When did you become a Laker fan?
1971 at the age of 9...during the incredible 33 consecutive wins season.
Why did you become a Laker fan?
Basketball was my favorite sport and I had just moved to Southern California.
Favorite current Laker?
Kobe Bryant...despite the bad press...he is the best small forward in the game today.
Least favorite current Laker?
Slava...for his size, he should be getting more boards and playing better defense...he just wants to shoot!
Least favorite Laker of all-time?
I would have to say Samaki Walker or Glenn Rice. Walker just took up space and Rice let his wife do the talking for him.
Favorite all-time Laker?
Connie Hawkins...THE HAWK!
Best all-time Laker?
Magic...no question!
Favorite Laker coach of all-time?
Pat Riley.
Least favorite coach of all-time?
Randy Pfund.
Laker that didn't get enough chances?
Brian Winters. There were no negative issues with Winters. All "older" Lakers fans will remember that he was the "purest" shooter in the game at that time...and, after being drafted by LA and spending a short time here, he went on to be an All-Star guard with the Bucks. He was part of the trade that brought Kareem to LA.
Laker that got too many chances?
J.R. Rider.
Best moment as a Laker fan?
A few years back...beating the Blazers by making an incredible 4th quarter comback...ending in Kobe's alleyoop to Shaq...that brought the house down!
Least favorite moment as a Laker fan?
When Kermit Washington punched Rudy T...almost ending his life. When he returned from the injury, he was never the same.
