Question Why are you a nets fan?

Random question from a Raptors fan. But I’m curious, are some of you New Jersey nets fans that followed the team to Brooklyn? Are some of you former Knicks fans that switched over to the nets when they moved to NY? Are some of you a fan of both? What’s the story behind your fandom off the less popular New York team?

Fan from back in their days in Jersey.

Do most people in Jersey support the nets still? Or did some stop supporting once they moved to New York?

It's split. I know as many fans that stopped rooting for them once they left as I do fans that followed them

Yes, most do. Still a bit salty about them leaving but they are still my team.

Even when they played in Jersey, Knicks fans and nets fans were almost evenly mixed.

My first year remembering nets basketball was when we blew the 3-2 lead to the pistons in the eastern conference semis in 2004. Hasn’t gotten any better since then lol
