http://www.beyondthebuzzer.com/2013...-no-time-start-burning-dwight-howard-jerseys/ Just to explain the difference in some fanbases for you guys: Thunder fans boo their old players when they come into their city. Rockets fans give the player a tribute of their time in Houston. Lakers fans burn a players jersey and give him death threats.
It can't be all lopsided trades, NBA Finals games and victory parades. Even the Lakers have to suffer a little bit just like the rest of us.
Would I burn an Olajuwon Jersey if he left the Rockets, nope. Harden leaves, would I? Nope. Thats me though.
Lakers are like the crazy hot chick that got dumped for the first time ever and can't take being rejected so she goes crazy trying to stab the guy in the kitchen with steak knives.
If I burned the jersey I own of every Rocket player who no longer plays for Houston, I'd start a forest fire. Battier Brooks Scola Lowry
They've won 5 of the last 14 NBA championships, been in the NBA finals in half of those years, and have only miss the playoffs 5 times since 1950 when the league started. They are smug fans who think they are entitled to everything.
If anyone burned an Olajuwon jersey when he went to Toronto they might have been arrested, beat up first, then arrested.
