Well, basketball is probably my least favorite sport, but I do still follow it. For some reason, I was never a big Knicks fan (as I was a Jet, Met, and Islander fan). I was rooting for them when they hired Larry Brown (Jewish), but that turned out to be a disaster because the stubborn schwartzes on the Knicks wouldn't listen to him and play defense. I then became a Nets fan, when I confirmed Lawrence Frank was Jewish. Moreover, the schwartzes on the Nets appear to be more civilized (unlike Stephon Marbury and Isiah Thomas), though Jason Kidd has been having some trouble lately. Growing up in NYC, it seems like people generally choose one team or another. So, if you're a Jet fan, you wouldn't root for the Giants, a Met fan, you wouldn't root for the Yankees, etc. Also, part of the reason I developed the Jewish sports thing was when I was a kid, I had a pretty good Italian friend who always used to brag to me about Italian athletes (Marino, Montana, etc.), so I had to have some examples of Jews to come back with in the conversation. I can understand your reasoning with expansion teams. It's nice to see a new winner. I think some jerseys can look pretty cool, and when I was a kid I used to collect them, but not much anymore. I have a couple of framed ones from when I was younger. I'm listening to the game now online.
