Ok Lakers age, now that it looks like Kobe is on the downside of his career it is time to reflect on this past decade and list our highlights and lowlights.
For me my favorite game remains game 7 of the WCF against Portland which started in misery and ended in that famous alley oop. Before that there were not nearly as many Laker fans and though most of us thought the Lakers were the best team in the league there were still a lot of doubts seeing our past playoff failures. If we don't win that game this decade obviously turns out a lot differently.
Worst moment is definitely the loss to the Celtics in the finals and seeing that fat faker Pierce get to win a title over the Lakers. The revenge we got in 2009 was nice, but it still can't wash the stink off of the 2008 Finals.
Other highlights: 81, 0.4, Horry for 3 against the Kings, dominating the 2001 playoffs (going 15-1), Kobe's game winner against Phoenix in 06 (lowlight was Tim Thomas 3), Gasol era, Shaq and Kobe when it worked, Karl Malone and Mexican girls, and of course Madsen dancing after the first 3 titles.
Laker fans have definitely gotten a little too spoiled and most can't seem to appreciate how good it was to be a Laker fan for the last 14 or so years. I mean even though we sucked in the playoffs before Phil got there, those teams were stacked and a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully Dr. Buss can stick around long enough to build one more title contender before he dies in the arms of whichever hot women he is sleeping with on that particular night.
