awful lot of games. I can't wait to be there rooting them on when they're good again.

I'm not sure who I'll be rooting for when they play each other. Honestly, won't know the answer to that one until it happens.

brooklyn nets getting lebron would gut the knicks fan base.

i feel no shame i be rocking that brooklen nets jerz if they sign lebron promise
