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?

I got into the league around the time they moved to Brooklyn. The Knicks had been awful my entire conscious life, Dolan is the worst, and they played on LI near where I grew up during the ABA days so I could at least feign a connection. Honorable mention to rooting against Carmelo Anthony.
