    Laos randomly loving the Cavaliers and Afghanistan loving the Steelers is...odd.

    Respect to Qataris but no one convince me that the list is correct. Except New Jersey/Rochester based people I am sure Nets supporters in Turkey is rarity.

    Lakers, Celtics because of 70s, Rockets in my generation (Hakeem, Rudy T), Utah - Memo Okur), Magics&Kings ( Hedo), Philly, Cavs, Heat, Bucks and again Rockets ( Furki, Cedi, Yurtseven, Turkcan&Ilyasova and Alpi) all have more supporters than Nets in Turkey.

    Again, respect to Qataris' love but the list cannot be correct.

    Well they did manage to bribe their way into hosting the world cup.

    Tiny country with massive oil reserves that basically gives everyone in their country a good quality of living with healthcare - they are at least sharing their wealth.

    Must be because of Rockets Legends™ Tracy McGrady & Carmelo Anthony ;)

    Qatar is not far from Jordan where Hakeem used to live.

    Because we drafted Jalen Green

    If we drafted Mobley we would be near the bottom. Lol

    Anybody who follows the Rockets on Facebook already knew that all of south-east Asia are Warriors fans. One thing I don't miss from the Harden era is literally anything about the Rockets on social media being flooded with badly spelled inane garbage about how Curry is the greatest player who ever lived.

    Qatar is just ahead of the curve for now. One day the Rockets will be #1 worldwide.

    This sounds like a plausible reason.
