Or any Big 4 pro sports team? Just wondering if what Cat fans would do. I am inclined to say yes.
Would you support an NBA team in Louisville?

Sure. And I live in Phoenix.
Has Louisville tried to get an expansion NBA team or move a team?
Or does Jurich have the whole city on lockdown?

Not really, used to be a big NBA fan as a kid but rarely watch now, just not that interesting to me. Plus, ticket prices and other costs aren't worth it to me. Have UK season tickets and that's good enough for me.
I did a Google search on it, and Seattle seems to be the popular choice, but Louisville comes up a lot too.
I think it would be great for the state and bad for the Cards.
Win / win. I definitely support it.

I supported the last pro basketball team in Louisville, would do it again.
I haven't been an NBA fan at all but I would certainly love to have a team nearby. And yes I would support it a few games out of the year.
I'm not a NBA fan at all, so I honestly would never go. But if it helped bring added revenue, etc to the city and state, I'm for it.
You know what one of the biggest hurdles will be (in all seriousness)? If the team is named Louisville or Kentucky. I think that will cause some issue

No,, don't care to visit that city.. Add in I've not watched a whole NBA game in over a decade..
No, but I'm also from DC, live there currently, and already have a favorite NBA team in the Washington Wizards. They'd probably be a team I root for outside of Wizards games though.
Yes, especially if there was a UK player or 13 on it... 
I would like for Louisville to get a pro team, I enjoyed the Kentucky Colonels and still miss them..be great for some of the cats to land there.
Absolutely, I'd love to see a nba team in the state of Kentucky l. They would have no affiliation with the tards so I'd root for them
Man an NBA team in the vile would be so sweet
IDK y people would b against it
It would B so good for this state
Plus we wouldn't have to travel so far to see
Lebron Steph Durant AD and the rest

100% yes. It would help integrate Louisville into the rest of the state and vice versa, without having the clowns at UL dictate this to us preemptively. Louisville is a good city made insufferable by Cards fans. It shouldn't be this way. Plus, it would really piss off Louisville fans.
Of course I would. Why anybody wouldn't want a successful pro team in our largest city is beyond me. It doesn't matter who your college rooting interest is, an NBA team in Louisville would be great.
Call them the Kentucky Colonels or Thorobreds, get the dirty bird signage off the yum, relocate UL women's bball and volleyball to Freedom Hall and I would be in.
Haven't you heard? Rooting for the cards to win is also good for the state, or so I'm told.
Not really. They'd just be extorting the city for a new arena and an unfair share of the revenue in a few years and we've already got a team in town for that. I guess the upside to a Pro sports team is they'd actually leave. Why cant Tom Jurich move the Cards to Jeffersonville.
The YUM! Center lease with UL makes it highly unlikely a NBA team would come here (unless it were to play in Freedom Hall)
Personally, I'd rather see a team in Cincy than Louisville.
we probably look at it that way because that is what's so huge in Kentucky in terms of college sports.
We do already have a minor league baseball team - and people seem to enjoy them, but.......
I wouldn't mind football, but not so sure we'd have the resources to support
This would require rubbing elbows with and rooting for the same team as Cardinal fans...therefore, no way!
I would not and it is very obvious that unless the contract is changed, there is no way any pro team can play in the yum center. None of them will play in Freedom Hall so where are they going to play? An NBA team in Louisville is just a dream.
We need one in Louisville.
It would damage Lil Brothel badly but that is too bad.

It's been talked about for years and I have always wanted a pro team in Louisville.
I have zero hope of it happening because of the local mafia that is Ramsey and Jurich.
