As it is with any team that gets an influx of great players, said franchise also gets a bunch of new fans to support them. While any fanbase welcomes new fans with open arms, they typically get skeptical when it comes to new “fans” that only join the fanbase when the team is doing particularly well. This process of hopping from one successful franchise to another is called “bandwagoning” and it’s heavily frowned upon.
When Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving announced they were signing with the Brooklyn Nets back in July 2019, the Nets fanbase saw an influx of fans with tickets to hop aboard. Demand to get on the ride only grew stronger when the Nets traded for James Harden. As well as the hate if we’re being honest.
In any case, the test below is to check to see if you are indeed a loyal Nets fan or a bandwagon fan (honestly, no judgement because who doesn’t like a winner, am I right?). There are going to be ten relatively difficult questions, all of which have choices A through D. Keep track of your answers as you’ll need to recall them at the end.
