Who says there has to be a good reason to hate a team first of all? It's a damn sports team, people can hate them for whatever reason they want.

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"...

I never said there weren't people who hate the Lakers because it's all Kobe and Shaq, I said there weren't any HERE in this thread that you replied to. Thanks for putting words in my mouth on why I think they're cocky... How about because every interview I ever see with Kobe, Shaq, Fox, etc. they're acting, you know, COCKY AS HELL? The way they act and talk comes across as very cocky to me, and a lot of other people.

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.

Not everyone's the same as you. I follow hockey more closely than I do basketball, and the Dallas Stars beat the Oilers in the play-offs every damn year. You're telling me this isn't a reason to hate them? I think hating a team because they were unstoppable for 3 years is a GREAT reason to hate them. Should we all love a team that continues to beat our favourite teams and win championships every year?

don't think just because I am pretty new around here means I am a nobody with no privilege to post.

I actually didn't even notice you were new around here, I figured you've been here for a long time actually. I would have said the same thing to someone who has been here since the beginning though anyways... You never told anyone who to like or dislike, but you're telling people why they shouldn't dislike a team. Maybe I'm the only one, but (even though there are other reasons imo) does anyone else find that hating a team because they win all the damn time is a good enough reason to hate a team?
