Being a fan means you know everyone on the team and watch every game of theirs you can. You wonder about their draft picks and know the team history. I'm not a Miami fan.

Sounds like you have some issues to resolve, though.
Good points, Lingo. I agree that one doesn't have to be a fan to cheer for a team. Personally, I didn't cheer for one team over another, but have several friends who were either pulling for the Mavs or Heat.

I also enjoy watching Wade play. The dude is a gamer with a killer instinct. He just gets it done and it's fun to watch.
