So what's the story behind how the site got named? I always assumed it was like "playground" only it was for the Lakers, but never heard an official story.

Truth. I think I may have followed you over as well

I think I followed Lanny and the former "GodisaLakerFan" or whatever his name was at the time, I can't remember...

I started off lurking, and continue to lurk every now and then.

Love this site. Great fans, great history.

Take care everyone,

HK


lakersaregodsteam maybe? i came over from nbatalk with that crew.

I always remember you being a quality poster. Why'd you get banned?


too many anti-jinx threads, perhaps? hahahaha

Rivals sounds very familiar. Dont they have a Laker forum as well? They have all sports forums if im not mistaken and I used to post there. I think they're still around as a matter of fact, isnt their logo a simply the words RIVALS with a flag in the back>?

WHOAH!! a Naf_ sighting. Dude, you NEVER post. Good to see you're alive and kicking.

I think I joined Rivals right around Spring 2000.

Rivals was pretty cool - I remember we had some knock down/drag out arguments with the Blazers fans back in those days. Those were fun.

So my original name was 8LAKERMIKE34 #175 back in 2001 until I was banned(by JD). To go back little further it was this handle back on Rivals and before Rivals. I would say my original join date was in 1995 when Jason was using the Claremont High server. Jason told me about the site he was building and thought oh it will be short lived. I was wrong! I don't post much mostly lurk but it is good to see Jason's work carry on through the work of the people on here now.
