Fever diehards react as UConn fans take offense over Myles Turner’s bold statement
SHARE

Myles Turner, in a recent article on The Players’ Tribune, made a bold statement declaring Indianapolis, Indiana as the basketball capital. He pointed to the Indiana Pacers’ back-to-back playoff runs in the NBA and the rising popularity of the Indiana Fever, particularly behind star player Caitlin Clark, as evidence to support his claim.

However, this assertion sparked a heated debate among fans, particularly those from UConn who adamantly believe that Storrs, Connecticut is the true basketball capital. With 18 championship banners hanging in UConn’s arena, fans from Connecticut were quick to dismiss Turner’s comments, arguing that professional sports organizations like the NBA do not care about college programs.

Despite the backlash from Connecticut fans, Turner stood by his statement, also mentioning cities like Minnesota and New York as potential contenders for the title of basketball capital. He clarified that his remarks were focused on professional basketball, highlighting the presence of teams like the Lynx and Timberwolves in Minnesota, and the Knicks and Liberty in New York, alongside the Pacers and Fever in Indiana.

One of the key points of contention was the performance of the Pacers in the playoffs against the Boston Celtics. Turner believed that his team had the potential to beat the Celtics, despite ultimately losing the series. The close margins of the games and the belief that they could have been up 3-1 in the series added to Turner’s frustration at the missed opportunity.

In conclusion, while Turner’s claim of Indianapolis being the basketball capital may have stirred up controversy, it is clear that the love for the sport runs deep in both Indiana and Connecticut. Each location has its own rich basketball history and passionate fan base, making it difficult to definitively crown one as the ultimate basketball capital.
