The NBA continuously gains popularity as more Aussies make their way across the states in hopes of getting drafted. The most recent draftee is Benigo native Dyson Daniels, and preceding him was Josh Giddey. Both stars love the AFL, and most footy fans even have an NBA team they support.

The NBA's history shares a different story as the league learns the ins and outs of the sports business, and only five teams have won more than three championships in its history. It is exceptionally skewed in comparison to the VFL/AFL premiership storyline.

But if you're unsure of which team to support, or are just beginning to take an interest in the NBA, here is part two of our ultimate guide to knowing which NBA team you should support based on your AFL following.

3. North Melbourne Kangaroos

Detroit Pistons

Yes, the Kangaroos can be compared to a team that has also had a lot of unsuccessful finals. Detroit Pistons, who have been in the NBA since 1958, have only won three titles.

North Melbourne was granted entry into the league in 1925 and has accrued four VFL/AFL premierships. Both teams have been relatively unsuccessful; however, they have had their respective star players along the journey.

Brent Harvey is the heart and soul of North Melbourne, as he broke the record for most games played in the history of the game. If the club couldn't celebrate wins, they could celebrate individual greatness.

The Pistons do not have the same calibre player, but Bob Lanier and Isaiah Thomas are arguably the Pistons' best players. Lanier's time was significantly shorter than Isaiah's, but both players severed a large portion of their time for the club.

Just like every good club, there is a rival that fuels the fire between fan bases. As Hawthorn and Essendon are to the Kangaroos, the Bulls are to the Pistons.

It came about when it was 'Jordan's Bulls' against the 'bad boy' Pistons. The constant losses to the Bulls fueled this rivalry and have added some spice to this suffering fan base.

Both fan bases will grow with their success if it comes.

If you want to drive the bandwagon for the future, now is your time to jump on. It will be a challenging few years, but these teams have a chance to be back fighting for glory. But it will be in time.
