<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The classic chant of "Beat L.A.!" has had many applications through the years and even more motivations. For example, "Beat L.A.!" has been the battle cry of cold-weather citizens who wouldn't mind wearing a T-shirt in January. "Beat L.A.!" also has been the war chortle of disgruntled-but-sporting men who wish the women in their town would consider dental floss as a clothing option. But the common thread among devotees of "Beat L.A.!" is a commanding lack of fondness for the Los Angeles Lakers. As a method of crunch-time derision, it was inspired by Magic, Kareem and Big-Game James, then perfected as a means to counter Shaq and Kobe. </div> Source: http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/6349248
