Im starting to watch NBA, although Im from Brazil, so I didnt grow up with these culture (ex: all my family support Santos in soccer, so Im a Santos fan since I was a kid) and I need to choose a franchise to support.

So I started to search about the history and the game nowadays, and I liked both Bucks and Lakers. Then I figured out that some people say that theyre rivals (mostly for Kareem, I reckon). Now I dont know if i can like both teams.

Kareem was a long time ago. Very few of today’s fans saw him play for the Bucks or resent his departure to L.A.

Unless they meet in the Finals, which I don’t think they ever have, the Bucks and Lakers only play each other twice a year, because they are in different conferences. It’s really not much of a rivalry. Of course, a lot of fans across the country hate the Lakers just because of their history of success — but a lot of other fans follow them for the same reason.

I don’t see any reason why you can’t be a fan of both teams.
