[...] -Which brings me to my next point: I’m now a Heat fan. Something I’ve come to find about my generation is that kids today seem to be more loyal to players than they are to teams. At least that’s my feeling in the NBA. I don’t know that I was ever a Cavs fan as much as I was a fan of LeBron James. It really doesn’t matter for me where he is, as long as I get to watch him play. But once I reach the age of 30, I need to make a decision and root for teams, not players. At least according to these Eight Simple Rules for Being a 30 Year-Old Sports Fan. [...]
