Glass, you always have thoughtful and fair posts. When the hell is your rep going to get up to the nineties. You deserve it.

On a side note, it is kind of cool that you cannot go to an arena in the NBA and not see many Lakers fans, and these are usually not homers, but old school Magic, Kareem and Worthy fans. (Jerry West and that era also.) I cannot go to a game against the Lakers at the Delta Center (will always be the DC) and not find hundreds. There are so many Utahns that are Lakers fans and not the Jazz. Very impressive.

I was watching some Lakers games from back in 96-97, the Golden Age of the NBA in my mind, mostly because I'm not old enough to remember back to the early 80s, I was watching rookie Kobe go up against Prime Jordan in an OT game in Chicago with Chick Hearn announcing, good times. Back then, the Bulls were public enemy #1 in the NBA. I always heard stuff like "they never give anyone a chance" "They have Jordan, no fair"

Lovellt, you hit another point about being so many Lakers fans around the country. That is another reason why I think people hate us so much. You will run into more homers and fans like sman(Laker fan on this board that everybody hate on the team boards, he's funny to me though) because there are twich as many Lakers fans than any other team. Basically, you have a greater chance to argue with a Lakers fan than any other team.
But personaly, I love how people hate Kobe and the Lakers, because that just let you know you are on top.

Yet if you look on the team message boards the Lakers are third in number of members, so, no, that's not it. As far as Kobe, people don't like him because he is unlikeable. That seems like stating the obvious, but, between the rape situation(I don't think he did it), and the attacks on Malone(who IS an ass), his driving Shaq out of town, his tendency to blame team mates, you could go on and on.
As to Laker fans being unlikeable, there are plenty that turn everything into a discussion about Kobe, just as Cleveland fans turn everything into Lebron(I think there are almost as many annoying Cleveland fans). The discussion isn't about your guy, sometimes a basketball discussion isn't about Kobe and Lebron, deal with it.
Also is the blind interruption to any thread with, "The lakers are the best, if you don't think so you are stupid". Lakers fans love this, they do it even when their team is mediocre. Knicks fans do it to, at the slightest sign of not being the armpit of the NBA. It seems to be a big market thing.
Which brings us to the last point. Big market teams are unfair. Even though there is a salary cap, a big market team can afford the luxury penalty. Players also stand to make more in endorsements on these teams. They stand to have better chances at all-star selections. They are going to be seen on national TV more. So, it defies logic and reason that the knicks have been so bad. But it is another reason why people have such intense dislike for these teams.

That's misleading. Even though it says the Lakers in 3rd, we have more fans on here than any other team. Just check out the Lakers board.
As far as Kobe, people don't like him because he is unlikeable. That seems like stating the obvious, but, between the rape situation(I don't think he did it), and the attacks on Malone(who IS an ass), his driving Shaq out of town, his tendency to blame team mates, you could go on and on.
Yeah, I know. I wasn't arguing why people hate Kobe.

I can only name 2 Lakers fans that would make a thread like that. Other then them, I don't see Lakers fans putting "if you don't think so you are stupid"
