Without further ado, let's get started...

Atlanta Hawks - Migos

Los Angeles Clippers - Billy Crystal

Comedian and actor Billy Crystal has been a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers since they were the San Diego Clippers, deciding to support the smaller team in LA due to their underdog status.

Los Angeles Lakers - Jack Nicholson

All 32 NBA teams' biggest celebrity superfan, including Barack Obama, Drake and Tiger Woods (2)

There were so many people to choose from here, as nearly every Hollywood personality supports the Lakers, but we have opted for actor and filmmaker Jack Nicholson, who has been seen courtside numerous times over the years.

Memphis Grizzlies - Justin Timberlake

All 32 NBA teams' biggest celebrity superfan, including Barack Obama, Drake and Tiger Woods (3)

Pop superstar and actor Justin Timberlake is a huge fan of the Memphis Grizzlies and even has a minority share in the team. He was recently seen urging his 63m followers on Twitter to vote Ja Morant into the All-Star Game.

Miami Heat - DJ Khaled

All 32 NBA teams' biggest celebrity superfan, including Barack Obama, Drake and Tiger Woods (4)

DJ Khaled is not a very gifted basketball player, but watching him try is very amusing. The Heat is a big franchise with many famous fans, but we have chosen the New Orleans-born record producer.

Milwaukee Bucks - Sheryl Crow

Singer and actress Sheryl Crow is a huge fan of the current champions, the Milwaukee Bucks.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Craig Kilborn

One of the hardest teams to find a superfan for, former talkshow host Craig Kilburn is a huge Timberwolves fan and even trained with the team during summer practice in 2003.

New Orleans Pelicans - Lil Wayne

Rapper Lil Wayne is reportedly a fan of the New Orleans Pelicans, although he might actually support the Lakers, or whoever is winning, we're not too sure. He was born in New Orleans, so that's good enough for us.

New York Knicks - Spike Lee

All 32 NBA teams' biggest celebrity superfan, including Barack Obama, Drake and Tiger Woods (5)

Perhaps the biggest celebrity NBA fan there is, film director Spike Lee can often be seen courtside at Madison Square Garden in the New York Knicks' colours giving trash talk to opposition players.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Bill Hader

Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader is in fact a fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Their location and age doesn't help when it comes to their amount of high-profile fans.

Orlando Magic - Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods, who is probably the greatest golfer in history, is a big fan of the Orlando Magic and has been spotted courtside many times, in his work clothes.

Philadelphia 76ers - Will Smith

All 32 NBA teams' biggest celebrity superfan, including Barack Obama, Drake and Tiger Woods (6)

Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj and Kevin Hart are all fans of the Philadelphia 76ers, but we have opted for singer and actor Will Smith, because who doesn't love Will Smith?

Phoenix Suns - David Spade

Born in Birmingham, Michigan, actor David Spade does not support the Pistons, but is instead a big fan of this season's favourite to win the title, the Phoenix Suns.

Portland Trail Blazers - Elizabeth Banks

Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks married into her Portland Trail Blazers fandom. Her husband, Max Handelman, loves the Blazers, and now so does Banks.

Sacramento Kings - Brie Larson

Brie Larson is a Sacramento native and a huge fan of her Kings, receiving a shoutout from her favourite team back in 2016!

San Antonio Spurs - Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is a big San Antonio Spurs fan and has been seen rocking the silver and black on numerous occasions.

Toronto Raptors - Drake

Drake is one of the biggest names in the world, everyone knows him, and every NBA fan knows that he is a massive fan of the Toronto Raptors. His behaviour during the 2019 Finals was something to behold...

Drake was fired up during Game 6 of the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals!
