This is why Buss will never let go of his golden boy! And rightfully so!

Hard to believe the Celtics and Knicks are in the top ten draws (over the Mavs and Suns).

Yes, Kobe, Shaq, LeBron, and Duncan.

The Warriors had an all-time record crowd to see Kobe. He's clearly the biggest draw in the NBA. People wonder if he might drop 100 on a given night.

I posted last Thursday after attending the Lakers vs Blazers game in Portland on Wednesday night. I think it was their only sell out of the season. The game on January 11th in Portland did not sell out, but there was a pretty big crowd. I think his 81 point game changed everything for Kobe.

Haven't the Lakers been a top road draw in the past 20 or so years? And does New Orleans get credit for every game being a road game?

I wonder if the Heat would be #2 if Wade or Shaq were there by themselves. It takes both of them and they still don't draw bigger numbers than Kobe.

The thing is, everyone loves to hate the Lakers. It's been going on since Buss bought the team and they dominated the West. Opposing fans have been circling the date the Lakers come to town on their calendars for the past 20 years.

The reason the Laker's draw so much on the road is because the Laker nation is everywhere. At the Warrior's game, the Laker contigent was huge and at times makes it a home game. I am sure this happens in every arena in the country.

I would like to see some avg.'s before and after the 81 point game, or the 62.

People hate the Lakers, but still go to see them play. They love to hate us. And hate it or love it, we still are on top.
