I don’t. I’ve encountered many white people that are hardcore NFL, MLB, and NHL fans, but never the NBA.
These white people couldn’t stop shutting up when it comes to their favorite NFL, MLB, and especially, NHL teams but when the topic of the NBA comes up, they automatically feel uncomfortable and try to change the subject back to their sport.
I have a feeling this is related to race.
Let’s face it…the NBA is considered a "black" league and many white people are turned off by that. Don’t be fooled by the "fans" you see on TV. Although most of them are white, they’re there because they’re not fans. They’re there because they have money and it’s something to do.If you ask one of those white spectactors who a certain player is, I bet you they probably won’t even know who they are.
However, the white fans that you see at NFL, MLB and NHL games (especially the NHL), are there because they’re true fans of the game and they truly love their teams.
Now, back to my question. Do you personally know any white person that follows the NBA religiously like they do other sports? I’m not talking about a casual fan, but a hardcore one!
I live in the NYC area, and I’m a hardcore Knick fan. It frustrates me because most of the people I interact with are white, but I can’t relate to them when it comes to the NBA.

Im white and I’m a diehard celtics fan.
I am. I’ve watched the celtics since I was 9 and have always stood by then and they will always be my favorite team. they may be 4-4 now but I still support them and even if they had 10 wins in one season I would still wear the jerseys and talk trash to my friends. Celtics 2012 champions!
