Los Angeles fans from Connecticut: Frontrunning since 1985.
The "Showtime" Lakers (along with the Larry Bird era Celtics) are probably the reason that a lot of people became interested in the NBA all around the world. If a six-year-old Dave Peck (for example) got into basketball because of Magic Johnson in 1985 and has been rooting for them every year since, is he really still a frontrunner 23 years later?
Also, and I\'m not saying Wolfman does this because I don\'t know that, but plenty of people from Boston and New York LOVE to point out that people from Connecticut are, in fact, "just" from Connecticut. So why should we have to choose our favorite teams out of the Boston and New York teams?
Sincerely,
Drew M. Kingsley: a Connecticut native and Red Sox, Eagles, Knicks and casual Maple Leafs fan
