SB Nation Article from Silver Screen and Roll....posted here because of the mention of different fan bases (including Dubs and Clips) and how their loyalty may have an effect on that Organizations overall performance. I personally think it's the Lakers history, front office, coaching, locale, and ability to attract impact players/veterans at a discount have helped maintain their longevity and success (plus a little bit of luck)...and not so much "pressure" of having their fans abandon them, that has made a difference....buuut that's just me.
