I picked the Jazz. There whole game just really ticks me off. Karl Malone REALLY gets on my nerves, and Stockton, Hornacek and Ostertag always got on my nerves for no peticular reason. The Lakers come in 2nd because I don't really like Shaq's talk and Kobe isn't exactly the best ever, in my eyes at least, either. Just my opinions anyway.
I think we hated Stockton and Hornacek because no guys that are THAT white, should be that good. Of course, it might have something to do with the fact that we always left them wide open and they never failed to burn us with their shooting. I think we tend to hate the players/teams that cause us the most problems.
...i hate the lakers the most because kobe and phil are so arrogant. but most of my hatred of teams, stems from their fans. i hate the Jazz because their fans think they know everything about the game. and every time karl or stockton would flop they would actually buy into it and boo really loud like it was actually a foul. i mean they really couldnt be that stupid right? and actually even more than that, back in those series in 97 and 98, they would always think Olajuwon was traveling. he would make a beautiful move and about 80million rednecks would stand up booing rolling their arms in the travelling sign. ..and then they made that song on the radio "walk like a Nigerian" THATS why i hate the jazz. and very quickly i hate the cardinals because cardinals fans keep dubbing themselves "the best baseball fans in america" and the media agrees with them all the time. and when the astros won the season series last season and thus the division the cardinals have the audacity to put up a "co-division champions" banner up in the back of their stadium. HEY "BEST BASEBALL FANS IN AMERICA", THERES NO SUCH THING AS A CO DIVISION CHAMPION. AND IF YOU ACTUALLY WERE THE BEST BASEBALL FANS IN AMERICA YOU WOULD REALIZE THAT. YOU LOST THE DIVISION, YOU LOST THE SEASON SERIES. DEAL WITH IT. sorry..had to get it out of my system
