First of all, if you've been under a rock, you'll soon have your chance to vote for Obama for President, since he's done finishing off Hillary. I know Tracy Flick Hillary Clinton wanted to win so bad, but sorry.....go back and wash those dishes. (Just joking, I was raised by my momma....)
So yea, the Lakers will be playing in Boston for game 1 of the NBA finals 2morrow. I know you've all been hit with millions of different takes on Lakers Vs Boston, Phil Vs Red, Paul Vs his old hometown, MVP vs an MVP runner up, Kid who skipped college Vs Kid who skipped College, Ray Allen Vs Denzel Washington, so I'm not gonna bore you down with that shit. Really, I just wanted to say I got Lakers in 6 or less, but most likely 6. I know cats are gonna say "You just rolling with the Lakers because your from L.A.". Actually, Paul Pierce is my dude. I wish I still had my Pierce Inglewood high jersey. I'm also a big fan of Garnett, and ACTUALLY, when the Lakers went on that run winning those championships not too long ago, I couldn't stand them Why?
1. Bandwagon fans
Los Angeles has some of the most wishy washy fans. They love you when your on top. When they're winning, Lakers flags are everywhere, when their getting knocked out in the first round, nobody gives a shit. I lived out in Tampa FL for a year, those Bucs flags fly all year long.
2. They got rid of my boys
Once Lakers got rid of Eddie Jones and Nick Van Excel, I couldn't give less of a shit. Nick was the man. The Lakers haven't had a point guard since Nick Van Excel. Eddie was vicious on offense and defense. Yea, he didn't average the same numbers in the playoffs he did in the season, but it's not like he did a Ray Allen.
3. Fuck a Kobe Bryant
I couldn't stand Kobe. How you gonna think your all that and air ball in the playoffs? Who the hell does this kid think he is? Why the hell is he trying to rap...stop it
4. Fuck a Shaq
Hakeem schooled Shaq. If it wasn't for Hakeem tapping that ass, Shaq would have never worked on his footwork. Why? Cuz he's lazy, he's only gonna do what he feels he has too. Nothing more, but maybe alot less. I can't relate to that. If someone said, "Brillyance, we're gonna give you a gang of money to play basketball", please believe I'd be working on my game at least 6 hours a day. Why not? Your getting paid big bucks, and most muthafuckas gotta work 8 hours a day and your making money they could only dream off.
After Shaq left, the badwagon fans left also. Kobe went through several humbling experiences, and eventually, Nick got old and retired and Eddie Jones got washed up. No longer were sports bars packed with people who probably never watched basketball before just watching because people at their job thought it'd be cool to watch a Laker game. That's when I went back to supporting MY (as opposed to all of L.A.s) favorite team.
Yea, I know what your thinking, aren't the badwagon fans back? Yea, and it seems worse then before. Oh well, I'm not dropping the team this time. If somehow they Lakers got swept, when all the bandwagon fans leave, I'd still be more likely to be seen in a Kobe jersey early next year than any other one.
Lakers in six, cuz like Kobe said before, Ray Allen's name shouldn't even be spoken in the same sentence as his. Therefore Ray Allen can never be a champion.
