Re: All New Posters, post here first-- Laker survey
How about answering the Q's in bold so that we can get to know each other.
When did you become a Laker fan?
The day Karl Malone signed with LA.
Why did you become a Laker fan?
Because Karl Malone signed with LA.
Favorite current Laker?
Kobe Bryant. Can't argue with brilliance.
Least favorite current Laker?
Lamar Odom. I know he's good...but he seems confused so often, and that rueful/amused, "Aw, I messed up again" look drives me nuts.
Least favorite Laker of all-time?
Tough question for me. I didn't really notice any team but the Jazz until Malone signed with LA. Other teams were just non-entities who passed through the Salt Palace or Delta Center. If there was anything special about them, I probably wouldn't have noticed.
I've done a lot of studying since Malone became a Laker, though, so I have some ideas now--but it's not the same as having had a most or least favorite player when that guy was actually playing.
That said....Dennis Rodman.
Favorite all-time Laker?
See above answer. Still....Got to go with Kobe. The man is fantastic.
Best all-time Laker?
From what I can gather, Jerry West.
Favorite Laker coach of all-time?
No idea, sorry.
Least favorite coach of all-time?
Phil Jackson. No arguing with his success, but he's sure a nasty individual who backstabs his players, shows no loyalty to the organization, and takes credit for that which is sheer luck: the calibre of players he's been fortunate enough to coach.
Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future)
Chick Hearn
Laker that didn't get enough chances?
Sorry, no idea.
Laker that got too many chances?
Dennis Rodman.
Best moment as a Laker fan?
Kobe's 62 against Dallas a couple weeks ago.
Least favorite moment as a Laker fan?
The night Malone went down with his first real injury in eighteen years. I knew he wouldn't get his Ring, and the Lakers wouldn't get the four-straight.
