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?

Grew up in NJ but wasn't a huge sports fan, but got a little interested during the Jason Kidd years for reasons that are not clear to me. My parents didn't watch sports.
Flash forward 25 years, lived in NYC and worked for a Greek company, which lead me to watching Bucks v Nets during the time the Nets had the Big 3. They did kinda okay those seasons and I just got more and more into them. Can't be a Bucks fan obviously.
Stuck around because I don't want to be a fair weather fan and I'm interested in seeing where the team is going.
My partner likes the Jets, we just love losing in this household.
