"He shows me the official cheer sheet, most of which is his brainchild. It contains bits of advice — "Try and use Bam-Bams instead of clapping during cheers, makes more noise" — and cheers for every individual player."
A great read from Grantland that I think even non-sports fans would enjoy. It’s about the 2011-2012 Charlotte Bobcats, the worst NBA team in the league, and its tiny loyal group of superfans.
Some great takeaways:
- (On Tyler Mann, the superfan ringleader): “When he goes to the doctor’s now for checkups, they tell him he’s not allowed to talk about the Bobcats when they take his blood pressure, or it skews the reading.”
-Gerald Henderson, who used to play for Duke, once punched Tyler Hansbrough in the face. Starting to sense a trend with Hansbrough…
- Apparently Boston fans are the worst. “They’re rude. They make more trips to the concession stand. I’d think Bobcat fans would need to drink more.”
“I’m not somebody who tries to figure out ‘why’ so much. people don’t know what they want. they just know what they want when they see it.”

“Mediocre performers practice in the most pleasant way possible. Great achievers practice in the most deliberate and self-critical way. Often they break their craft down to its smallest constituent parts, and then they work on one tiny piece of the activity over and over again.”
