L.A.'s Still Lakers Country
Posted by Flea on December 4, 2006, 2 p.m. ET

ok the lakers beat the clippers again
lakers top the pacific division and them clippers been the cellar
dwellers for a week or so now
that should stop their squawking for a while
they had a little success last year and started talking trash a
little too quick
l.a. is laker town
and for all us kids who grew up loving kareem abdul-jabbar
that will never change

phil jackson is a funny man
i like that he is an intellectual and a spiritual man but still
manages to make fun of the opposing players, fans, and coaches
they should all be grateful to be dignified by his joking ways
the whole leagues is full of nuts and characters and someone's gotta
add a little levity
too much money too much seriousness in sports
phil had a good natured quip for jerry sloan a few days ago, i cant
remember what it was
and then sloan comes out and says that when kobe scored 52 the other
night that someone should have put him "flat on his back"
oh, that's good sportsmanship jerry.............
and just the other day i was thinking about how nice it was he was
with one team for so long
jerry sloan is not a nice man and may he stay and in utah
where they have never ever won a championship and never ever will
do i sound bitter?

anyways, lakers continue to get better and play as a team
even when kobe dropped 52 everyone else was still involved
and kobe could have easily got it into the 60's at least but was
content to get the team involved
kobe bryant is still the best basketball player in the nba
no matter how much the corporate big wig sponsors selling sodas and
shoes push lebron and d(elbow
kobe in the throat last xmas) )wade
the other night when the lakers spanked the nets he had 10 assists
too......
the lakers are a strong, open minded, learning team that has the
momentum

it is nice to see orlando do so well
i like the players
dwight howard is a force of nature
and grant hill has always been a cool guy
who has fought through a lot to get back into playing shape
who could have retired with his millions years ago and be sitting on a
nice beach eating papayas
and as i recall, he travelled the country with his historically
important african american art collection
showing it to kids all around
i like that
