MourningView: Sep 2, 2006; Is this Heaven?

Fans desperately want to believe that crowds have a bigger impact on the game than they actually do because it makes them feel important and like they're actually part of the team. "Yeah man, we totally willed the team to a win there. We carried LeBron. WE won that title!"

I want Mario to hop from team to team for the rest of his career and get yelled at by that team's star player(s).

Still, much as it annoys me, I sort of chuckled every time the fans trotted it out and the Heat suddenly nosedived again.

Karma and Christmas, both happening for me all at once.

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I think whether or not fans have impact really depends on the player. I would say there's quite a few who don't notice but then you have guys who claim it really impacts them. I guess on one scale is Jalen Rose who claimed crowd love or hate was pretty much what made him tick, and then on the other end is Kobe who claims he doesn't hear the fans at all.

Chalmers and Cole apparently have a head full of cheering fans no matter what they do, based on their play this game

Some people really like performing and feed off the energy from a crowd. It can help to increase their confidence, I guess.

You don't understand what Karma means if you think it applies here. GOD ROOTS FOR MY TEAM WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS! I love the finals posters who drive by their lovely twitter sports fan posts.
