Fan favorites for any professional sports team are what could be considered the heart of a franchise. They have a style of play about them that makes them unheralded; fans identify with them through their play which makes them, to some degree, untouchable. Who are exactly fan favorites? Athletes such as Andre Iguodala of the Golden State Warriors, C.J. Anderson of the Denver Broncos and Fletcher Cox for the Philadelphia Eagles. Not necessarily superstars but their play in their respective fields have garnered the respect of fans.
For DeAndre Bembry, the Atlanta Hawks rookie could be a fan favorite.
