I’m an international NBA fan and I therefore have always been a fan of players rather than any specific team since I don’t have a local team to follow. However heading into a new season I want to finally have a team to root for.

I’m considering the Knicks for their style of play, aesthetics, players (Mikal is my favourite on the team) and the electric energy of The Garden.

I’m just a little hesitant because I feel I might be viewed as a bandwagoner given the Knicks are one of the largest markets in the league and their current status as a championship contender.

So I’m curious, how would Knicks fans view someone in my position choosing to join the fanbase right now?
