How Popular would an NBA Team be in Pittsburgh? Would fans immediately embrace the sport? Would they immediately over take the Pens?

I think there’d be initial support because of the novelty of it but after the first season or two it’d probably wane, unless they were extremely successful.
Basketball in general isn’t big around here. Are there any locals in the NBA?
I think it’d be cool for a relatively small big city to have all 4 major sports teams but I don’t think it’ll ever happen.
Yeah but how popular was/is Hockey when the Pens weren't good? A successful team would definitely generate interest.
The Penguins weren’t just “not good,” they were a lottery team in bankruptcy with no stars and a crumbling arena. And even then they had a hardcore base of 13-15k die hards every night, robust TV ratings and high merch sales.Yeah but how popular was/is Hockey when the Pens weren't good?

Yeah, I haven't enjoyed the NBA since the 90s. Haven't really been enjoying the college game the last few years, either.I really liked watching the NBA in the 80s and 90s but my interest in it now is pretty much non existent.
If Pittsburgh ever got a NBA I would probably try my best to follow it however, it would never come close to the Pens or Steelers for me.
No thanks.How Popular would an NBA Team be in Pittsburgh? Would fans immediately embrace the sport? Would they immediately over take the Pens?
I actually follow really closely Basket-Ball, so I would be more than happy if Pittsburgh could get a team.
