They get to watch the best basketball players in the world go head to head and compete for the championship. The fans also get to root for their favourite team and players. There’s nothing like watching your team win the Finals!

They are the ones who will be glued to their TV screens for every game, cheering on their favorite team (and maybe even booing the opposing team).
The bandwagoners
The bandwagoners are a type of fan that only supports a team when they are doing well. They don’t really care about the team, they just want to be associated with a winner. When their team starts to lose, they often jump ship and start supporting another team. This type of fan is typically seen as annoying by real fans, because they don’t really understand or care about the game.
The predictions
The Warriors are favored to win the NBA Finals. They have the best record in the league and have home court advantage. The Warriors are a well-rounded team with great shooting, defense, and rebounding. The Cavaliers are a strong team as well, but they are not as good as the Warriors. The Cavaliers will have to play their best basketball to have a chance to win the NBA Finals.
