Of course they are...they're the "sexy" team in the NBA like the Yankees are in baseball.

Fisrt of all, only gay fans of the Lakers think this team is sexy. Just because they think Sasha and Luke are sexy doesn't mean they are the most sexy franchise. It is sad to see an all-time great like Kobe Bryant get into actions with Luke and Sasha, but all is resolved once they up in the playoffs with high payroll againt the Grizzlies and the game winner by yours truly gives them a rude awakening.

Of course. Everyone knows that value is measured in sexyness. That's economics 101.
