When Sunderland took over the play-by-play while Chick was recovering from hip surgery in 02 some people actually thought he should permently replace him since Chick really started to slip with names and other things towards the end. I never agreed of course. But anyways the question is moot of course now.
Here are some of my updated answers. When did you become a Laker fan? Same answer as before Why did you become a Laker fan? Same answer Favorite current Laker? Was- Robert Horry Now- Lamar Odom. He's been a top 5 favorite NBA player of mine since he entered with the Clippers. I'm amazed by his pure talent level. Least favorite current Laker? Was- Mark Madsen Now- Chucky Atkins. Epitome of a player who doesn't understand his limitations, and seemingly doesn't put any effort into playing off the ball or defense, so he only really cares when the basketball is in his hands. I've soured on Kobe due to his recent actions, but his sheer ability will always prevent him from being my most hated Laker. Least favorite Laker of all-time? Same answer. Favorite all-time Laker? Same answer. Best all-time Laker? Was- Jerry West Now- Chick players, gm, coaches, come and go. Great play-by-play guys last forever. He brought just as much entertainment as some of the players did. I'll never forget being a little kid, sitting by the radio every early October waiting for his voice to come in and announce the first preseason games from Haiwaii (they weren't always televised). His voice was just soothing. Favorite Laker coach of all-time? Same answer Least favorite coach of all-time? Was- Del Harris Now- Frank Hamblem. This guy has done nothing to complain since he's been hired and seemingly hates his job. I'm tired of his sour comments to the media when he himself has the polar opposite record with the team than his predecessor (Rudy). Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future) Was- Chick. Now- Read the question guys. Chick isn't any good at play by play now.  Laker that didn't get enough chances? Same answer Laker that got too many chances? Same answer Best moment as a Laker fan? Same answer Least favorite moment as a Laker fan? Was- Day Nick was traded Now- Day Shaq was traded. I was hella pissed when they traded Nick. I called the Loose Cannons, I called Stu Lantz old radio show on 570 AM and I wrote letters to the LA Times. But trading Shaq was 10X worse because of what he brought to this franchise and city. It made me turn on Buss which I thought would never happen. Hell Dr. Buss gave my little sister 3RD ROW seats for a game against the Blazers 4 years ago. I saw him in a restaraunt down in Encinitas this summer and felt like saying something.

Re: Laker survey
When did you become a Laker fan?
- Can't exactly remember, but I think I officially became one in 84 (for no particular reason). Why did you become a Laker fan? - Family influence, peer influence, Los Angeles native. Favorite current Laker? - Kobe Bryant. Caron's a close second. Least favorite current Laker? - Chucky Atkins. Needs no explanation. Least favorite Laker of all-time? - Shaq. Favorite all-time Laker? Magic. Too young to know West as a player. Best all-time Laker? - Best, as in most impact on the floor, would have to be between Jabbar and Shaq, with Magic close behind. Too close to call IMO. Favorite Laker coach of all-time? Riley. Least favorite coach of all-time? Magic (he shouldn't have coached). Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future) - Since the heart of all great play-by-play died with Chick, I'd have to say that guy who does the Sonics' play-by-play. Forget his name. Laker that didn't get enough chances? Don't really recall any Laker that didn't at the moment. Laker that got too many chances? - Rodman. Best moment as a Laker fan? 1985 NBA Finals victory in Boston. 2000 WCF Game 7 comeback win. Least favorite moment as a Laker fan? 1991 - Magic retires due to HIV. 1999- Eddie Jones traded. 2002 - Chick Hearn dies and I weep. 2004 - Shaquille O'Neal traded, ending the dynasty. |

Re: Laker survey
When did you become a Laker fan?
2000, after the Lakers went on to defeat Pacers in the finals. Why did you become a Laker fan? Just started following basketball then, and it's easy to be a fan when the team's winning. But I'm gonna still be around when we're down. Favorite current Laker? Kobe Bryant Least favorite current Laker? Chucky Atkins Least favorite Laker of all-time? Gary Payton Favorite all-time Laker? Kobe, with Magic at a close 2nd. Best all-time Laker? Probably Magic. Favorite Laker coach of all-time? Pat Riley Least favorite coach of all-time? Frank Hamblen Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future) Chick. Laker that didn't get enough chances? Undecided. Laker that got too many chances? Samaki Walker Best moment as a Laker fan? Our 15-1 postseason run. Horry's 3 vs Kings. Least favorite moment as a Laker fan? The loss to Pistons last year. Especially after all the drama that had occurred, and the fact that we were billed one of the best teams ever with our 4 future HOFers, just made it so much more painful to watch us go down. The official end to the dynasty.

Re: Laker survey
When did you become a Laker fan?
I came out of the womb with a JAmes Worthy jersey and matching goggles. Why did you become a Laker fan? They were the home team. It also helped that they were very good. Favorite current Laker? Chucky Atkins...this goes to show how bad this new Laker team is. Least favorite current Laker? Odom Least favorite Laker of all-time? Gary Payton Favorite all-time Laker? James Worthy Best all-time Laker? Magic Favorite Laker coach of all-time? Pat Riley Least favorite coach of all-time? Del Harris Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future) Chick. Also get rid of Stu why your at it. Stu Lance has become lame. Laker that didn't get enough chances? Shaq Laker that got too many chances? Kobe Best moment as a Laker fan? Our 15-1 postseason run. Horry's 3 vs Kings. Those two were very good. I just remember the 2nd year we won out of the 3peat and how during the playoffs everything clicked. It was magical. Least favorite moment as a Laker fan? Magic announcing he has HIV

Re: Laker survey
When did you become a Laker fan?
Somewhere around 2000 Why did you become a Laker fan? It was the most exciting team at the time, the thing that really made it solid was all the buzzer beater games like Fisher in 0.4 seconds or game 2 of the 2004 finals when kobe hit that three. Favorite current Laker? Kobe Bryant Least favorite current Laker? Chucky Atkins Least favorite Laker of all-time? I really don't know, but I don't like Gary Payton.... Favorite all-time Laker? Kobe, then Magic, then Jerry West then Wilt the Stilt then Dr.J....too many Best all-time Laker? Magic Johnson Favorite Laker coach of all-time? the zen master, Phil Jackson Least favorite coach of all-time? Frank Hamblen Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future) Chick. Laker that didn't get enough chances? Derek Fisher Laker that got too many chances? Shaq, lol Best moment as a Laker fan? Fisher in 0.4 Kobe's trey for the Pistons Least favorite moment as a Laker fan? Last years Finals loss, what a heartbreaker....

Re: All New Posters, post here first-- Laker survey
When did you become a Laker fan?
hhmm about 1996, i was in like 2nd grade Why did you become a Laker fan? was an eddie jones and van exel fan, but i truley called my-self a laker fan after LA got the draft rights to Kobe-he became my favorite player next to Jordan after i saw him in the mcDonalds all-american game Favorite current Laker? Kobe Least favorite current Laker? Slava Least favorite Laker of all-time? Shaq...i have never been a fan of any big-men in the league, and i wasnt even a big shaq fan at all when he was on the lakers, just b/c i liked kobe so much prob.. But now w/ all the dissing of former teamates, management, the organization, LA, and the fans shaqs done makes him easily my least favorite laker of all-time Favorite all-time Laker? gotta say Kobe, hes the main reason i am a laker fan Best all-time Laker? didnt get to see many of the laker greats play much- im only 17, but i watch alot of classic laker games, so i'll go w/ magic Favorie coach of all-time phil jackson Least favorite coach of all-time? Del Harris Laker that didn't get enough chances? wow this ones tough, Im gonna say glen rice, we won a championship w/ him in the starting line-up then traded him--its understandable so not really a big deal, but i honestly cant think of any one else Laker that got too many chances? Rodman. Best moment as a Laker fan? so many,,-- in my life-time one of my favorite moments is a kobe moment, i beleive it was game 5 of the 2000 NBA finals, the game goes to over-time and shaq fouls out, Smits(indianas center at the time) was playing the game of his life, and Indiana scored every possesion, but it was answered every-time by a Kobe jump shot, and after every shot he ran back on D doing like a reverse raise the roof, like he was just deflateing indianas arena, and the game was put away w/ an athletic move by kobe, a put back off i believe it was a brian shaw missed jummper.....LA went on to win the title in 6 -2000 ship 1st of 3 in a row Least favorite moment as a Laker fan? this ones tough too, I'll say after we lost to the spurs in 04, spoiling our amazing championship run ending it at 3, the camera showed some of the players crying, it was a sad, and forgetable day...makes me sick thinking about it.

Re: All New Posters, post here first-- Laker survey
When did you become a Laker fan?
When Magic dropped a sky-hook on Celtics. :wink: Why did you become a Laker fan? Magic shot was cool. I've never seen anything like it before. Mind you, I was watching that game from Dubai(while visiting). In fact, I didn't know what Basketball really was. Then, I decided to learn about Basketball and Lakers were my team. Favorite current Laker? Luke Walton. Least favorite current Laker? Chucky Atkins(yes, he will be traded and Kwame Brown will take his place  )Least favorite Laker of all-time? Gary Payton. Cancer...yes Cancer he was. Favorite all-time Laker? Jerry West. His contribution as a player, coach, GM. Not to mention, he was the reason we were Showtime in 80s and Y2K Dynasty. Best all-time Laker? Chick Hearn. Not a day goes by that I miss his voice. Favorite Laker coach of all-time? Pat Riley Least favorite coach of all-time? Del Harris.  Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future) Chick. Without a doubt. Laker that didn't get enough chances? Robert Horry. Laker that got too many chances? Shaq. Best moment as a Laker fan? Got many..there are all golden. 1. Magic's baby sky-hook 2. Kareem's performance after Boston Masscare(watched it on DVD). He was MVP in '85 Finals. :wink: 3. Kobe's alley-oop to Shaq against the Blazers in 2000 WCF Game 7. 4. Robert Horry's clutch 3-pointer in 2002 WCF Game 4. 5. Derek Fisher's 0.4 Play.  Least favorite moment as a Laker fan? When we signed Vlade Divac knowing he is old fart ***(sorry to be harsh but it had to be said)
