The NBA continuously gains popularity as more Aussies make their way across the states in hopes of getting drafted. The most recent draftee is Benigo native Dyson Daniels, and preceding him was Josh Giddey. Both stars love the AFL, and most footy fans even have an NBA team they support.

The NBA's history shares a different story as the league learns the ins and outs of the sports business, and only five teams have won more than three championships in its history. It is exceptionally skewed in comparison to the VFL/AFL premiership storyline.

But if you're unsure of which team to support, or are just beginning to take an interest in the NBA, here is part two of our ultimate guide to knowing which NBA team you should support based on your AFL following.

4. Port Adelaide Power

Toronto Raptors

The Power have a very decorated history, especially in the SANFL. Since they have joined the AFL, they compare to the likes of the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors' first season in the NBA was in 1996, similar to the Power, who joined the AFL in 1997. Both teams have claimed one title in their time in these leagues.

The Raptors were more successful more recently in 2019 compared to the Power's victory in 2004.

Port's long history has allowed its fan base to have deep enriched roots and has become a very polarising fan base. The start of every home game that has INXS wrapped around the stadium is either torture for some fans or exciting for others.

The Raptors fan bases are tamer but are just as passionate. Their recent success has become pure happiness, and it is almost infectious. It has put them on the map and made them a relevant team again.

It is the same story for Port. They were relevant in the early 2000s with their success, and then their unsuccessful years made them fade again.

However, their resurgence in recent years has put them back on the map, and rivalries have been reignited.

Both fan bases are protective, and some rivalries won't go away — the Showdown between the Crows and Power, and from the Raptor's point of view, they've also developed a rivalry with the 76ers.

The clutch shot made by Kawhi Leonard that bounced four times on the rim on the buzzer knocked the 76ers out of the playoffs.

After disappointing seasons, both teams have a chance to bounce back and use the roster to their full potential and make the most of trying to make another finals run. So stay awhile and hope the best for some success.
