    I'm not a basketball fan but I'm wondering if fans hate the Lakers because they buy up all the best players all the time? I'm a baseball fan and I can't stand the Yankees because they always win and they get the buy up the best players every year. Is there sort of the same thing in basketball? Just curious.

    Pretty much it is because of kobe bryant.And it is not that he is getting ready to go to trail over Rape.Even though that has hurt his reputation maybe more then anything.


    Its just how he Plays.

    Kobe has some great plays, but also has an attitude... although i like the Shaq guy (think it's a nice guy) i really think they let him go away with not whistling fouls they give to centers with a less bigger eh... name.
    But i kinda like them because of the spectacle they can bring, as long as they don't win in the end... but that's probably because i'm in favor of the underdog teams from the east like the nets... less money but some great team spirit and a fabulous jason Kid B)

    The Lakers don't buy up the best players at all. Where'd you get that from?

    Kobe and Shaq were already there. Other than that everyone else is mediocre.

    Karl and Gary took a pay cut to play there with Shaq.

    They want a ring before they retire.

    Keep in mind there is a salary cap to prevent what you are talking about.

    Well maybe not buy up all the good players then but just win all the damn time.

    I'm kind of like jetje I like the underdogs to win. Even thought I don't follow the sport closely I want Minnesota to win. Just because they always get booted in the first round and never seem to make it far.

    I'm pullin' for 'em too.

    I also like Sac.

    Keep in mind the Lakers have the most dominent center and a preeeetty good shooting guard.

    The coach ain't too bad either. Seems to come to ready made champion teams though.

    I don&#39;t really hate the Lakers because of all the good players......I hate em because of fking Bryant, stupid ass bastard that thinks he&#39;s better than Michael Jordon, and st00pid shaq, who has the biggest fking mouth in the NBA. The egos of those 2 asswads is insane. I just hate the bastards, and I hope they don&#39;t ever win a championship AGAIN.
