Why you hate the Lakers

[Helix Versa]

stately, plump buck mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirdled, was sustained gently-behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:

-- Introibo ad altare Dei.

Halted, he peered down the dark winding stairs and called up coarsely:

-- Come up, Kinch. Come up, you fearful jesuit.

[Benvolio_Montague]

MIB,

For the record, I don't care about the money. If I spend $500 for one night, and gain a friend for life (and I won't hold you being a Spurs fan for a second), then I'd call it even. Good luck, bud. I do know I'll win.

But in battalions.

[aka_USAPA]

Anyways, congrats on the win vs. NO... I knew the Spurs would. I bet on it, just didn't have any takers. Got to get some zzzzzzz.... eitherway, we'll paint the town red when you pay up. Ahahahhahahahaha.... G/L bro.

[Benvolio_Montague]

I will withdraw: but this intrusion shall

The quarrel is between our masters.

Let us not forget a modern master, the band LFO in "Summer Girls" wrote, and i quote "Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets". Deep shit.

Hey Disco, how's the covert operations going for you?

[Discoflux]

That;s probably not gonna work they can just look at your post historyith

most folks aren't gonna go to the trouble. Now listen to my LFO link.

I don't hate the Lakers,... in fact I love them, especially when they cry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yls0ke7CsKc). :)

[Benvolio_Montague]

Good morrow, cousin.

[aka_USAPA]

Take it from here, Helix... until I get back. Hey, you'll be there when MIB hang out. I''ll pay for ya.

[Discoflux]

Hey Disco, how's the covert operations going for you?

Here's what I've uncovered so far:
1. Spew fans are cocky as all hell
2. They are not aware of how good we are nor the smackdown that we have in a FedEx box shipping out to them.
3. They are much more intelligent and entertaining than the troglodyte Utah fans (bleech... some inbred shit going on out there)
4. At least they have some pride. I'm looking forward to some mutual repspect.

I plan to to bring more info back undercover Eddie Murphy style:

[Helix Versa]

Haha for sure...

I'm gettin a little tired myself, so I may be out shortly.

[Helix Versa]

When I'm down and I want my frown turn upside down; I put in tapes of the 97 and 98 finals and laugh...and laugh...

Silly Jazz fans and their arrogant--yet, unearned demand for respect!

It does *now*

my personal name for him is Silkk da Shocker. << describes his game to a T

I did not enjoy that one iota. You bastard!

[Helix Versa]

I think that'll be the only thing that will be coming out of the Spur fans' mouth when numero 7 gets on them haha

[Discoflux]

Haha for sure...

I'm gettin a little tired myself, so I may be out shortly.

You can sleep when we're holding the trophy.

[Helix Versa]

It's quite alright because the tears of '03 ran down the black and silver clad fans of '04...I'm sure of it (saw it on the face of a co-worker)

[Death In June]

If you can't watch a basketball game without hospitalizing yourself, then you have some serious fucking problems. Those bitch tittied maniacs in LA would have probably murdered or eaten somebody if their team had actually lost the finals. Fuck Laker fans. They're one hair away from being recognized as "retarded" by our nations taxonomist.

[WalterBenitez]

Hmmmm... interesting question ... :wakeup

I assume I hate them because they exists :D

[KidCongo]

they get shit handed to them

[LA24]

I love them because they're hated.

[ginobili's bald spot]

I hate them because they are a more successful franchise and it makes me feel insecure.

I hate them because they are from L.A. and I live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.

Kobe - Need I say more.

Here's a picture of Kobe's in the very near future. :married:

[Harry Callahan]

I would like to chime in on this one....just tell the truth on why you hate the lakers let start with the basics..

1. 14 NBA championships
2. 26 finals appearances
3. 55 years of playoffs appearances in their 60 year history
4. Mychael Thompson trade whom helped the Lakers get that elusive championship over Boston in boston
5. .4 seconds that destroyed the spurs hope of repeating


uhhh.. am i missing something?

other than that this thread is pointless.... the spurs dont even match the lakers franchise in popularity, fan base, player hall of famers, and jersey sales.... you guys have been a boring championship team and will always be known for that even if you do win another one.... good luck in the WCF hopefully la wipes your sorry asses up

GO LAKERS

A-holes like this (see above)

[Harry Callahan]

When I was a little kid, I liked the Lakers (when Wilt played for them). I have realized through the years how you can put a BIG FAT ASTERISK on their championships because with just about ever top player they have acquired through illegitimate means (trading away garbage for top notch players and or draft picks).

I could point out a dozen examples (and I have in earlier posts) but lets point out a fairly recent one - stealing O'Neal from Orlando while giving nothing in return. People forget this move allowed LA to send a much lesser player (Vlade Divac) in the last year of his contract to the Charlotte Hornets for the rights to Kobe Bryant. This trade was accepted by the brilliant Bob Bass, director of basketball operations for the Hornets at the time. Remember Bob Bass? The Hornets got one year out of Vlade for the rights to Kobe Bryant (one of the most stupid trades in the history of any sport).

The sense of entitlement of Lakers fans is also very irritating.

If Phillip Jackson looked objectively, he could put ******** for each of the 8 championships they've won since 1980. All you have to do is at how the Lakers acquired almost every key player they've had in the last 25 years. See below.

Jabbar
Ervin Johnson
James Worthy
Byron Scott
Shaq
Kobe Bryant

All were acquired for washed up players or less than that (with shaq only the money).
I'll be glad when Bryant's body gives out and the Lakers have to rebuild legitimately at some point. They've not had rebuild legitimately in their modern history. Hopefully, Memphis is out of top players to give away.

[DarrinS]

LA is a shitty sports town.


Just realized that Jack Nicholson is 71!

[Lakers999]

Im sorry, but I dont respect idiots like him who go around sexually assaulting people


nice avatar are your just filling the stereotype? or are you really that proud to represent the south you have to put up a confederate flag to tell everyone on this site that you hate minorities

[LakerLanny]

They've not had rebuild legitimately in their modern history.


Yeah, intentionally tanking a season and faking injuries to do so is a way more honest way to build a team.

Your team wouldn't even have Tissue Timmy if they don't intentionally tank the prior season and you and I know it. The NBA had to change the lottery rules after that fiasco, as usual the *purs are pushing the rules a bit beyond the limits of good taste.

Just tell your "big 3" to stop playing basketball like they are on roller skates, they are taking the flopping thing to almost Stockton-eque levels.

[Lakers999]

Ruth Chris in L.A. is subpar in my opinion, but the Las Vegas one is top-notch.

austin one is pretty good IMO....

ive been to the anaheim one and that is also good...

[samikeyp]

Go around? You talk as if Kobe does this on a regular basis. There was one incident and it was dropped because the woman had no case. Besides...what does this have to do with basketball?

I don't hate anything sports related because its just sports but the one thing that I dislike about LA is Phil Jackson. He is a good coach but has a blatant disrespect for opponents and for the game. I guess I am old school but I believe you respect everyone but fear no one. I actually have less dislike for them now than I did when Shaq was there pretty much for the same reasons as I stated for Jackson. He continues to prove my theory that he is the second best basketball coach in Los Angeles.

[Indazone]

Cause Phil crybaby Jackson gets more calls his way than any other coach in the NBA.

http://www.insidehoops.com/hate-the-lakers-120405.shtml

I know every team in the NBA loses anywhere from two to 10 games thanks to calls or non-calls being wrong in the last minute of play, but they need something in the rules for next year to prevent something this egregious.

After the game, though, is when Kobe reminded me to dislike him. When asked about the call, Kobe said with that smug look on his face: “he fouled the hell out of me.”

Yeah, whatever, liar.

Then there’s Phil Jackson. If you look at his post-game interviews, after every loss he complains about the officials. He’s usually stealthy about it, sometimes blatant, but he can continue to coach while George Karl gets suspended for it. The ironic thing is that Phil Jackson has been the beneficiary of more bad calls than any active coach in the NBA.

Right now the Lakers aren’t a team I want to do well so they can be beaten in the playoffs. I want them beaten every night. I am a fan of any team playing them.

[Magic_Johnson]

Lakers are my 2nd team.
But i don't like them with Kobe as leader

[Discoflux]

That's like saying a Las Vegas buffet is a shitty Steakhouse.
You would be correct in your focus on the steak, but you would be missing the bounty of goodness that is all around in LA.

[beachwood]

I want to beat the Lakers into submission and rip their hearts out, but for some reason I don't hate them... yet. I hate their fans more than anything.

I kinda respect that they made it back to being one of the top teams in the West. After last season, did anyone really think they'd be the #1 seed in the West? I'm glad they're back though, I love the rivalry we have with them. Phx and the Mavs are true punk bitches; the Lakers were the mountain we had to climb. They used to beat us like a red headed stepchild, but we finally ended their run.

Now, its payback for '04.

it's obvious you don't know Phil at all.
The man is brilliant. His style is incomparable and his fingerprints are all over the Lakers. He is great because he understands and communicates the mentality of championship basketball on a deeper mental AND spiritual level. You don't understand it, but that never stopped the naive and ignorant before, so keep running your mouth.

As much as Spurs fans hate the Lakers, they respect the hell out of them more than any other team. If they deny it, they are lying to themselves. They might respect the Piston fans more and all but they respect this Laker team beceause they have had the most success against them in the Duncan era than anyone else has. They are the most hated rival they have ever had. The Mavs dont even come close. Phil Sucks bumper stickers were on the the back of spurs fans vehicles. They DESPISE yet RESPECT the Lakers more than any other team.:lobt2:

I can tell you why you hate the Lakers. We've been a thorn in your side for your whole existence. The Lakers are a very winning franchise and when they're down, it's usually not for too long. I'm sure you guys don't have the same disdain for The Clippers, Kings, or even the Warriors.

Actually for quite a few Spurs fans I know, this is correct.

However I must still :lol at "we've".

[slayermin]

Also, most of the Laker fans don't know shit about football. They try to talk the game because they see USC play but they are clueless on strategy. If it wasn't for Long Beach Poly, the kids would all grow up to become soccer players. Go Chivas! :rolleyes

And as far as Laker Lackey is concerned, he picked the Hornets in game seven. Nuff said.

You got me on that one, I say We've as if I'm on the bench or about to get ready and go in the game, but that's how much of a fan I am. I'm sure there are plenty of Spurs fans that say we, we've, us just like I do.

I actually don't really hate the Lakers, but I hate how ESPN and every sports writer out there makes them the favorites....they aren't the favorites in this series. It's usually better to sweep but we'll take the series in 5.

[HarlemHeat37]

-Lakers have the most bandwagoners and homers of any sport..

-They got an all-star C for free, possibly because of David Stern..

the biggest reason for me is Kobe Bryant..

he`s probably the fakest man in sports history..he has the worst homer fans in all of sports, who constantly make unrealistic comparisons involving him(they have been for a minute now)..he throws his teammates under the bus, even though they didn`t do anything wrong..he sabotaged the Lakers in the 2004 finals..he`s an adulterer that has now gotten caught multiple times..AND worst of all, he`s an alleged rapist..

it`s sad that so many kids look up to Kobe..he`s a piece of shit..I feel bad for his children, because they have no idea about their father`s past..

[0.4secs.Dfish]

The reason why I hate the Spurs is that they lack the character of a champ. No other championship team whines like the Spurs. Man up and just play....you guys flop as much as any team and you guys complain when someone flops against your team..

As far as the fans...most Spurs fans are just like every other teams fans....
If you guys go to a Lakers forum and we discuss the teams we hate...we dont go attacking the players personally...that is what is classless about Spurs fans...
We might hate the team and hate how the player conducts himself on the court, i.e flops or cheap shots...but we dont attack personally.....if Kobe steps on a fly he is characterized as an animal hater...just comment on the game and show some class

Huh? So calling Bowen "dirty" isn't personal?

Horry was an angel in LA, but now he's the devil incarnate?

Yes, Spursfan whines. Like any fan of anything. "Metallica sucks... they sold out!"


But Spurs players don't whine. When have you seen the Spurs whine?

Tim Duncan doesn't whine. Tony doesn't whine. They just play harder next time.

But, whatever, it doesn't really matter. Talking shit on a forum doesn't net you any wins.

[0.4secs.Dfish]

Ok so Duncan popping out his big eyes and showing off to the refs by continuing to stare them down is not whining....and calling Bowen dirty is not personal.....thats just describing his play style....commenting on off the court matters is personal....and everyone in the league knows Spurs whine all the time

They whine too much definitely, but the reason behind that is because the defense they play is too good and the old ass refs the league have can never see well enough to make the correct call.

[midgetonadonkey]

I hate any team that is not the Spurs.

[shelshor]

After their decade of futility in the 60s, I pretty much regarded the Flakers in the same light as the pre-1969 Mets--sort of cute losers
Then they finally broke thru and won a fluke championship after Elgin Baylor had to retire in midseason when his knees finally gave out; sadly the greedy pigs tried to cut Elgin out of his share of the championship money
I've hated them with passion since

Kobe is too smug

If you've never seen Timmy or Tony whine, you haven't watched your team intently. I've noticed how Kobe stares down the ref's and points at them when he doesn't agree with a call (very often), but come on, you can't tell me many of the Spurs don't put on the "I didn't do anything wrong, what the fuck?" face with wide eyes fairly often.
