    Things I Hate About LA and the Lakers:

    There are more bad drivers in LA County than the rest of United States combined (#ell, you might as well include Canada and Central America) and there are more bad drivers in the Greater Los Angeles than the United States, India, and China combined.

    The Lakers are so soft they make the Care Bears look like fighting, blood-thirsty pit bulls.

    There's rumored to be an unusual economic grading scale that accurately identifies the different states of an economy in relation to its statehood:

    Excellent - Very Good - Good - Average - Below Average - Poor - You're Pretty F#ckin' Screwed - California

    Silicon Valley might be the most obvious name in Western Civilization

    It might be the one place in United States where (street) gangster really do run city hall.

    It might be one of the only places in the world where a real, grimy rat-hole will cost $300,000 USD (property taxes and fledgling economy is not included).

    The Staples Center might be one of the only arenas/fields/stadiums where the crowd has more illegal drugs in their system than the players on the field/court.

    I've seen more motivated people on death row than ones I've seen in the crowds at Staples Center.

    Is Phil Jackson more of a zen master than he is basketball coach? That would explain so much, sometimes. Especially why he always has the best players on his team.

    There were more clearer days, during the Vietnam War than LA has had in last 50 years, combined.

    It's safe to say that the metro sexual population would dramatically decrease, if anyting happened to LA and its surrounding (metro) areas

    California is one of the only places in the world where Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arianna Huffington, Larry Flynt, Gary Coleman, Mary Carey, and . . . Cruz Bustamente, all could place top 10 and have enough votes to be competitive in a race to be the governor of (a real-life, non-scripted) American state with real people, real social problems, real laws, and a real economy.

    They (California and the Lakers/their fans) obviously take the term "safe haven" to another extreme.

    I think most of that was supposed to be grudgingly complimentary in a humorous way. Entertaining.

    I love the fact that the Houston Rockets annoy the hell out of opposing fans.

    This was supposed to be insulting? Still somewhat funny though, thanks to the inadvertent compliments.

    I don't think its supposed to be insulting, a lot of his top ten were compliments. Either the dude who wrote this is really stupid, or most people here don't recognize sarcasm when they see it.

    Well, technically that is no longer Houston. Sugar Land is like the little brother of Houston. The more innocent and not yet corrupted brother.

    ROFLMAO. :D
    Photoshop material! I hope somebody remakes this on the 'Photoshop' thread.
    Good ol' Phil with a bowtie and apron = the new and evolved face of KFC.

    Haha. Good-for-nothing Laker fans.

    So, there goes reasons why I should be giving more love to Clutch City then. Fakers suck and will suck for life. Period. Clutch City baby! :D

    True and in the 90s I forget the death rate caused by gang wars but it was pretty dang high.

    Only good thing about LA is the glitz and showbiz. Without that it's just another normal city.

    10. Shannon Brown. Great role player pick up and he hasn't been tarnished by being a Laker.....yet.

    9. That gecko-looking, smug-faced every time I hit a shot Kobe Bryant. We all know you're good. Have some class and try being a little more humble. You're a great player that acts like a douchebag on the court.

    8. Pao Gasol's weird neck beard. DUDE!!! Get a razor and trim that up! You already look like a really tall hobbit and the bushy neck hair just reinforces that.

    7. Derek Fisher's website. Seriously this guy has a website? Why? Who actually goes to the Derek Fisher website? Derek Fisher maybe?

    6. Sasha Vujacic is trying real hard to be on the cover of an Argentine trashy gay romance novel.

    5. Players like Luke Walton and Adam Morrison. How are either of these guys in the league? Luke.....LUUUUUUKE!! You totally suck dude and if your daddy wasn't an NBA legend you'd likely not have a job in the league. Quit your whining when you get a foul because that is your only job in this league. And Adam Morrison was cooler when he had long hair. At least he had that going for him.

    4. Laker fan. You're in a bubble and have no clue about the NBA outside of LA. You keep talking about the finals but are being stretched to (at least) 6 games to a team you considered far inferior and by a team that is missing it's 2 best players. You think you have a shot a beating Lebron and the Cavs?? You're probably not even going to get past Denver who has as much talent, if not more and is one thing the Lakers are not.....tough.

    3. Lamar Odom's mouth. Does it ever stop running? If Ron wasn't his buddy, I am sure Ron would have decked him by now.

    2. Phil Jackson. What a pompous jackass! At least in Chicago the guy was somewhat humble. Now he's rude in interviews and has an aura like the world should bow down to his greatness. Get off your high horse Jack-ass-son.

    1. LA. Half-in-the-economic-toilet, half-plastic, all over-rated.

    Please leave the rest of California out of this. I can tell from living in Northern California that people there hate LA more than we do.
