The average NBA fan is a whining sissy

[BballTim]

I am a much bigger fan of Kobe than I am of Howard at this point in their careers.

  I've been a big Howard hater since well before his LA days. It goes back at least to the superman nonsense in the slam dunk contests.

Sounds like OP is really talking about the average Laker fan, not the average NBA fan.

Me too.  I can't imagine a better takedown than KG yelling "Paint your face, clown!" at him.  Dude's always been a clown, even when he was a top 5 player.  Now he's just a clown with diminished ability.

I had the impression that the average basketball fan these days had lost interest in both Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard.

DH is certainly still relevant with the Rockets - Kobe, okay, well, no...

This thread can only end well.

Oh I'm looking forward to it. This is half the reason I come.

I wonder if this stuff happens in lots of Euro sports or if they're a bit different. I would imagine it does in soccer, but idk if it happens in the other sports

It certainly does in football (that's 'soccer' to you, buddy) fora and supporter groups around the world...

Then there are the 'whining sissies' that rant about other fans. This is something that people fixate on?

I was skeptical upon reading the thread title, seeing how its going I'm just going to lock this.
