Wow! I guess I did steal his line! Musta stuck in my mind from whenever I read it. I was gonna use "the neo-nazi allstars" but I figured that somebody might not read it the way I wanted it read...
It's hard to cheer for LeBron, so LA. Also, these Lakers aren't even close to being nearly as easy to hate as the Shaq/Kobe Lakers imo.
That's how I feel. I really don't care that much about all the drama. I think they should be a very fun team to watch.
+1. I don't need another team/player to hate. Would just make the possibility of having no interest in the Finals higher... why spoil basketball fun for myself?
I never thought a situation would arise when I would root for the Lakers. I would root for the Lakers over the Heat. LeBron is my new least favorite athlete. Trumps Kobe by quite a bit now. I hate that guy. A ton. Pussy ass coward.
That's like asking who you wanted to see win the Iran/Iraq War or the Eastern Front in WWII. A pox on both their houses. My vote is "none of the above". I look forward to the Blazers kicking the crap out of both of them.
I like Wade a lot, don't care about Bosh, and hate LeBron. Even with Wade being one of my favorite players to watch, I think I'll take the Blakers.
I cannot 'root' for the Flakers. No matter what. Period. I can't stand LeBron, and the Three Amigas joining forces out of fear of competition is pathetic, and I hope they lose every game -- except when they play the Flakers. But I seriously doubt I'll watch. The best possible outcome is they put each others best players in the infirmary.
Players on Heat I hate: LeBron James Jamaal Magloire Players on Lakers I hate: Kobe Bryant Lamar Odom Pau Gasol Andrew Bynum Derek Fisher Sasha Vujacic Not even a contest.
I would never cheer for the Lakers. But I marked the wrong one. I thought it was which would I not root for. I reread it later and realized I voted for the wrong team.
