Ok from reading VF's recent posts I think I get the reason for disliking the Lakers so much, outside of the 2002 stuff. Not living in US nor being part of other fanboards I have no clue about true Lakers fans and how they are disrespectful and stuff so my apologies for not really understanding why the Lakers were so different from any other team in the NBA that isn't the Kings.
You know who deserves to win a championship? WE DO!!!

People "rioting" in East LA and downtown LA. Not really paying attention, heard some people jump on a cop car and brak a window or something. Right now on the news, I see some fires, but nothing really serious. Its nothing compared to the 2000 championship.
I'm hoping some people head to the ESPN building in LA and they get these "fans" on camera for the rest of America to see how pathetic these guys really are.

the hero here are kobes elbows...
the series was one elbow shot away from a 2-2 series oh well...
reasons why the magic lost was just complete implosion... rafer alston with svg. nelson getting playing time which should have been given to rafer and anthony johnson
nelson was pulling a webber when he came back from injury.. remember when peja was on fire that season he was in the mvp voting.. im not bashing webber ok just showing comparison
the magic 09 and the kings 02 have one thing in common.. both fell via the elbow of kobe

Geez. Way to boil a 5 gm series down to one play. The game was tied at the time of the catastrophic elbow, so that means we must know the sequence of events that took place after the hopeful call is made. It's not exactly a strong position arguing that Orlando makes a clutch shot in the remaining 33 secs...........
The Lakers won because they swarmed Howard and supressed his scoring punch for at least 3 gms. They also did a good enough job pressuring Hedo and Lewis at the arc for various games (they did the same thing to Denver). Orlando is too dependent on 3s. LA were able to impact their inside punch or their outside punch for most of the series, end of story. 4-1 ain't a fluke. Then there was the Nelson/Alston newbie gameplanning. The Magic weren't ready for prime time. The stats don't deceive in this case.
Thx 6th and VF (grabs Zippo).

congrats to your team too...
well basically the magic melt down in that game... jameer backing off fish and fish drains a three to tie it during the 4th
mental break down just total mental breakdown
if things went the magic way with that elbow could have had the ball and probably scored or sent it to another ot
oh well.. wish there were more laker fans like gargamel, and hoopsfans, and the other guy with the shaq avatar. i mean i encounter a whole lot of obnoxious laker fans.
congrats to your victory again
Congats to Gargy and Hoopsie on your team's championship....again. We'd love to have just our first one here in Sac.
And, tho it pains me to say it, I have no doubt that there'd be some "fans" here doing the same thing as the "fans" in the pictures above. Seems to happen everywhere a championship does. Stupidity has no geographic boundaries.

i think those are faker fans...
i mean its ok to share a drink with a buddy or two at the streets chant we are the champions, run around like your on some space cake, but to use railings as a battering ram to smash things?! smash some dudes car? throw kobes (garbage cans) at police cars? and loot shops? a championship should bring out the best of a city.. something to be proud of not this.. not this..
so classy....
my brother is lording over his kobe jersey (my aunt from the states got us both sporting gear... the other was minnesotta vikings petterson.. the other was a kobe bryant jersey.... though i had no idea who petterson of the vikings i... i took the shirt he got the jersey..)
now hes saying "i like the lakers"
and thats coming from a guy who doesnt CARE about basketball... to my brother.. You sir are a bandwagon fan! lol
he could have done worse though... i encountered a guy who said "i like the lakers cause of kobe bryant... the philippines has caught bryant fever.. laker nation!"
speak for yourself im a kings fan!
not to pee on the championship bonfire of the lakers but i do honestly believe THIS will be the last ring kobe gets.. the west will shape up next season.
