Bandwagoners

Bandwagoners go for the team that they've heard of all year, the popular team, the team who has been succesful. The Boston Celtics finished with the best record in the NBA so they go for them. Last year Boston had the worst record, but nobody went for them. This year they've also made it to the NBA Finals, making them a popular team, so they want to join the publicity and go for them instead of the opposing team, the Los Angeles Lakers, who are the best in the West because people hate the Lakers. They hate them because they have the best player in the NBA that nobody can guard, the MVP of 2008, the Black Mamba. Plus, the Lakers have dominated all of the best Texas team, the defending champions, so in Texas L.A. is the enemy, so they'll favor their opponents instead of the Lakers. Boston and L.A. are the final two teams left in this years season, and the winner takes the championship. And next year when the Lakers go to the championship against the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Detroit Pistons most people in Texas, and the rest of the nation, will jump on that bandwagon because they don't want the Lakers to win. Not because they are fans of that team, but out of hatred and ignorance. At this point its mainly ignorance because they don't know basketball really well, if they did, they will know that the Lakers are going to woop some a** and Kobe Bryant will hold the trophy showing everyone that he is worthy and deserves the NBA title. Some will grow to love the Los Angeles Lakers, some will actually grow knowledge of the game and appreaciate them because if you can't beat them join them. I don't hate on any teams, do not be misconstrude by the image above, but I dislike the "fans" who are not true to their teams and support them through the ups and downs. If you've always been a Boston fan, I salute you, and this massage is not for you, but if you just recently became a Celtic fan continue to support your team for the next couple of decades not just when to make it to the finals or when they play the champions who always attain the best ratings for the NBA. Note: The NBA logo is the figure of a former Los Angeles Laker player.
