You Know You're a Laker Fan When...

[kobeodom]

1) You're still hating Tierre.
2) You want to slap Phil to give AB more minutes.
3) You miss a date to watch a game.

Yeah, mine are lame. C'mon, bring out the good ones.

Kobe is Kobe is Kobe is Kobe.

[dlow]

1) You rather watch the Laker game than go out and spend time with your woman.
2) You constantly switch to different channels to find any news concerning the Lakers.
3) You got teary eyed when Kobe and Shaq hugged on MLK day.

this is just me:

i look forward to laker games, but i can't seem to enjoy them. i'm just too caught up in the whole thing. i live with every point scored by a laker player and die with every turnover they commit. everyone on the other team including their mothers become very hateable from tipoff until the final buzzer. every ref's decision against the lakers is like my wife cheating on me. every dunk on the lakers basket is a slap in the face and every three against the lakers a stab in the heart. i can not even relax during halftime. not if we're behind. after the game i need about half an hour to cool down. (for games like game7 western conference finals vs. portland, or the horry buzzer beater vs. sacramento, i needed almost two days). so no, i wouldn't say i enjoy watching laker games. i care too f$$$ing much.

but that's just me.

When you spend most of valentines day on LG while your girl gets annoyed with you

[BigVeece]

you check lakersground about 100 times a day to see if there is any news from Emplay on a trade..

[seanb]

1. You believe the 2007 plan really exists and isn’t Kuppy's way of keeping his job for another two years, even after hearing Brown's contract is guaranteed for three years. QUESTION...wouldn’t Kuppy have been the one to negotiate that contract and know exactly what details it held, yet at the same time still spoke about the 2007 plan as well? Things that make you go hmmmmm.

2. You are willing to pay your rent money in order to see an actual game at Staples.

3. You still hate with a passion the Celtics, Spurs and Pistons. No matter how nice they are.

4. You turned on Shaq as soon as he wasn’t wearing Purple and Gold.

5. You actually think Smush Parker deserves to be a starting PG in the NBA.

6. You call LO is Kobe's Pippen.

7. You hated and stabbed your voodoo doll of Phil Jackson when he wrote his book, but as soon as he signed a new contract to coach the Lakers you forgot about all that non-sense.

8. You refuse to wear green, even on St. Patrick’s Day. (goes back to the hated Celtics of course!)

9. Within one week you started a thread to trade LO because he is the most inconsistent, low IQ ball player you have ever witnessed, two days later you started a thread stating LO is untouchable, he is an All-Star and the future of our franchise along with Kobe.

10. You believed Kwame was easily going to average 15 and 10 a night, instead of 4 and 5. That he would d-up all the best PF's in the league making them irrelevant and that the double teams Kobe receives would make banging the paint like walking in the park for him. You also chastised Jordan for not seeing Kwame’s potential and that Kobe would maximize his play to near All-Star levels.

11. You thought Atkins was a horrible PG and thought we got a steal in our trade for Kwame. Six weeks later you posted "What would it take to get Atkins back?"

I can't think of any more right now, but those sound pretty true to me. This is more of the blind fan than a true fan; I think many Laker fans see the humor in what I just put down. Although there will be a blind fan that takes it to heart and gets mad because they realize they think exactly like that.

When you argue with your friends so much that you almost get in a fight when they hate Kobe and LA

You named your dog Medvedenko.

[lakersdynasty999]

[Philostrator]

You hate them taking too many 3 point shots.

[Sage_10]

You know you're a Lakers fan when:

1. When you call in sick to watch a game.
2. When you miss a test to watch a game.
3. When you break up w/ a chick b/c she's not a Lakers fan.
4. When you fight w/ your friends over officiating when the Lakers won anyway.
5. When you've brainwashed your nephews into being Lakers fans.
6. When you're an LG member.

[orwell]

[Fansince88]

1. You keep checking all channels on TV for Lakers Highlights and comments when they win.
2. You avoid all Highlights and TV comments when they lose.
3. You get extremely moody after they lose.
4. You supported Lakers during the Randy PFund coaching era.

[Lakerholic]

[ncaugnit]

1) You risk verbal abuse from your live-in girlfriend because you only have one T.V. and the Lakers game is on the same time as "Dancing With The Stars"

2) You risk bodily harm from your live-in girlfriend because the same Lakers game has gone into overtime.

3)You risk arrest and prosecution because you lock your girlfriend in the bathroom(tie one end of your robe-sash to the bathroom doorknob, and the other end to the closet doorknob ala McGyver) because she had the audacity to turn from the game with a minute and a half left in ot to watch her program when she knows how you feel about the Lakers. You told her when you all first moved in together 8 years ago that the Lakers were your only vice, and you had to watch every game, highlight, mention of the Lakers. You have given up watching the Dodgers, because she hates baseball, all for the right to see the Lakers.

You're willing to become a terrorist and bomb KCAL 9 studios for tape delaying road games.

[LakeShowFan]

You know you're a Laker Fan when:

1) The outcome of a game determines your mood the day after.
2) You record the games, but only watch them again if the Lakers won.
3) You read every article made about the Lakers the day after a win, but avoid reading about them altogether when they don't.

[Kobina returns]

You watch the Lakers.

When you stay up until 1:00am to watch the games

When your girlfriend asks you what you want for your birthday and you reply NBALP so you can watch those Lakers games, that end at 1:00am in the morning.

When your girlfriend gets annoyed at you for staying up late to watch Laker Games. seriously, what did she think... I ask for NBALP so I WOULDN'T watch Laker Games...

[vkewalra]

When you believe every rumor any claimed insider makes, to the point of blaming management for a trade that probably was never even discussed.
