If it makes you guys feel any better, I'm a Warrior fan and just got my head kicked in via internet for not being 100% on board with them signing KD.  I basically said that the bench was a little suspect, Zaza and West are solid pick ups but aren't rim protectors and got roasted for probably being a bandwagon fan lol...

bandwagon tag isnt all inclusive. you seem like a true level headed basketball fan. but being 37 yrs old myself and a bay area native, i know for a fact that 2 things are true regarding the fanbase. the true fans have lit up oracle for well over 10 years and made it a great atmoosphere for bball AND the large majority of fans NOW werent true fans at all until after the championship run.

those same bandwagon fans didnt even care when they went 67-15 and were in the playoffs...the wagon got a little heavier during the finals...but exploded after they won a ring.

when you seen fans wearing warriors jerseys at the boston garden, MSG, in brooklyn...you know the bandwagon is full.

the ones that don't know who Hardaway and Mullin were, those are the ones that count as bandwagon fans to me.

I'm a Warrior guy but I don't bleed blue and yellow like some of these die hards I guess.  I was upset when they lost because it would have been a nice cap to a great season and I've seen what the Warriors used to be so I could appreciate 2 ships, but it didn't ruin my life lol..I got over it.  I have bigger things as a man to worry about then some team losing a championship.  I guess you also hit it spot on when you say I'm a true level headed hoops fan.  I do like the Warriors but I do also enjoy watching the other great teams/players.  I enjoy watching Kobe (I hated him for a while, but again, I am older and realized hating someone I don't even know, was childish lol), Lebron, KD, Russ, PG, and the other great teams as well.  By some "die hard" fan logic I guess that's against the rules lol and I guess I am not a die hard fan then, which is all right with me...Regarding your comment about Oracle, I totally agree.  It's live up in there and didn't realize how crazy it was until I went to a Laker game at staples and even more so a Knicks game at MSG a couple years ago. I sat up in the super nose bleeds at MSG and at one point could hear the players lol.

There's definitely a lot of bandwagon fans, and I think that is normal with any franchise that starts winning.  They're the reason I wasn't able to take my son to any games this season lol.  There was no way I was dishing out 300 to sit upper level, behind the hoop with my back against the wall to watch them destroy the 76ers.  It is frustrating but I'll probably take my son this season.  It's just funny to me how hypocritical,bitter, sensitive, and serious some of these fans are.

Yeah. So true. Most of those lunatic bandwagon fans joined after the Warriors won the chip in 2015. And most hardcore curry fans who label him as the goat and putting him on par with MJ started to say that after curry had a great season start.
Then the whole hype created dislikes and hate towards them. Especially with the big talk about being better than the 1995/1996 Bulls.

Man... the looks I got when I said I would still take the Bulls (this was before they lost in the Finals of course).  I got even worse looks and got hated on when I said that he isn't even the best player in the league.  Don't get me wrong, Curry is nice.  He is special but there's a still a couple players ahead of him that are "better."  He was definitely the MVP the last two seasons but there was a lot of Warrior fans ready to give him the GOAT label lol and the Warriors the greatest team of all time.  I guess I am not a real fan if I don't agree with everything the team does. 
 
RUN TMC was the ******* truth

Spree was the man too

Then Spree had to go choke a ***** :lol:

I think the bandwagon label applies by age. I say this with all sports/teams.

A 50-year-old man claiming to be a lifelong Warriors fan but has who idea that Wilt played for the team or who Rick Barry is, he's obviously a bandwagoner.

Some 19-year-old who is claiming to be a loyal fan but doesn't know about Wilt or Barry, I let it pass... but I'm'a pay attention. Say the Warriors have a bad spell say 3 years from now and he no longer claims to be a fan, then he was obviously a bandwagoner, but it's not because he didn't know about Wilt or Barry on the team.

LeBron has a chance to add to his legacy by beating these clowns. Curry and Durant are gonna have to change their last names to James if that happens.

If he does, he will be in the GOAT conversation.

Beating a 73 win team probably took alot out of him, he coasted a little too much most of the playoffs, and he knew why, because of his back. He doesnt want to retire early, the same reason why Bird did. But hes already back in the gym. Dudes a machine, wish I was that motivated to get to the gym
