The hearts of supporters are often strained in the NBA microcosm, and lovers of some franchises seem to handle it far better than others. A major site did a survey to find the most stressed fanbase, and the results are… surprising.
Being a great sports enthusiast is not necessarily easy … When the free agency opens, for example, how many fans spend their day on social networks refreshing their news feed to see if their franchise heart achieved a great signing? Likewise during the trade deadline where everyone hopes for a big improvement for their team?
But in the life of a supporter, nothing is more exciting, frustrating, or stressful than a close game, even in the regular season! Who has never had an unusually strong heart and sweaty hands in the last moments of a decisive meeting?
