5 incidents when top NBA players talked about their favorite NFL teams

#3 Russell Westbrook – Dallas Cowboys

The NBA's triple double machine has changed cities and stadiums. Instead of representing the Washington Wizards, he will now represent the LA Lakers in the upcoming 2021-22 NBA season.

The explosive superstar loves to break records and rock designer clothes, but he also loves to bowl and support his favorite NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys. Russell Westbrook has often taken to social media in the past to show his excitement and support for Dallas.

In a tweet dated Oct 2014, Russell could not hide how he felt as the team from Dallas battled Durant's favorite, the Washington Redskins. Unfortunately for Westbrook, fortunately for KD, the Redskins beat the Cowboys in that game but Russ was ecstatic in the high octane match.

#4 Tim Duncan – Chicago Bears

The San Antonio Spurs legend won five NBA championships during his career. He also won the 1997-98 Rookie of the Year, two NBA MVPs and three NBA Finals MVPs. He was inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame in 2020.

Duncan was a talkless, play-big kind of player. He let his performance answer all trash talkers, critics, and doubters. The phenomenal player also enjoyed a quiet life outside of the NBA court. Rarely sharing details from his personal life or preferences.

Tim Duncan, a die-hard #Bears fan, delayed a #Spurs team flight in 2007 because the Bears/Seahawks playoff game had gone into OT.

But there is one thing we know for a fact about him: Duncan was an avid Chicago Bears fan. His love for the team and passion for following their escapades was so incredible that he allegedly delayed a Spurs flight back in 2007 to watch the Bears play the Seattle Seahawks in overtime.

In one of the rarest and most memorable interviews, Duncan timidly talks about the Chicago Bulls hiring John Fox as the coach. Tim uses the word "we" while talking about the Chicago team in the NFL to give us just a slight hint of his loyalty to the team.

#5 Stephen Curry – Carolina Panthers

The greatest shooter of all-time, contrary to popular belief, is not shooting the ball 24/7 in the gym. He has his own pastime hobbies, likes, and passions. After all, a man needs to have more than one thing to keep himself entertained.

Curry has his fair share of hobbies and entertainment activities. For one, he loves to golf. Another thing Chef Curry loves to do when he's free is follow the Carolina Panthers. The 2020-21 leading scorer in the NBA can be seen discussing the prospect of buying his favorite team, the Panthers, in a subsequent video with Nipsey Hussle.
