When did you become a Laker fan?
A full fledged fan... Summer of 99
But i've been a lower level fan all of my basketball life

Why did you become a Laker fan?
I always have been a fan of LA Teams, but the Bulls were my heart all along (i was born & raised in Chicago)... when the Bulls had there ugly dismantling I was an appauled and angry fan who watched more of the Lakes during the lockout... when Phil Jackson came I became a huge fan figuring the best way to f*ck the Bulls was for PJ to win more titles in LA... i probly would have liked any team, but LA was the perfect fit for me... came to LA a couple yrs later and the rest is history...

Favorite current Laker?
Kobe. I'm not gonna sh-t on my boy just cuz the rest of planet earth is

Least favorite current Laker?
lemme see... maybe... Brian cooke.... his only contribution is a good, but tugly 3 point shot that is on like 1 out of every 5 or 6 games... no defense, no movement, just an inconsitent 3... the theme of this years lakers lieas in the soul of Brian Cooke

Least favorite Laker of all-time?
Glenn Rice... how many ways can you say rotten apple?

Favorite all-time Laker?
Kobe... i love his desire and competitiveness... i miss MJ... and Kobe is the only one that can occasionaly bring back the memories

Best all-time Laker?
Magic Johnson... though Kareem is probly the best, and Shaq is probably more dominant, and jerry west is the nba logo... when i think Lakers, i think Magic (plus he did win 5 titles).

Least favorite coach of all-time?
frank Hamblen... coached one of the worst all time Laker teams... during the worst part of the season... provided no spark or enthusiasm to a team that needed both badly...

Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future)
Sunderland... let Chick rest in peace

Laker that didn't get enough chances?
Scottie Pippen... he never even got a chance, so i guess he never really was a Laker... but Phil always wanted him... he almost cost us our 2000 title and i think he could have really helped win more later

Laker that got too many chances?
Deavon George
.
Best moment as a Laker fan?
Kobe's alleyoop to Shaq against the Blazers. ya really thought that coulda helped em wit there issues

Least favorite moment as a Laker fan?
the loss to Detroit last year... we had overcome so much... triumphed when no one thought we could and then crashed and burned so quick...
