Mr Loyalty - Have never switched teams
All my favorite Sports teams are the teams I Started with when I became fans of each sport
1966 - Was 12 year old growing up in Chicago, only thing to do in the summer was go to community pool or Watch the Cubs on my moms B&W tv on WGN. Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins yep those were my heroes. Best year was 1969 til those damn miracle Mets came from behind and bumped my Cubbies out of post season. Still keep an eye on the Cubs after I moved to Sacto in 1975. Every year or so make it to Cubs/giants game in SF. Went to Cubs/Giants playoffs the year Giants/Oakland series were interupted by Earthquake
1984 - Jumped on Bears bandwagon, OMG finally a winning team, after being a Cubs fan forever, and got me into the NFL big time, Became my routine every sunday to head down to the pub on Sunday to see my Bears. 1984 Playoffs beaten by those Darn Niners. Of course 1985 and Superbowl XX was my heydey! Sweetness, Jimmy Mac, The Fridge, Richard Dent. But again got me into NFL and still a Bears Fan
1993 - My Eleven yr old Daughter started Basketball at Holy Family in 5th Grade as a point guard, went on to be Varsity Starting point guard in HS at Loretto HS in her sophmore yr. She was the one to get me into Basketball started taking her to Kings Games in 1993 Mitch Richmond, L Train, OP, Spud Webb (my daughters hero since he was a undersized PG like her) Of course became a rabid fan ever since, go to 20 games a year, prob watch 50 out of 60 of the rest on tv
Dont think I could ever switch any of my teams regardless of where I live or where my team is or how they are playing each year. Each of my teams have a special place in my heart and my life for various different reasons, all my teams are part of me, part of my history, Dont think I could ever give up on any of them

I got this NBA live game from my brother in 1996 or 1997 and I started playing with the Kings. I don't know, I just liked our team logo. I remember Polynice and Richmond were there... Anyway, soon after that Peja and Vlade came and made me Kings fan for life. First time I come to the States, I am going to see Kings live!
