The Miami Heat fans get a lot of flack for supposedly not knowing about their team and being fair weather fans. Even with the big three, the stadium is usually pretty empty at tip off. Usually by mid to late first quarter do the rest of the fans start settling in. It's really not cool to be fashionable late to a NBA basketball game. Some Miami Heat fans treat the game like it's the latest hip nightclub on South Beach. It's just the place to be, but they really don't know what their watching on the floor.
Fanified.com was built to bring the most knowledgeable fans together in a open discussion about what they love most. It also was built to see who actually has the best fans. Currently the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls are on the website. Out of those three the Miami Heat have the lowest certification test scores and lowest percent of people passing. The Los Angeles Lakers have the top fans on the site with a remarkable 89% passing and a score of 79%. That leaves the Chicago Bulls in second 72% of people passing with a average 75% on the test. It should be interesting to see if these trends continue and to see what the other teams produce.
It's still to early to tell but I find it very interesting that Miami fans are way behind LA and Chicago. So far the stereotypes are correct, the Miami Heat fans are the least knowledgeable fans in the NBA.
