Undying fan loyalty? Why?

I can't think of a worse run franchise than the Knicks right now. Unlike the common Pittsburgh/KC baseball situation, the Knicks have basically infinite money, they just manage to spend it all in the worst possible ways.

But I can't just abandon them until Isiah is finally run out of town (and even then it'll take 3-4 years to clean up his mess). I can't just decide, hey, I like the Spurs - they run a great organization. Number one, that's some serious bandwagon jumping, but being a big fan of a team is all about history and an emotional connection to the past. After all, everything else about the team changes constantly - the players, the management, even the uniforms. All you have are those memories. Generally, you make this decision as a little kid and then you're stuck with it for life.

There's always the chance they'll turn it around somehow in the future, and it'll be much more meaningful and exciting when they do.
