When I was six. Local tv channel showed Laker, C Bags and maybe 76ers games. Became a fan of Magic Johnson, respected Larry Bird but was always a Laker fan.
Fast forward to the Jordan era, still a Lakers fan even though Jordan was dominating. Respected Charles Barkley, John Stockton and Michael Jordan but still a Lakers fan.
Hardcore fandom starts during the Kobe Shaq era to present day. Respected Allen Iverson, Steve Nash (until he became a Laker hoser siphoning off our cap space and picks), Dwyane Wade and too many to mention but am a Laker fan.
Lived through the Darius Morris, Sacre, Meeks, Eubanks, Mike Brown (worst coach ever) era and watched all the games I could including pre-season China games online.
F Balmer, George and Leonard.
If you joined as a Laker fan yesterday, no harm no foul. It is not a competition, just wondering how people got to be a Laker fan.
We have one of these in the open court, we have a random funny tweets thread for the general NBA in that section, and we used to have a thread like this at CL. I find myself often finding Lakers or loosely Lakers related content (like Shaq’s son’s tweet about his tattoo today) lately and going “I’d like to post this, but I’m not sure where it fits. I figure with the offseason about to fully start soon once free agency and summer league are over this could come in handy as well. To start off here’s some tweets that made me laugh that were Laker related, but I didn’t want to bump those particular threads of the people they were referencing
Didn't see another Thread for this. Please feel free to delete if it's redundant.
With or without Kawhi, there's still enough shooters, defenders & vets to field a contending Team.
I believe this article is up to date & accurate. What are your thoughts on the remaining guys available..?
Leonard wants to meet with Magic and Jeanie. Unusual request since Magic does not work for the Lakers anymore. What is Kawhi trying say? He can't meet with Magic. NBA prohibits it. So what message is Leonard passing onto the Lakers? I would consider the Lakers if Magic was still on board???
