I absolutely understood what you were saying. But saying 'win or lose' for such a consistently excellent and winning franchise seems a little trivial is all, copout might have been the wrong term to use.
Well, based on what I've said and based on what you just said, I think you already know I won't be doing thattheres nothing to understand, its just something to accept. a lot of people follow their local teams and thats fine because it is a choice. its their choice. others like to follow non local teams and that should be fine too.
if i told you i was from cali and i follow the timberwolves, you would just probably wonder wth?
i think people look at laker fans who are not from LA in a different light because of the past and how they are constant contenders throughout the years with very short down years.
with that said...you could still follow the team in seattle
Naw dude, I absolutely get that not winning a title=losing. Listening to Max/Marcellus and Mason/Ireland everyday, I've had that drilled into my head.
All these responses are cool
So is it fair to say that as a Lakers fan, it means to be perfect/excellent?
When were yall supposed to get Kidd??? And wasn't the Staples center technically built for the LA Kings??
and permanently denied?!?!?
. We like to laugh at the dark ages of sucky crapkins and smushcalade, but whenever I watched those games I wanted to throw my tv out the window. Even if they only missed the playoffs once what the what??? boy your about to be banned from applying to become a laker fan for atleast two years now!!!
it means always having a competitive championship caliber team on the floor
almost always i mean because them years inbetween magic and after shaq were kinda rough
being hated on 24/7 because your franchise ran over the majority of other fans teams.
being hated on because of just plain jealousy in a nutshell
basically it means you have a bigger penis than everybody else
Tell me about it, when they are on in the afternoon, more often than not I would just plug my iPhone into my car and use the TuneIn radio app to listen to Sacramento sports talk radio
Spoiled sounds about rightThat said, cosign to everything CP said. Ill go ahead and skip the basic rules of fandom (ride or die with your team, know the players, etc.) Being a laker fan is expecting, no, demanding, championships. It's demanding a higher standard of basketball, never accepting "rebuilding"' and a legacy of the greatest players ever to play the game. Dr. Buss built the franchise to be the premier gem of the NBA, I like to think he succeeded.
Edit: now that I think about it, it's also being spoiled. We like to laugh at the dark ages of sucky crapkins and smushcalade, but whenever I watched those games I wanted to throw my tv out the window. Even if they only missed the playoffs once
This was kind what I was looking forward to hearing.
Good point, I don't want to get DBD in here.
