Any Laker-haters out there? Got time? Care to waste some?

. . . . .BADDA-BING, BADDA-BULLS EYE!

. . . . .Ron Artest is gonna be on ALL OUR hate lists. If not already, than soon enough.

Did you call him yet? He’s actually quite chill, I told him I was a Warriors fan living in LA and WILL ONLY SEE the Lakers play IF I’m at the Coliseum. Said to him, “I won’t give Dr. Buss my money in LA. He’ll have to EARN IT in Oaktown!” (he cracked up laughing and asked, “Did you root for me anywhere?” I said, “No way when you were on the Kings, I hate them as much as the Lakers. But in Chicago? Yeah, kinda. But St. Johns? For sure. You know, Chris Mullins and all.”

If the Lakers didn’t have the most annoying and cocky fans in the world then I definitely wouldn’t hate on them. That’s why Warriors/Lakers games are so fun to watch, they always have an extra importance to me because of that rivalry that Warriors fans tend to have with Laker fans. Lakers fans always come into the game confident since they have Kobe, which is why it’s fun to watch the Warriors beat them because it’s kind of like an upset.

I also start hating on teams a bit due to little things. I got over the whole Warriors/Mavericks rivalry from two years ago. I started liking the Mavericks and hoped that they get better, but just recently this Mavs fan started talking hella sh*t about the Warriors and still isn’t over the whole We Believe whooping. Seeing things like that kind of rekindles my hate for a team, after seeing it I was like “ahh I can’t wait for the next Warriors/Mavs game now!”. lol.

Also, I don’t understand why there’s so much hate with the Kings. Sure, I know that there’s a lil battle of Northern Cali between GS and SAC but the Kings suck. Having beef with the Kings would be like having a rivalry with the Grizzlies or any other crappy team. And there’s not even that many Kings fans in the Bay anymore, so there’s not that much intense atmosphere between the “rivalry” right now. That’s why I prefer having with a rivalry with the Lakers instead, I just love that underdog role that the Warriors play all the time.

It’s just the way I am, and “we were as kids”.

I went to Giants games, and lightly rooted for them here and there. But. . . .(hate them too!)
I can’t stand the 69-ers (even when they were winning championships. alright, alright- i liked “some” of their players. but hardly all the time. only sometimes. . . . .still though. . . .i’ll root for them when it comes down to a NorCal/SoCal thing. but . . . .that’s about all)

No team has any of my affections except those from Oakland. 24-7, 365 days. . . .I love my Oakland teams!

Hell. Yeah!

Who do you think Ron Ron’s gonna beat up first? Vujacic or Walton? (them asshats just get on my nerves. They call Sasha, “The Machine”. . . More like “Money-wasting-Machine”. And Walton? He throws up more bricks than an old school Mason. That guy couldn’t find the rim IF YOU PUT PAMELA ANDERSON’S ASS RIGHT ON HIS NOSE!

Did I tell you guys how much I hate the Lakers?

I HATE LAKER FANS IN THA BAY AREA EVEN MORE!!!!!!!!!

I have a lot of friends who are Laker (bandwagon) fans. And the only time they supported the Warriors was when they made the playoffs two seasons ago.

Thanks, captain! You’re so right.

I know hah? What’s worse is when I go up to my place (I own a flat on 24th off Fulton) I hate it when I see dumbf_cks wearing a Knicks cap around town. I wanna clock ’em and make things right. . . . .for Tupac!

Loving the Lakers is even worse for your soul

. . .Candy hip-hop, retarded rap and American-idol R&B!

Gimme Otis Redding or Sam Cooke anyday of the week than Luther Van or Peabo Bryson. I’ll take Aretha over Whitney, AND I’d rather bump to A Tribe Called Quest than 50-cent. (but, . . . .that’s just me. . . .and my soul)

Spiritually, just breathing is bad for your soul. (btw: we all have our own paths, and no one to blame nor no one else’s to judge but ourselves and our own. God will take care of the rest)

The uncle who took me to a ton of Warriors games as a kid, knew a lot of NBA players. Jim Chones from the Lakers (I know? yeeeesh!) was the best man at his wedding to his 3rd wife. He was a Phoenix-native and taught me a little about their history and never had a bad word for them.

I grew up feeling the same way, strictly because of him. And besides, something about Steve Nash- I went to so many games at the Toso Pavilion- as many as I’ve been to Stanford games back in my youthful dizzy dizzay! Go Broncos! (just saying. FWIW: I hate any team not the Warriors on game day. there’s always that)

He’s way freaking chill. And . ., . .it’s him. I was the same way but it’s like talking to your own fellas. He doesn’t have a deep voice.

Anyone try “google-ing” the number yet. I’m not joking. It’s all on the up and up and it’s for realz.

This is not a joke, the phone number and all. I was even reluctant to do anything with it when I found out about it, and then when I woke up and saw the scribbled number on my coffee table . . . .I thought, "Hey now. My Warriors brethren would prolly love seeing or calling his number.

We all basketball lovers, no? Ron Artest is a badass, he just happens to be on the Lakers this year. F_ck the what? Give him a jingle-jangle. Shoot the scheit with him, but again- I wouldn’t go apeshit or get all clammed up when talking to him. Like I said, the man is cool as folk!

they are the opposite of lakers and their fans.

I omitted the Celtics? Another oversight on my part, damn!

And. . . when it comes to the Clippers, I actually like their fans. Back when they had Olowakandi, Q Richardson, Darius Miles, et al- I hated the fact that they thought that was a “championship team”. And the fact that they talked a ton of smack against our Warriors, but – down here in LA, their hatred for the Lakers is epic. I’ve attended a few Clippers games, just to see some ex-Trojan players go into the Staples Center to kick ass and I’ve found their knowledge of NBA basketball to be quite high and apart for their (the fans) general b-ball acumen- they prolly hate on the Lakers as good as we do when the Lakers visit the Coliseum. For that matter, I don’t necessarily hate them. Daytime hate on Warriors games, yes. General hatred? Not so much though.

But, you’re right on the Celtics. Man they are annoying. As annoying as the Knicks. And. . .I hate EVERY team from Boston.

. . .they are THE shit! And talk dismissively of any other sports talk. And that’s what they resort to when logic infects the conversation. One of my best buddies that I’ve met here in LA is . . . .A BOSTON NATIVE. We met at a bar in Santa Monica, same night we fought/wrestled in the bar’s parking lot, and it was the first time he said he got his ass kicked since 4th grade. (he went to Penn, on a wrestling scholarship).

He’s the epitome of “cool” and friendship, to me now. At the time I met him, he was an over-the hill punk who needed a new perspective. I was more than happy to accomodate him.

He tells me, “It don’t matter whether the Celtics win ANOTHER GAME! NBA championship? Who cares, if the Sox don’t win the pennant or World Series, EVERYONE in Boston is an alcoholic until the next baseball season starts. It’s a baseball town. Period!”
