i'm a Lebron bandwagon fan. Growing up in NJ i liked the Nets because Drazen Petrovic was my favorite player but after he died Jordan was my favorite so i rooted for the Bulls. When he retired the 2nd time i kinda lost interest in the NBA for a little bit and then when Lebron entered the NBA (he's the same age as me so i knew about him since his Soph year of HS) i was a fan of his from the beginning so i liked seeing the Cavs do well and now that he's in Miami i root for the Heat.

I wouldnt call myself a Heat fan but i'd like to see them win because i think Lebron is hands down the best player and i want him to get his rings so people can stop talking about him never winning one. So really i dont have a favorite NBA team and quite frankly i'm ok with that because its more about the individual stars than teams in the NBA.

Problem with the NBA is they market individuals not teams so its very easy to just follow stars instead of following teams. Its more of a star driven league than football and baseball so when i root for one team over another its usually because i like a guy on the one team or dislike a guy on the other. I'll root for anyone over the Lakers because i'm not a Kobe fan but I like seeing the Spurs do well because i like Duncan.

You dont need to root for a team just because you live in that state or area. I'm a Yankees and Patriots fan, 2 rival cities. My family is all Giants fans as was I as a little kid and Dave Meggett was my favorite player, when he got traded to the Pats i became a Pats fan and have been ever since. Meggett was the reasons i became a Pats fan. I was a young kid when it happened and the Pats werent in Super Bowls yet so it wasn't because of winning, it was because they had my favorite player then i decided that was it and the Pats were gonna be my team for the rest of my life. Once you hit around age 10, i think by that time who you root for you should stick with because by that time you've had enough time to see and experience different teams and players and figure which direction you want to go.

What ever works for you man.

To me, rooting for a team outside of where you live is pointless. What is the point in being a fan of a team that you can only see play a few times a year? Following a team through the newspaper or highlights isn't my idea of fun lol.

Rep where you live, regardless of if the team is good or not.

And rooting for a team whose state hates everyone from your state, and everything about your state, like Boston or Dallas, is even more ridiculous lol. But again, what ever works for you.
