THE'clip'SHOW

Why?
With Jones you wouldn't have won, Kobe wouldn't have developed the way he did and Jones would have demanded way too much bling bling.
Rice IMO got shafted, the lakers wouldn't have won that year without him, Kobe wasn't ready.

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...

I can't believe I never saw this.

When did you become a Laker fan?

Around the age of 7 during the late 80's. That is when I started following sports in general.

Why did you become a Laker fan?

I loved the uniforms and the color of the court at the Forum. It's weird but all of my favorite sports teams have yellow/golden colors in their uniforms. I also loved the players. Magic was an idol for most fans but I also loved Scott and Cooper. I always hated Rambis and Thompson, though. Rambis was just weird looking and I always confused Thompson with Magic because of his blue knee pads.

Favorite current Laker?

Kobe Bryant. Before him it was Eddie Jones. Before EJ it was NVE. I guess I'm biased towards guards.

Least favorite current Laker?

Slava Medvedenko. What a scrub. The guy does nothing right. He's also a blackhole on offense. The ball never comes back out after it goes to him.

Least favorite Laker of all-time?

Kurt Rambis. At least he can pass for a human being now.

Favorite all-time Laker?

Michael Cooper. I just loved his game.

Best all-time Laker?

Historically, it's Wilt. He only played for the Lakers for a few years, though. Kareem didn't start with the organization but he won with us and played for us for much of his career so he's up there. Same with Shaq although he didn't last in LA for quite as long. West had the best career if you're talking about what he accomplished as a player and GM. However, in the end, I have to go with Magic. He was drafted by us and played his entire career in LA, winning 5 rings along the way. He's the greatest Laker of all time in my eyes.

Favorite Laker coach of all-time?

Pat Riley. I loved the success and the slicked hair. He personified everything I knew and read about LA.

Least favorite coach of all-time?

Randy Pfund. What a scrub he was. I expected to lose with him coaching the team.

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

Chick. I don't like Sunderland and Lantz at all.

Laker that didn't get enough chances?

Ruben Patterson. I thought we got rid of him too quickly. I thought he could be an excellent defender and energizer for this team off the bench.

Laker that got too many chances?

Definately Slava right now. He's been here for 5 years now. I can honestly say that he hasn't developed worth a damn in those 5 years.

Best moment as a Laker fan?

Winning it all in 2000. I didn't remember the late 80's all that well. When I really started getting into it, the Pistons became the team to beat. The 91' loss to Chicago was also heartbreaking. 00' was sweet because we overcame the mediocrity of the early 90's and the heartbreaks of the mid-late 90's.

Least favorite moment as a Laker fan?

When Detroit swept us in 89'. I cried after game 4. To make matters worse, my sister was a Pistons fans so she rubbed it in pretty good. The Utah sweep in 98' was also heartbreaking. I thought we'd be able to take them that year. Last year's loss to Detroit hurt but it doesn't compare to the other two.
