Crazy. I guess Iβm kinda that way in football, but again, Iβm in a city without a team. Do you think they will outgrow it? Or do you think this is how a generation of fans will relate to team sports forever? What happens when Steph retires?

I think it's a generation/marketing thing.
A lot of kids are front runners. They'll but the superbowl winning shirt every year for instance. This is probably by design.
I get that to a degree, but itβs supposed to end with the home town team. Thereβs got to be a line. Some things are sacred. Family, religion, and your home team. Where are the parents at?!?!
I grew up in Indiana. I was a Pacers fan. I moved here in 95'. I still am a Pacers fan (except when they play Portland) but I became a Blazers fan because this was now my home.
My boys, who plays, knows and loves the Blazers, but his favorite players are all on other teams. Because he plays, he looks at skills/players that he admires.
Oh I definitely blame the parents.
