There have always been NBA teams I liked and didn't like.
The Lakers were always the nemesis of my Knicks (during their non-dark years), because they were too good. I further didn't like the Lakers because of Kobe Bryant and his criminal past.
I really liked the Orlando Magic when the franchise first formed. They had players no one had ever heard of and they were so bad, they were good. Then they got Shaq and it all got serious. They got to the finals, Shaq got the coach fired and then they became if not consistently good, at least contenders.
I don't like Dallas. I don't know why. Maybe it's all the fawning over Dirk.
The Miami Heat is another squad I get tired of. I liked them for awhile when it was Shaq and D-Wade, because Wade seemed like such a humble guy. But then they went all Big 3 when they got LeBron James. UGHH.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, since last year's conference finals, have been a personal favorite. They had personality and Kevin Durant seems like such a nice kid. This year, I'd really like to see them win the finals.
