Who the **** am I? I never told them they can't hate a team. I simply said that to hate a team they need to have a good reason. You can't just hate someone or something, there has to be a good reason to hate that person or thing. Get that right.

I don't think anyone here said anything about hating the Lakers because they depend of Shaq or Kobe anyway... How about hating them for the fact that they're cocky as hell?
You don't think...? I know over 50 people who hate the Lakers because they think it's all about Kobe and Shaq. What about Fisher, Horry, George, and Fox? And what's this about the fact about them being cocky as hell? Can you explain why they're cocky as hell? Just because they're good? Just because they won 3 rings in a row? Just because they try like every other team in the league? Yes, so I guess every team in the NBA are as "cocky as hell"...

Some people get sick of seeing the same team and players win every year, but not everyone who hates them hates them because they're good.
Yeah. Whatever, like I said, I've watched basketball for a very long time, and through out the years, it was all about the Rockets, Bulls, Celtics, Spurs. I was fine with that. When the Bulls won 3 in a row, and even when they took out the Lakers, I still liked them. When they won 3 in a row, I didn't get sick of it. Jordan was my favorite player but the Lakers still stood as my favorite team.

And there are some people in this world who hate a team for a good reason, I respect that. But hating a team just because they were unstoppable for nearly 3 years isn't a good reason to hate them.

It seemed like a lot less people hate(ed) the Bulls when they were the best, for a reference in other sports, not as many people hated the Oilers in hockey when they dominated. Maybe the Lakers are just a very hate-able team...
I liked the Bulls, I didn't become a hater just because they whooped Van Exel, Eddie Jones, and the rest of the Lakers back in 95. But yes, Lakers are a very 'hate-able' team and some people dislike them for the most biased reasons ever. That pisses me off. You have to understand that.

Also, when you said "who the **** are you to tell people why they shouldn't like a team", that's pretty stupid, Chris... Because I am not telling anyone who they should like or dislike. This is the Internet, and even if it was real life, I still can't and won't tell people to change their opinions. I am just making a positive statement, so don't think just because I am pretty new around here means I am a nobody with no privilege to post.
