Why We Love to See The Lakers Lose

You either love Kobe Bryant, or you hate him.

You either love Phil Jackson, or you hate him.

Derek Fisher—you either hate him or you hate him.

When you watch the Lakers, you see an arrogant squad who think the NBA and the rest of the sports world owe them the trophy.

You see Bryant tossing up about 245 shots per game, and the rest of the supporting cast taking his verbal abuse when they do not pass him the ball. Heaven forbid you miss a shot when Bryant was double teamed.

You see Phil Jackson reclining in his folding chair, enjoying the best seat in the house, collecting his dollar dollar bills y'all.

You see Derek Fisher elbowing, or head-butting unsuspecting opponents. You have got to love Fisher when he is smashing other players while making "basketball moves" to mask his thuggery.

The hate runs deep, especially if you are a Celtics fan from the 80's, or a Kings fan from 10 years ago.

Memories of Robert Horry gives your typical Kings fan the shakes with the simple mention of his name.

That is all long behind us. It is time for 10 new reasons to hate L.A.:

1. Kobe should not win one without Shaq.

2. Phil Jackson stopped coaching when Michael Jordan started passing (I will give Jackson the credit for suggesting the option to Jordan however).

3. Derek Fisher sucks and he always will.

4. Luke Walton is the "human foul." Honestly, does he do anything but run around, kick the ball, and foul people?

5. Andrew Bynum's "potential" will always be a topic of a sportscasters conversation.

6. Lamar Odom is softer than Scottie Pippen (God, I hate Scottie Pippen).

7. The superstar Laker fans will need Hospice care soon.

8. Paula Abdul plays better defense than Pau Gasol.

9. Sasha Vujacic is a broke-ass John Paxson.

10. Lakers SUCK.

C'mon Houston, BEAT L.A.!
