I'm sure you some of you guys have experience this, but as a Bobcats fan, people often seem to belittle or talk to me in jest, especially other fans (mostly bandwagon Celtics or Lakers fans around here in NC). Whenever I wear any of my Bobcats stuff, people always seem to ask me, incredulously, "You're a Bobcats fan?" Other NBA fans often seem to think of us as the worst franchise, even though we clearly have some talent, and we performed much better than most of the lottery teams this past year (we almost made the Playoffs people!).

I dunno, I guess I'm just trying to say that it's tough being a Bobcats fan, but I suppose that's what real fandom means. I'm sure you other 'Cats fans have sometimes gone through the same.

We'll see all the bandwagoners when we make it to the playoffs!
