The Sacramento Kings are #1. Clippers are #25, Knicks and T-Wolves are #28 and #29.
The San Diego Padres are #2 on the list and the highest ranked baseball team.
Cleveland is the top NFL team on the list at #3.
Florida Panthers are the top NHL team on the list coming in at #4 overall.

The Patriots are the lowest team on the list followed by the Warriors. Lakers are #114. |

ESPN still pushing bull (bleep) around the room like dung beetles.

Kinda surprised the Heat are way up there. Whenever I tune into their home games the arena often looks half empty. Maybe they just enjoy being fashionably late like LA fans.
Surprised Lakers fans are less miserable than Yankees fans. What do they have to be miserable about? We were one of the worst teams in the entire league for four straight seasons. I can't even remember the last time the Yankees had a losing season.
 We'll see how long that Cavaliers fan stay happy after year one of the second exodus.

I agree considering how many people actually are fans of the Knicks vs the Queens. |

I would say the Heat fans are much more front runners than Laker fans. They may get a little buzz within the city during the playoffs.....but if there are not mega stars on the court, the city does not seem to pay much attention. Miami is still a Dolphins city first, then everything else kind of falls in line around if the team (Heat, Marlins, etc.) is "hot" at the time. |

People will always disagree with these lists, but I don’t understand the Miami Marlins being higher despite the fact they are terrible today. Miami has won 2 championships in the last 21 years. The Knicks haven’t won in my lifetime. |
