Is anyone here emotionally attached to their team? Or are you a fan just to be a fan?
For me it's been something I have been emotionally involved for the past 10 years. I am 20 right now and I been watching my team through ups and downs for the past decade. This is truly the best sport I love not like. For me 2000 was the most memorable season....Blazers Vs. Lakers. For years I have been finding myself to seek a payback against the Lakers...But besides being at home it has not happened. Then the Jail Blazers era came and I felt like my team was empty...Then Roy and Lamarcus came and it began new hope. I dont hate the Lakers I am just bitter against them...So Laker fans do not take it personal.
So anyone want to shed some of their emotion on their team? Or just comment on how much fun you enjoy watching.

I was emotionally attached.. when I was like in elementary school through high school, which was exactly when Van Exel got drafted and culminated when Kobe lobbed to Shaq against Portland. Back in those days I would literally get upset with opposing teams and players [mostly Utah/SA/Queens, Hornacek, Foster, Ostertag, Robinson, Elliot, Webber, Christie, Turk, Funderberg, Mateen Cleeves].
Since moving on to college I'm glad to say I've grown out of that and although sports pretty much owns me I can say I'm nowhere near emotionally attached to any team or player.
I started appreciating the art of it all probably when I was around 20.

How do you get emotional about the Lakers? they win a championship almost every year. What keeps you emotional? Im not trying to bash I am just wondering...Im open minded.

Pro sports, Absolutely not. Well not anymore. I'm a huge Heat and Celtics fan yet the greatest NBA-related memory i have is the Warriors beating the Mavs in the playoffs. I saw the Heat and Celtics win the championship yet in regards to the Heat i think i'd still rather have seen what Caron, Odom, and Wade could do together.
With college absolutely yes. When my team loses it sucks. It absolutely sucks. The most painful losses i've ever endured as a fan involved college sports (UConn losing to 'Nova in the BET and UConn losing a regular season game to Duke). I just dont feel that same level of attachment to pro sports anymore. 9 times out of 10 the players have absolutely no attachment to the team or the fans of that team and they'll leave at the drop of a hat. Pro sports cant hold a candle to college in terms of hitting your emotions and making you live and die with your team, atleast for me.

I'm from Chicago, and been a Bulls fan 20+ years, and I'm 27 now.
I went to U of I for 4 years. While in HS, I wasn't even sure where I wanted to attend college.
Definitely more emotional when it comes to my pro teams.

Im pretty sure he's a Suns fan.
On topic: I'd probably say I'm a bit more on the emotional side. Some days when the Lakers lose I feel depressed for the rest of the day. (Especially Rival games, and DEFINITELY chokes *ahem* 2008 Finals GM 4 *ahem*)
