Spent time in LA as a teen plus Kobe was my favorite player so it just worked out that way. It's a decent amount of DMV natives that are fans of other teams, DC sports suck.
Oh, believe me, I know. I'm one of them. God knows all them annoying ass Cowboys fans in this area.
But I haven't met any Lakers fans in the DMV. Most I've seen are die-hard Wizards fans or bandwagoners.
