This is just for fun but lets go I will be doing mostly football (soccer),but feel free to use hockey,rugby,baseball or whatever you like

Lakers-Liverpool
Why: Consistently talking about history even though they suck,big hopes small outcomes.
Clippers-Dortmund
Why: Always overshadowed but recently getting the better of their rivals,play one of the most interesting game in the sport.
Knicks-Fenerbahce
Why: All they do is shoot from outside,team with history but a bad couple of years recently
Boston-Man United
Why: Always successful,obnoxious fans.Most championships in the league (do boston have the most)
Something fun to do in the off season for us fans

lakers ---- yankees. always the highest payroll, lots of flags in the arena/stadium, but always filled with excused why they are underperforming.
spurs----- cardinals. always competing, never the marquee team and never the highest payroll, and a small market wonder.
supersonics--- expo's. enough said
blazers----- mariners. always have a strong fan base, but just not quite good enough to compete, other than a few exceptions.
clippers---- nationals. up and coming stud, will they achieve the improvable?

Hey guys Laker fan here not looking to argue just thought this was an interesting discussion so....yea....I think you could swap the Lakers and Boston because while Liverpool have won a lot, in the last 23 years they have only won the premier league (at the time it was division 1) once and in the last 23 years Boston have won 1 championship. The Lakers I feel are more like Man utd because they have won more recently and they are only 1 championship behind Boston, Man utd have only just taken over Liverpools record for titles and before they did Liverpool fans were always going on about how they are better because they've won more (which Boston fans do to), so thats just my opinion based on the fact that I live in and grew up in England as a massive football (soccor) fan.
