Wow
Thats disappointing..
I mean, Lakers?? all this time he was a closet Laker fan?
Any other team I could forgive, even Spurs (especially the Kawhi era Spurs) I can understand as they play beautiful basketball and epitome of team basketball… but Lakers??
Geez…. I'm actually really shocked.

nah JK. every so often I admire Laker fans. after all, they embody some of the best virtues of fandom: they love their team, even tho their team is a stinking pile of **** which is offensive to every other created thing on earth.
so kudos to them
I don't find them admirable beause they aren't any different to other team's diehard fans. I find them offensive because there are a lot of loud casual bandwagon fans, not because they are diehard fans like we are.
I see what you mean, I think. But aren't there a few real LA fans? I knew a girl in HS that was a Laker fan. I could never figure out how a good person like her could be so confused. A few yrs later I went to her dad's wake. He was a German immigrant to the USA and he had become a big Laker fan in the early-mid 80s back in Berlin.
Regardless of whether her dad was an **** or not for rooting for the Lakers from Berlin, I kinda admired her for rooting for the Lakers here in Phoenix. After all, we **** hate the Lakers. It's not like rooting for the Dallas Cowboys here-- you can get away with that. But the Lakers? You can get called out for that shir in 6th grade by yer teacher in this town.
So... I dunno. Yer right. There's lots of bandwagon fans. But doesn't that make it impressive to be a Laker fan? Here? In some way?
I dunno.
