Its cuz the majority of warriors fans use to be kings fans and LA whooped them boys hard...
i KNOW there are a lot of Warrior fans that are former Kings fans but PLEASE don't group ALL warrior fans in that category. Even when the Kings were good,Warrior fans always hated the Lakers, well just because they're the Lakers! I've been a diehard warriors fan since the late 90s, and I know a handfulof others have too so don't kid yourselves when you think the majority of Warrior fans are bandwagoner/fairweather etc. etc. But I do agree, going to thearena there are fairweathers who don't even know the majorityof the Warrior players, I won't deny that. But the diehards have ALWAYS been there andthat's the main reason Oracle is always rockin. If we had an all fairweather crowd, Oracle wouldn't be rocking right now, because even in the pastthere has been a lot of fan support (compared to some perennial playoff teams even, even when we were sucking), it's just that it's really gone throughthe roof recently.
I think everyone hates the Lakers. the Lakers are like the Yankees of baseball in a way, like stated already. Even back in 02-03, Laker games were reallypopular because they were so damn good. So everyone wants to "BEAT LA!" of course. There hasn't been a W's-Lakers rivalry as of late, but ifwe meet in the playoffs it very well could develop
. the Lakers draw crowds everywhere they go.
