Basketball is the only sport I really follow these days, so just the Lakers.

I was a HUGE Raiders fan up until about 2002 and became a fan when they killed the Redskins in 83 or 84 -- loved Jim Plunkett and Marcus Allen. I haven't payed them (or football) much attention since we got womped on by Tampa Bay, mostly because I just don't have time to follow two sports closely. Maybe when that idiot Al Davis dies I'll start following them again.

I'd like to add Lithuania's national basketball team to the list. Pocius would have been a solid Laker.

Lakers- started following them during the 1991 season when I was 7.
I bleed purple and gold and I always will.

Raiders- started following them in 1992 when they were still located
in Los Angeles.

Angels - instantly became a fan in 1994 after I saw the movie "Angels
in the Outfield"

Lakers - Born and raised in LA, became a fan because of my father.

And that's it. Seriously, I don't watch any other sport except basketball. :)

Los Angeles Lakers following since a kid in 1980
Los Angeles Dodgers same as above but my true passion is the Lakers since baseball was ruined for awhile by steroid using ass-hats.
Los Angeles Clippers (Yeah I like the Clips, Sue me! But they always take a 2nd seat to the Lakers, but I support our L.A. teams). I usually watch the home games to keep my NBA fix under control when Lakers aren't playing. Allthough I grow tired of the same routine of them being up the whole game and blow it in the 4th.

When the hell do we get our L.A. Rams back? LOL

LA isn't getting the rams back right after they draft a real QB. ;-)
