I'm getting hung for this one. Sorry Laker fans. I just came from Sportsline, and I've seen it numorus times, the phrase Laker Hater. Whats up with that? There are haters for every team. But the Laker fans are the biggest whiners about it. You Don't hear nothing like Wolves Hater, Spurs Hater, Sonics Hater, ect., ect., ect. Its their favorite saying. Why? Is it because it ALMOST rhymes? I don't know. Give me some Input. |

I believe this bothers you, because you would like your Wolves, to be as dominant a franchise, to have special Hater fans... a la the Yankmees..
Everyone hates the Lakers, cause they "win". The Lakers have also caused much misery to many other "good to average" franchises.. Queens, Wolves, and Spuds to be exact. I also believe Laker fans.. such as myself, talk a lot of shit.. That may also have to do with it. I'd also like to say.. that we can talk the shit, cause our team backs it up for us.
Every NBA fan can only dream to have a franchise devoted to winning.. like the Los Angeles Lakers. WE ARE THE NBA!
Now doesn't that statement piss ya off.. that is why we have.. the "Laker-Haters" Beat LA Beat LA It's too funny!

Well then you might wanna get to know the word bandwagoner. The Lakers are not the NBA. The word Laker Hater directly points that they arn't. If they were the NBA, everyone would like them. Instead of having a name for the people who hate them. Whats the world coming to? |

I don't believe that Laker Haters hate the Lakers because they win.
I feel the the likely reason they hate that team is one word "Shaq".
Because of his attitude, smugness, arrogant and unwarranted comments about others in general makes him hateable which affects how people, fans (NBA) perceive the team.

I very much agree that Shaq is a huge reason why a majority of the people who hate the Lakers, hate them. Just to prove that Im not one of those people, heres my list:
In no specific order:
1. I dont like Shaq at all.
2. Not a big fan of teams who are a big target to be a bandwagon team.
3. I dont like Phil Jackson. Coaching scheme's are dumb.
4. Fox is horrible and should not start(when he gets back).
5. There colors are dumb as hell.
- Thank you and have a nice day.

You're callin' me a bandwagoner?? I'm from the LA area, and I've been an strong Laker fan for 15 years.. If you want to jump to conclusions, I suppose I can do the same to you.. 1. I dont like Shaq at all.
2. Not a big fan of teams who are a big target to be a bandwagon team.
3. I dont like Phil Jackson. Coaching scheme's are dumb.
4. Fox is horrible and should not start(when he gets back).
5. There colors are dumb as hell.
- Thank you and have a nice day. 1. Ok, not many like Shaq, I'll go with that.. 2. Umm, I don't know if this is a solid reason to "hate". 3. You don't like Phil, cause he's a winner.. understanable. Schemes? You mean the triangle? Yeah, I also hate how coaches game plan... duh.. 4. Fox is an above average defender, decent 3 point shooter, and great passer. Maybe I agree he shouldn't start.. but for different reasons then yourself. 5.  Their colors?? What are you a girl?? You don't like their colors?? That's something that would come out of my girlfriends mouth!! As for your other comments.. about the Lakers not being the NBA, and that the phrase Laker-Haters shows that.. The Yankmees are a very hated team, like the Lake Show, yet.. No matter how much I hate the Yankmees, they are still the MLB! |

The Yankmees are a very hated team, like the Lake Show, yet.. No matter how much I hate the Yankmees, they are still the MLB! LOL. Well then I dont really have a reason to hate any team in any sport. Its not like you can have a legit reason to hate any team. I hate Jackson cause I think hes a very overated coach. Fox can't catch a ball(as they lost last year cause of it) although he is a good defender. There colors are just an added bonus to one of the reasons I dont like them. And you cant tell me they arn't subject to all the bandwagoners out there. I can understand that your from L.A. and that is a good reason to like them. I like Philly teams cause I'm from Pennsylvania. I probably shouldn't have jumped to a conclusion and called you a bandwagoner from the start, but its pretty easy to jump to that conclusion now-a-days. My apologies. Now, as for the whole "WE ARE THE NBA" thing. The NBA right now is high flying dunking, deep 3's, head bands, and sadly, LeBron James. Which the Lakers only have one of. |

I don't like Lakers for one the Kings are one of my fav. teams, they are always projected to win it n I hate when a team should win it 10 years in a row I just hate all the hype they get, and I don't aprove of rapists' lol j/k, I don't like Shaq hes fat n just uses size to be good. I have to admit he has put forth some work to his game ( free throws ). Give em the props for that.

To answer your question, you either HATE the Lakers or Like them... few people kinda like them, saying that if 25% of the people who watch bball like them like 60% hate them and like 15% are in between likin and hating them.

I'm defiently not a bandwagoner.. I spend plenty of hard earned money going to the games.. even when they play like crap.. I would have to say I watch approx. all Laker games, maybe I miss 2 or 3.. but for the most part I see them all, even the injury filled ones.. I even watched most of the preseason games..
As for Phil Jackson, this guy gets a lot of undeserved crap. A lot of people point out he always has good players, thus the reason for so many championships. Well, that's true, but I'd also like those same people to point out what coach HAS won a championship, with players, without talent. Just because the timing was perfect for him to leave a rebuilding Bulls team, to go to a "not quite ready" Lakers team, doesn't make him a bad coach. After the coaching failers of Del Harris, Magic J, and Kurt Rambis, this team was falling more then it was ready to burst. Phil Jackson has a huge part in the team winning championships. He also has Payton and the bench players.. playing .500 ball, while his 3 star players injured. That in it'self is a huge indicater. Any other team would have given up with these kinda injuries.
Wolves
without KG, Spree, and Wally would lose to this unhealthy Laker team.
Spurs
without Duncan, Ginobli, and anybody.. would lose to this unhealthy Laker team.
Kings
without Webber, Peja S., and Miller or Divac would lose to this unhealthy Laker team.
Pacers
without R. Miller.. would lose to this unhealthy Laker team.. This should tell ya what I think of Indy.. ;D
Coach Jackson can single handedly win games for the Lakers.. it has been proven!
