Yes, I'm from L.A. and yes I'm a Lakers fan. I've never been one to toot Kobe's horn, I've always liked the team hustlers (Rick Fox, Ronny Turiaf, Trevor Ariza, D Fish types) but hot damn that guy is good! A great knack for making the impossible shot. I for one am grateful he's playing form my team!

For the L.A. haters, how about you keep your pathetic "Beat L.A." chants to yourself. You don't realize how dumb you make yourselves look. (and that goes for you Dodgers and Kings haters too).

Thank you for your time.

Go Lakers!

And you guys have the "Boston Sucks" chant, so it all evens out. I guess this one will have to be decided on the court. (Oh wait, the Celtics have won 17 to the Lakers, 15..... )

You can keep your "MVP" chant the day after LeBron won the MVP, that one makes you LA fans look pretty dumb. And if the "Beat L.A." chant is dumb then I guess the "Paul Pierce Sucks" chant not only makes you look dumb but classless.

For the record I hate Paul Pierce and every whiner on the Celtics (is that all but Nate Robinson, Ray Allen, and as much as I hate to admit it, Michael Finley?) but I hate fans who try and have their cake and eat it too. Your chants are just as dumb as everyone else's chants (more dumb in the case of the MVP chant, though now they're chanting it for FINALS mvp, there is a difference) and in fact, all chants are dumb unless you've yet to graduate the 4th grade. EDIT* One last thing, thanks for not comparing Kobe to Jordan. So many Lakers fans do that and it's so sad and annoying. Jordan - 6 Finals Appearances, 6 MVPs. Kobe - 6 Finals Appearances, 1 MVP, 2 losses. I'm oversimplifying it, I know, but I don't want to get an argument (because people think there is something to argue) started I just wanted to thank you for not being too much of a homer. I'm a huge Dallas sports fan but can always remain objective and appreciate you doing the same.

Kobe is definatly my favorite player, he always hits "that" shot. Hopefully the Lakers win the Finals and he wins Finals MVP.

What!?! Artest tackled him! No way that's Pierce's fault.

Lebron may be MVP, but how many championships does he have, none. Im not a lakers fan either, i liked the bulls when Jordan was there and Kobe I think is the closest thing anyone else has come to being clutch like Jordan. He's not the explosive player he once was, outsmarting opponents at this later stage in his career, much like MJ did. I think Boston will be lucky to win game 3 at home and that will probably be it, the Lakers have much more talent overall and Boston is so beat up that I dont think they can really make it a competitive series, regardless of how the Pierce vs Artest matchup goes. They dont have anyone who can guard Kobe and the Lakers front court is just too big and deep for the Celtics to stop.

I'm not going to lie, Kobe is a great player. But that isn't enough to get me to like to Lakers.

I do like gasol though. GO LEBRON

If he had a player like Shaq in his prime I imagine he'd have a championship by now. LeBron is only 25. It took Kobe a long time to get him one on his own, and he still had better players than LeBron has so that arguement is bunk. Kobe has 4 rings in 7 appearances (only 1 in which he was the teams first option) and one finals MVP. That hardly makes him one of the best ever. People forget some of the greats that have rolled through basketball.

Lets look at the last 2 years, the cavs have had the best record the last 2 years and homecourt advantage throughout, so they must have some good players besides Lebron. Maybe the eastern conference is easier than the west, fewer good teams and the bad ones are really bad(nets, knicks). If you have the best record, you should have the best team. Guess that works for regular season, example Phoenix Suns from a few years ago, though they didnt play defense. Cleveland had one of the top defenses so cant blame that either. They're missing that important sidekick, a Scottie Pippen type to complement Lebron. If he stays in Cleveland, maybe they can get that guy, be it Bosh or Staudemire or someone else.

Best regular season record, unfortunately, means nothing. Look at the Mavericks =(

LeBron does need that sidekick. Even as good as Kobe is, he needed a sidekick (once he stopped being the sidekick) and got Gasol. I thought Dirk had his sidekick but I guess the way he plays he might function better AS the sidekick. Guy is a deadly shooter but someone like Lebron or Dwayne Wade would REALLY help his game.
