Should true Lakers fans be giggling? Do you think Jerry Buss has a bit of a smirk on his face? Hopefully not, hopefully they are better people than I am. Less vindictive, less hating.... But I am ridiculously happy at the outcome of the Eastern Conference finals. Is it haterade? Perhaps, but I remember a time when you could dislike a player and it was just your opinion not some stigma on your character. As far as I am concerned, Shaquille O'Neal is proving once again that his success will always be dependent on someone else being able to score with him. He may be the most 'dominating' but his dominance ends in the final 2 to 3 minutes as it always has. He may carry a team a good ways to the promiseland, he's never the one driving through the gate, he's always on the passenger side taking a nap! Call me a hater, call me a Kobe Lover. Call me what you will. The fact of the matter is I Love the Lakers. I love all that is Lakers. If you leave the Lakers, especially the way the big fraud did, you are entitled to all the pent up wrath and frustration, insults and disrespect, and hate that I can muster. This is passion!
I like the passion T2T! I also share in your happiness of watching Shaq lose in the ECF, and have to eat his words. I supported Shaq even after the trade, but once he started bashing the Laker organization and calling out people he formerly respected he lost all respect from me. I'm also looking forward to his contract extension, he will once again be revealed as a hypocrite. If he takes a pay cut for not coming through on his promise he's a hypocrite for turning down the generous Laker offer. If the Heat do give in to his demands, they'll have no cap flexibility for years to come and waste the prime years of Dwayne Wade by not having players around him to win.
this is weird but i didnt want the heat to win either. im not a lakers fan nor heat hater i just dont like Shaq
^well ur rite im a nets fan but i never liked shaq, i always thought he is overrated but wat does that have to do wit not likin the lakers
You know what Shaq will say if he accepts a lower offer. He will proably say like well the Miami Organization is a better and smarter organization than the Lakers one so I will take a cut for this team. I do not like Shaq at all. I like the passion you guys had about bashing Shaq. Lakers will be back. Their coming.
