Something About Purple and Gold
It's great being a Laker Fan
man o shevitz
kobe goes for at least 45 points in 4 consecutive games
noone has done that since the 60's when wilt chamberlain, another laker
did it
and noone had done that before wilt except elgin baylor, another laker
i love being a laker fan
something about the purple and gold......
i remember once being in new york and going to see a knicks/heat game
at the garden
it was during their intense rivalry of the late nineties
man it was a boring game, they must have scored about 65 points a piece
and after the game in the car on the way home i was with a couple of
knick fans
and one of them said about my being a laker fan "aren't you
embarrassed?"
and i realized how great it was to be a laker fan
and how transparently sour grapes everybody else was
such great tradition
i love the lakers
i really hope they don't trade andrew bynum in any deal for ron artest
i respect artest
he is a serious ball player
and i believe in second third fourth fifth and sixth chances
people can always turn it around
but i love andrew bynum
my flea intuition tells me he will be making incredible contributions
to the lakers in the future
i really miss watching nba basketball on television
i am down in australia til the end of the month
it sure would be great if the nba league pass thing
was happening down here on tv
