don't forget Colorado and the Shaq feud.
Kobe is by far the most popular player in the league. no one "hates" Kobe, no matter how much you stans want that to be the case.and as far as the rings go, Kobe could win 7 and still wouldn't be looked at as better than Jordan, he's played with too much help.
Not gonna deny that you have people that hate the Lakers however you have WAY more that are on their dikks and most of them don't even live in and aren't from LA. Lakers are the true America's team. There is no major national outrage over them getting Dwight. There was none for them getting Nash. There was none for them getting Malone/Payton. There was none when they got Shaq. When they Yankees make their big signings you have people coming out of the woodwork on a national level
but with the Lakers it's 
. People pretty much accepted Dwight was going there weeks ago and there has been no outrage over it. People follow stars more than teams in basketball thus there isn't as much fervor out of most people over their team and thus you don't see as many people 
at the Lakers.

I see it differently as a Laker fan. If U think there was no hate when Lakers got Malone/Payton, and Nash and now Dwight U are really out of touch. On Facebook the hate has already begun. I've seen probably over 25 hate replies from Facebook friends. You see what U want to see. Many of you are so detached from reality. Yankees have a gang of fans too but they have a gang of haters just like the Lakers.

you're kidding me right? Just look at the amount of threads about Kobe within the last 2 months. Look at the posters over here that's based their posting career strictly off hating the man. I don't need to name names.

This goes on at EVERY sports forum I go too...even Lakersground.net.
People are more about their teams in baseball so there is more hate for the Yankees from that standpoint. People in many cities in the NBA look at their team like
and accept the fact that they have no chance and just focus on stars. There are very few actual basketball towns in the country. I never said that no one ever hates on the Lakers I merely said that they get way more love on a national level. How many nikkas on Facebook as well as on here as well as on ESPN as well as various cities throughout the country are hype as fukk over Howard going to LA? For you to act like there are more nikkas that are mad demonstrates what you wanna see. Despite the level of bytchassness Dwight has displayed his going to LA hasnt' even been met with a fraction of the outrage that Bron going to MIA was met with. Why? Because there are so many Lakers fans throughout the country and the media. No way are they villians.
threads? really breh? LMAO...you do know there is life outside of a fukking message board right? Kobe is the most popular active basketball player on the planet.

The national media ain't funking with the Lakers like that. They were and still on the Heats nuts. The Lakers have a shyt load of fans and a shyt load of haters. I don't see how U can deny that.

trust. there's a wave of nikkas that still shyt on him. especially when I'm at the basketball gym. Granted it comes mostly from whites. Asians love him and so do most blacks.
Where did I deny that? All I have been saying is that the fans far outnumber the haters to the point where they have never been nationally villianized. 
at the national media not fukkin with the Lakers. Lakers didn't fall of the radar even when they sucked in the mid-2000s. nikkas were 
at Dwight possibly picking Brooklyn over LA. Haven't heard a peep about competitive balance, small-markets, or stars teaming up since Dwight to LA became inevetiable. What national media you watching? Lemme guess you are referencing the one Laker hater that the bring out to provide a voice of dissent amongst all the cheerleaders right?

damn yall really are in denial and/or are really blinded by your own hate. Kobe receives hate from the national media, local media, other teams media, other teams announcers, other teams fans, shyt a handful of Laker fans, Shaq fans, Bron fans and so on and so on. and Bron is right behind him in world popularity.

So what they have more fans then haters what team doesn't...if you don't think other oppossing teams fans don't see the Lakers as villians or hate them I don't know what to tell U. THE LAKERS AND KOBE HAVE A shytLOAD OF HATERS...wake up!!
The reason the Lakers never fell of the national radar because they had Kobe
The national media is east coast so their is always an east coast bias as well as plenty of national media personalities who don't like the Lakers or can't stand them. Of course they use them because the Lakers move the ratings but ESPN has always had a thing for LeBron over anyone or any team. Their are haters in the local media too...ie TJ Simmers.
I just don't understand how their can't be more than 1 villainous team in the NBA. I've run into so many Haters IN L.A. over the yrs who can't stand the Lakers or Kobe. So miss me with that horseshyt U peddling.
