    HOHUM, you're a guest here. I suggest you begin posting like it. As with living in the state of Texas, if you don't like the BBS, don't let the door hit you in your fat ass ass on the way out.

    No problem. Notice that new user registration is turned off, so you're not coming back, either.

    Idiot.

    My favorite team to root against is the Suns.

    My favorite player to root against is Kobe, especially after visiting lakersground.net . There are more Kobe ball lickers on that site then there are p*rn films made in the whole state of California. Every thread I've read from them is, "the only guy that played with any heart or desire tonight is Kobe. Shaq had nothing to do with us getting 3 championship rings." Those guys don't even know how good they have it, and b**** about the only guy in the game that carried them to 3 rings. I also have no sympathy for the man off the court. Whether he's guilty or not in the rape case I don't care, the fact that he put himself in such a position to even be accused is stupid on his part. Magic Johnson is my second favorite guy to root against. He doesn't play anymore but he's such a homer that it makes Sean Elliot look unbiased towards the Spurs.

    Geez, "HOHUM" was pretty immature for a 33 year old....

    :rolleyes:

    anyway, the most annoying teams:

    Fakers - always a game of 8 on 5
    Mavericks - can't stand nash
    Suns - Marbury's a punkass (but I guess it's now the knicks)
    Kings - their fans...need I say more

    player:

    Kobe
    Shaq
    Malone

    actually you know what? when i was on their bbs, they had nice stuff to say about us :)


    "Clutchcity isn't too bad. It's the Rockets forum. And I've seldom read disparaging things about the Kings or the fans there." -Lucky16

    "In terms of overall quality, Clutchcity may be the best fan site on the net; they have a few flaky fans, but every board has some flaky fans.
    Although, in terms of fanatacism, Yaofan is probably even worse than Hedofan. " -Mr. S£im Citrus

    Well, too bad. I guess I just did. Their fans are hardcore, I'll give that to 'em, but I've just had way to many run-ins with painfully annoying fans - the ones that all seem to find the Kings immortal.

    Players:

    Kobe -- even before all this rape business I just thought he was a phony. Too manufactured. I always felt like there was a man behind the curtain somewhere in Madison Avenue doing his best to make sure everyone in America loves Kobe Bryant. Plus, he's a smug primadona whiner, which doesn't exactly inspire an aura of greatness. I'm not taking away the fact that he his one of the best guards in basketball, but I personally think he he'll never have one tenth of the spirit or guts an Iverson or even a Mobley have.


    Team: The Dreaded Lakers

    For me, its the fans more than the players that make me hate a team.

    The people who bought the media campaign hype and think Kobe is the reason why the Lakers are so great, and jock him at every opporunity fill me with sadness, loathing, and dread. Also, I live near the Staples Center, so three years of thug-minded celebration after each Laker title along my street as well as the basketball-igornant homerness of blue-haired 20-something bandwagoning fans cheering lousy calls, and screaming obscenities at Charles Barkley has certainly made me bitter.


    Having said that, I have plenty of respect for the Lakers' legacy, Wilt, West, Showtime, etc.

    But the fans I deal with, like the punk who gave me a smug chuckle as if he had discovered me under a rock when I was looking for a Yao jersey in a Beverly Hills sporting goods store make me have to count to ten, smoke a cigarette, and adopt a position of moral high ground in order to keep me from succumbing to the dark passions of Laker-fan hate crime.

    Honorable mention:
    1. Cubs/Bears fans -- please shut up I'm trying to watch the game, and have *any* of you ever heard of salads? Besides, everyone knows the real baseball fans in Chicago go to Comiskey Park.

    2. Mets/Yankees fans -- Did you ever even care about baseball until you left New York, or is this another excuse to tell people you are from there? Yes, I've been there and yes the food is better than here. Now please let me watch the Astros choke in peace. Don't you have an audition or something?

    3. Cowboys fans -- No, not everyone has to like your team just because you do, and no, just because I am from Texas does *not* mean I have to. Some of my happiest childhood memories involve the phrases Luv Ya Blue, Earl Campbell, Bum Phillips and "Kick it In" and god help me I still cheered for the Steelers and Neil O'Donnell and Bam Morris in that lame Superbowl against the Cowboys, because I will never forget being yelled and cussed at as a 5 year old by a grown man in a Tony Dorsett jersey (or was it Roger Staubach?) in the Dome for waving my Columbia Blue pom-pom. Someday I'll find that b*stard, and I'll leave nothing for evidence but a derrick-shaped brand in the same side of his butt that he keeps his skoal can.

    4. Mavericks fans -- You are probably a Cowboys fan too, and in your fair-weathered fan instincts you've become an overnight, outspoken expert on the genius of Don Nelson. Just remember, Mark Cuban can spend all the money he wants, but he will never buy your team dignity or respect, much less an NBA title. This isn't after all, Major League Baseball.

    5. Spurs fans -- If I hear the world "classy" again I'm gonna pull out Double Clutch and force you to watch The Great Humiliation just for general principles. Just the fact that you know what I'm talking about proves my point. Also, you guys are even dumber homers than Chicago fans. Just when I decide I don't hate you, one of you have to go and say something incredibly stupid, like how Tony Parker is a better point guard than Magic Johnson.

    6. Jazzholes -- Honestly, I think I'm over it. I have to concede that Sloan is a great coach. Oh wait, I remembered what your team did to Drexler. And Barkley. Nevermind, I hate you still.

    7. UCLA fans -- You guys are kind of the upper-middle class WASP version of Laker fans. I'm not from here, but thanks to you guys, I catch myself cheering for the Trojans.

    1. Cowgirls - America's Team my a$$! You can have America. We'll take Texas.
    2. Fakers - Could you help but win after stealing away 2 of the best players in the league from other teams so they could play in "Hollywood?" Ughh! The "BEAT LA!" chant is music to my ears.
    3. Knickerbockers - New Yorkers think they're entitled to greatness. Well, we now have your ex-franchise player at the endof the bench sitting next to your last good coach sitting under the banner for our championship we won at your expense.
