What Does Your NBA Team Say About You?

We wear the colors, learn the chants, purchase the tickets, cover our cars in the decals, and back our team no matter the record. We are NBA fans.

What Does Your NBA Team Say About You?

Whether you're in the West or the East, an avid watcher of the game, or just like to wear the shirt; the team you're representing represents you too. What does your NBA team says about you?


Chicago Bulls

You're a go-getter. You know what you want but sometimes you're not sure how to get there. You're known for standing by your friends and family no matter what; just like you stand by D. Rose through every injury, knowing he'll come back and be good as new, until he gets hurt again. But we won't talk about that. You spend more money on red and black garments than you do on food, your home, your family, etc.


Golden State Warriors

You are relentless. You are constantly working towards your goals and never letting anything get in your way. Just like the "Splash Brothers" and the rest of the team, you work together with your co-workers, family, friends, etc., to meet a common goal. You're new to the whole “winning" concept of basketball (no championship since 1975 but hey, 2015 is looking very promising for you all), but that doesn't mean you don't enjoy every second of it. You are excited to see this franchise grow, and to grow with it as well. Best of luck to Mr. MVP Steph Curry, his beyond adorable little girl, and the rest of the team as they continue to fight for a championship.


Houston Rockets

You look forward to the future, and you're always positive about what is coming next, but you never forget about the past. This season has given you life. With “The Beard" and Jason Terry as your newest soldiers, and Dwight getting into full Rocket mode, you could say this has been a year to remember. But don't let it get to your head yet, you've come a long way and still have a long way to go before you're really celebrating.


San Antonio Spurs

You bleed sliver and black pride everywhere you go. You not only know the names of the starters, but the bench, the coaches, the trainers, the ball boys, and even the ushers at the AT&T Center. You know what it means to win and to be the best, but you also know defeat far too well (Game Six of the 2013 finals is the reason we have trust issues). With the Big Three and Coach Pop you've never had to worry about not going anywhere. The playoffs are your home. This year wasn't your best, but your dedication won't stop here. Here's to hoping that your shining stars Timmy, Manu and Tony hang around for another go.


Dallas Mavericks

You like to keep things interesting, just as the Mavs do. You come out of nowhere with fire ideas that keep you and those around you going constantly. Like the signing of Rondo, you keep people guessing. Rondo may not be the best point guard for the Mavs, but if his and the team's allegiance continues to grow he could be doing great things next season. You love to attend your rival games, and you feed off of others' energy and are never a play behind. You do the Wolf of Wall Street chant every time it plays, and you are constantly looking forward to the Mavs ManiAACs dance debuts. You have a lot of faith in your team; you are a MFFL. (Oh, and Dirk is pretty alright too.)


Los Angeles Clippers

You aren't easily discouraged. You know when you have something good and you take it and only improve on it. You've seen your team in the hard times of losing tough games and scandals within the franchise. However, you still continue to pack the Staples Center and cheer on your team. You have your own “heroes," sure, but Blake Griffin definitely comes as a close second. His performance on the court keeps you excited and always alert, just as Chris Paul (or should I say Cliff Paul?) does in his State Farm commercials. Your city having two teams has never been an issue for you because you know you look better in red than in yellow anyway.


Cleveland Cavaliers

You like to be in the know, never being the last person to know something important. You gracefully welcomed LeBron back into your lives without a single doubt (you all know a trophy could be on the way). This says a lot about you. You're smart, strategic, and like to win. With Kevin Love and LeBron on your side, it's hard to get a play in edgewise. You're confident, but keep your composure (most of the time at least). You were all too excited to break out your old #23 jersey and let it fly high above the Cleveland skyline. Keep up your excitement and energy. Who knows, this could be your year.


Washington Wizards

You like to surprise people and keep them wondering, "What next?" You all took the NBA by storm this season and kept us all on our toes. Having built up from the team you all were a few years ago to the team you are now, you know what it takes to be the best. You have always claimed the Wizards as your team without a doubt, but now there's such a sense of pride and enthusiasm you get when you have the opportunity to talk with other fans about your team. You know how to keep your head held high even when things aren't going your way, and that says a lot. Now we all patiently wait on Paul Pierce's decision.


Memphis Grizzlies

You all are a powerhouse. With so many super players in the same jersey it's hard to go wrong. Gasol, Randolph, and VC, the West feared you. Just like your team, you like to be intimidating when it comes to sports. You support your team until there's no tomorrow and have their back no matter the issue. This year was a strong build up to a big disappointment, but with time and the energy from you all, Memphis will rise to the occasion again next year, no doubt. Also, with Justin Timberlake owning part of the team, I'd say you can't really go wrong.


Los Angeles Lakers

You are a fighter. You know when the going gets tough and when it seems like you've hit the bottom, that it can only go up from there. God auto corrects to Kobe in your phone, and you probably wear more Lakers gear then almost any other fan of any other NBA team. You aren't even bothered by the hate your team has been getting recently because hello, SIXTEEN championships kind of says a lot. You know your team needs rebuilding and you also know Kobe can't be on the court forever. But nonetheless, you claim the Lakers as your team and wouldn't ever say otherwise.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
