In this episode of Nathan But Net, I sit down with Fred, an international San Antonio Spurs fan and groupchat admin, for an in-depth interview about the global NBA fan experience and the cultural differences that shape basketball fandom around the world. We talk about how international NBA fans watch games, connect in basketball groupchats, and build community online despite time zone and language barriers. Fred discusses what it’s really like supporting the Spurs and following NBA basketball from outside the United States, including his own story of becoming a Spurs fan, the moment he got hooked on the NBA, and how international NBA stars like Yao Ming changed basketball’s popularity across Asia. This episode breaks down the unique ways global basketball fans engage with the NBA—whether it’s watching live games, catching up with NBA highlights, or streaming Spurs matchups—and the creative solutions fans use to stay connected. We explore how regional backgrounds and local basketball cultures shape NBA perspectives, how eastern and western values influence sports debates, and the questions international fans want to ask American NBA fans. There’s practical conversation about how to grow NBA teams like the Spurs abroad, marketing basketball to a global audience, and what would happen if Gregg Popovich dropped into an international Spurs groupchat for a day. We talk about the feeling of being an NBA fan overseas, sometimes feeling isolated, but also the strong community that develops among international supporters. Fred shares his thoughts on how NBA fandom might change if he lived in the US, and the impact that meeting an NBA player would have for fans outside North America. This episode is packed with real stories, unique basketball questions, and first-hand insights into NBA culture, basketball viewership, and fandom worldwide. If you’re interested in international NBA fans, Spurs global supporters, basketball culture differences, global NBA interviews, or the practical realities of watching NBA basketball overseas, this conversation delivers valuable perspectives. Key topics include international NBA fan interviews, San Antonio Spurs fandom, basketball groupchat communities, NBA culture and viewership, Yao Ming’s influence on basketball in China and beyond, eastern vs. western sports values, and what it takes to grow NBA interest around the world. Whether you’re a diehard NBA fan, curious about how basketball is experienced globally, or want to hear the international side of NBA fandom, this episode gives a complete, grounded look at basketball’s global reach. | Nathan But Net #81
