#4 is probably the most common amoung the die hard ranks. I mean #4 sums up most game threads.
4) The Armchair Player and Coach
Every game has a fan that’s always pissed off. They’ll literally complain about every single play in the game. If a player misses a jump shot, “STOP SHOOTING JUMPERS!”. If a player turns the ball over in a fast break, “SHOOT THE BALL!”. If a player comes into the game and doesn’t box out his man, “WHY IS THIS GUY IN THE GAME?”. I personally love these fans, they’re always passionate and at the end of the day, they just want the home team to win.
Anyway, good job! Keep up the good work and stick around. Oh and welcome to the board.
Don't forget about the newbie fan, who thinks it's perfectly acceptable to spend the entire game asking questions, akin to the 'talks during the movie' guy.
There's also the lip-service fan who's decked out in team gear, but has no clue or care about the sport/team/game. It's either hip to support the team, be seen at the game, or to go along with your friends or boy/girl friend. At least the bandwagoners like and understand the sport, but these fans are there more for the selfies and social gratification.
How about the fan wearing the jersey of a team not playing that night? Or the fan wearing some other sports jersey?
"I'm going to a sportsing event, I'll put my sportsing clothes on!"
I applaud this type of fan who busts out whatever they have in the closet and still enjoys the game. This person isn't going to get suckered into paying big bucks for ridiculously over-priced OVO merch just to impress the anonymous masses. Frugal is where it's at. lol.

Which brings us to selfie fan. Usually travels in packs. Constantly checking instagram for who likes that they're there. Terrence ross breakaway? Busy taking a selfie. Fans going crazy after a huge 3? Snapchatting themself cheering.
I also hate "keep it down" fan. Him and I don't get along, because I'm "respectfully drunk" fan. I yell at opposing players, I cheer loudly, I chant "defense" even in the 2nd quarter. I do not spill my drink, swear, or yell at other fans. This usually does not stop me from annoying "keep it down" fan, who apparently came to a basketball game for some meditation
