The Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks have flopped out of our rankings <\/span>from last season,<\/span><\/a> Here\u2019s our list of the most popular NBA teams in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Oklahoma City Thunder<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Seattle SuperSonics controversially relocated to smaller market Oklahoma City in 2008. Despite their market size the Thunder are one of the most popular NBA teams thanks to their shrewd dealings in the draft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Steven Adams were early draft successes for the franchise and have helped to build the franchises popularity. The Thunder also continue to accumulate a treasure trove of picks which they\u2019ve turned into stars including Chet Holmgren and Josh Giddey.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. San Antonio Spurs<\/b><\/h3>\n

Led by Tim Duncan the San Antonio Spurs went on to win five NBA championships in 15 years, a dynasty which also starred supercoach Gregg Popovich as well as Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. The Spurs haven’t had a winning season since 2019, but generational freak Victor Wembanyama will no doubt take them to the next level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. New York Knicks<\/b><\/h3>\n

New York is the biggest city in America and the Knicks have used the city\u2019s aura to become one of the most recognisable sports teams in the world. Matchups against the Bulls are among the<\/span> biggest rivalries in the NBA<\/span><\/a> and the games are hyped and often fiery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the franchise has been in despair in recent times, Knicks fans are hardcore and they can all be hopeful of a return to the success of previous generations which featured Patrick Ewing, John Starks and Charles Oakley.<\/span><\/p>\n
