Why America Hates The Lakers
Not everyone hates the Lakers. Just most everyone. The Lakers are kind of like the NBA's version of the Yankees-they have the most fans, but are also the most hated, by far, of the league's teams. The reasons are many, but here are the top 5:
5. The Name:Let's face it: Lakers is about as bad of a geographical/cultural mismatch as you can get for a team in Los Angeles. Okay, Utah Jazz is worse, but just barely. This is a very minor reason for hating these guys, but really they should change that name. It is insipid, and makes no sense at all. Another thing that chaps me: If a team decides to relocate, it isn't the same team anymore, and therefore shouldn't claim the Championships it won in the past town. So in my book, LA has 9 Championships to Bostons 17. You've got a lot longer way to go than you think to reach the summit in my book, L.A. fan.
4. The Coaches: When I say coaches, two names come to mind, and you know who they are: Pat Riley and Phil Jackson. How could you not hate these guys? Pat with his slicked back greaser hair and his Armani suits, coining and actually trademarking the term "threepeat" (lame), and just overall being that kind of creepy, shady guy that you know could probably steal your girlfriend, use her, and leave her broken, just to say he did it. (Think Rob Lowe in Wayne's World.) And Phil, with all of his "Zen" crap-o-la. (no problem with Zen, but what does it really have to do with coaching basketball.) Oh, Phil just sits there smugly, whining about the refs and how bad his team got it after Kobe Bryant shot 25 free throws against your team. Cry me a river, Phil.
3. The Location/Fans:There's just something about L.A. and the people who live there that rub everybody else the wrong way. We know the weather is perfect. We know that all the stars from Hollywood will be at the game. Are we jealous? Probably. But for some reason, seeing Jack Nicholson sitting court side, yelling at the refs just blows. I don't care if Robert Downey Jr is coked-up at the game, or if Diane Cannon is looking 85 years old while rooting for the Lake Show. And I don't care if it never rains in southern California. I couldn't care less that Disneyland is in your backyard. Enjoy the smog.
2. The Players:This part of the hatred of L.A. has really gotten worse the last few years. The 80's teams were flamboyant and a little overbearing with all the "Showtime" grab-assing, but for the most part, the players themselves weren't all that hated. I mean, James Worthy even paid for some whores one time at the All-Start game in Houston. A real salt-of-the-earth move by Big Game James. But not the current incarnation of the Lakers. Their roster is riddled with hateable players:
Kobe Bryant: The cockiest in the league. Yells at his own team. Possible rapist. Speaks Italian. Jumped a car. He just seems like a major jerk.
Jordan Farmar: Ears like Dumbo. Never done anything besides be a decent backup, but struts around like he's the Queen of Spain. Not unlike Damon Jones.
Derek Fisher: Must have naked pictures of every ref in the league. Gets away with murder at the end of games, even playoff games. (remember Brent Barry, Spurs Fan?) Major flop-artist. Sketchy ending to his Jazz career. A little too buff.
Pau Gasol: Has one of the worst "Euro-Faces" ever. After every made basket, has an orgasm of joy and yells "Let's Go!" I'm not kidding. After EVERY basket. After every missed basket, cries and whines like someone just crapped on his pillow.
Sasha Vujacic: Calls himself the machine. 'Nuff said.
In the end America hates the Lakers because of their winning history, their great players and coaches, and the fact that LA is a great town anybody would love to live in. America hates the Lakers out of jealousy.
Hat das einen bestimmten Grund warum du den letzten Punkt und damit den entscheidenden Absatz (nämlich den wo man sieht das das kein Hater-Artikel ist, sondern eher lustig gemeint sein soll, jedenfalls so wie ich es verstehe) weggelassen hast?
weil er eben nicht lustig ist, im gegensatz zu den ersten vier gründen (die beschreibungen von riley, jackson, gasol, fisher und farmar sind überragend).
Und hier das selbe mit Brown
Das ist ja keine Frage.Ich bin auch wesentlich optimistischer als direkt nach Drews Verletzung. Insbesondere Lamar überrascht extrem positiv. Trotzdem glaube ich das Bynum das entscheidende Puzzleteil sein könnte, was fehlt, falls er nicht wiederkommt. Deshalb fände ich es sehr wichtig das er Ende März wieder da ist. Selbst ein Bynum für 20 Minuten von der Bank hinter Gasol/Odom wäre ein großes Upgrade.
Bin ja schon da. Dann wird aber dieser Thread hier überflüssig, oder?BTW: Ich habe eine Los Angeles Lakers-Interessengemeinschaft gegründet und warte auf ein paar Mitglieder .
wie gesagt, es ist offtopic aber ist auch jmd dieser Meinung?
Ist ein bisschen offtopic aber :
Kann es sein, dass John Hollinger (Espn) was gegen die Lakers bzw. Kobe Bryant hat?
LA Times schrieb:[...]Actually, they project Andrew to miss only eight to 12 weeks, but that may be conservative too. There are now suggestions it will be more like eight (or seven) than 12.
"He came to practice yesterday and we talked a little bit about it," Jackson said before Tuesday's game.
"He showed me his flexibility. He has a brace he's wearing. The swelling is at a minimum right now. He's walking without aid. So he feels pretty good about what he's doing."[...]
LA Times schrieb:However, trading Vladimir Radmanovic to Charlotte saves about $7 million over two seasons, and could create enough flexibility to keep Odom, if he'll take less money.
Which Odom said he's willing to do.
"Less is still a lot," he said before the game. "I've been blessed. Basketball has given me everything I wanted, and I'm far from greedy.
"And this is where I want to be, so I don't see why not."
