On Wednesday’s episode of “Run It Back,” Lou Williams and his co-hosts spoke about which teams have “front-running” fan bases.

In other words, which NBA fans only stick with their teams when they are playing well?

Williams started by defending the New York Knicks, saying they have a loyal group of fans who aren’t afraid of sharing their opinions, even when they are negative.

He then said the Miami Heat has the real front-running fans.

“They only show up when things are going well,” Williams said, per NBACentral.

Williams spent years in the NBA, so he knows a thing or two about fans and how they treat their beloved teams.

When it comes to the Heat, it seems that the fans are only filling the stands when Miami is doing well.

At the height of the playoffs, the arena will be packed and full of happy and rowdy fans, but when things aren’t going so great for the Heat, everyone seems to disappear.

The Heat fans will be watching closely on Wednesday night as the team battles to win a place in the playoffs.

They are facing off against the Chicago Bulls in the Play-In Tournament.

The winner will take on the Atlanta Hawks for a final chance at earning the eighth seed.

Unfortunately for Miami fans, the game will be held in Chicago.

If the Heat are able to earn their spot in the postseason, they will be back in Miami, hoping to impress their followers.

That will give everyone a chance to prove Williams wrong.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
