While we're at it... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XwTDPvXszhw&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XwTDPvXszhw&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
I was too young to remember '77. I can't really pin point a date, but it was in the early/mid 80's for me. The Blazers had some really good teams back then. Pax, Calvin Natt, Clyde, Mychal Thompson and later Vandeweghe, then later Kersey, Porter . . . every year a (select) FEW of the Media would pick the Blazers "to finally overtake" the Lakers. I would buy into it . . . and every year the Lakers won the Western Conference (I think the Rockets went a couple of times, but almost always it was the Lakers) The "Showtime Lakers" . . . ugghh. They never die either. Oh, they might go away for a year or two - like 1990,only to knock us out again in '91. Then after Majic retires a little swoon that almost made you forget about them until Shaq and Kobe and Two Freeking Thousand (2000 WCF) Then Shaq and Kobe break up and you start to think they are toast again, when they come back last year/this year looking like another 4-5 year WC Dynasty. All Time playoff series record is: Lakers 9 Blazers 2 Yeah, I hate them. We have 1977 and 1992. They have 1983, 1985, 1989, 1991, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002.
I was born May 5th, 1987. Assuming conception occurred exactly nine months prior, the hate began August 5th, 1986. And I love you DaRizzle and all, but the build up to Laker games is far more important than the respect for ones fellow humans/forumers. So in all cordiality... go fuck yourself!
That's not all the "Showtime" Lakers, though. The Showtime era ended with Magic. Shaq and Kobe are definitely not a part of it.
This was fun to watch.. <object width="448" height="374"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh6gxY55XRsS1LP6Dv" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/e/16711680/wshh6gxY55XRsS1LP6Dv" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" width="448" height="374"></embed> </object>
I can't remember that far back... Let's see, I've been a Blazer fan since '74 or '75, so at least since then... My revulsion for the purple 'n piss took a severe turn for the worse during the WCF of '91... And I gotta admit, Magic always made me ill, however great he was...
lol...those videos are awesome. three guys have made a bunch, this one was by far my favorite <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/t1ewIkVRdEo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t1ewIkVRdEo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Specifically when Magic Johnson threw the ball to eliminate the blazers in the 91 WCFs. Went out and dunked on my minihoop in the front yard for about 2 hours cursing the Lakers franchise forever.
Actually its probably earlier. just their purple lame looking uniforms and Kurt Rambis' general wack-assness. Lakers suck!
When my father's sperm penetrated my mother's egg. The first cell split and voila, my hatred of the Lakers doubled.
After that video I think someone from the press needed to give Kobe some toothpicks. He was busy working on that chicken sandwich in the locker room after the game. He was working that tongue man! I started hating the lakers when Portland crapped out in the final round of the 2000 WCF (June 4) being up 15 points and then losing it. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores100/100156/100156331.htm
