Los Angeles Lakers

Since the day Dr jerry buss passed away this team is going downhill.
Jim buss has no clue how to run s basketball team!
From the best franchise we became the worst!
Rock bottom!

Drop the can and start winning guys!!! I remember days of the fast break. Where are they?

My parents are very social people. They left my sisters and me at my cousins’ house for babysitting often where they watched the local University of Hawaii basketball team play on television. That’s how I learned to watch a fascinating game with lots of action!
Since Hawaii has no professional basketball teams, I continued to watch our local university games and even went to the Stan Sheriff Center at the University of Hawaii to watch live games. The Staples Center in Los Angeles and the LA Lakers, in comparison are in an entirely different class…
Through
, my friends and I got Premier Seats and were able to enter Staples Center through the shorter VIP line. There were elevators, escalators, full service restaurants and souvenir areas besides the regular snack vendors. We had a corner view of the pre-​season game where Kobe Bryant scored the 1^st two points. .awesome!
When I looked around, there were special viewing suites for private functions on the level above us, and above that, there were more seats that rose up to the ceiling. I was told that it was warm up there in the «nosebleed seats» and that players looked like ants from that height.
It was a privilege seeing my first professional basketball game at the Staples Center. .The home court of the LA Lakers. .my favorite team! Thanks to my friends, Craig, Dana, Jennifer, Kym, and Tim for this memorable experience!

No matter what love my Los Angeles Lakers. Was fortunate enough to see a pre season game tonight although I do miss the Forum days, the Staples Center is a nice home for the Lakers. It was good to see Kobe play and the rest of the team the crowd was into it even though it was pre season. Go Lakers!!!

What more can I say that hasn’t been said? It’s the greatest team in the world in the greatest city in the world, no matter what Jim Buss tries to do to run the team into the ground. We will be back in a few years with a solid core and championship by end of decade. None of the available free agents were really «transcendent» enough to be on the team and continue the tradition anyhow.

My Boston Celtics f®iend and I, a Lakers fan, went to 2÷23÷2007 game. It was our first time over there for a NBA game. We sat high in section 321, but we still had a good view and fun. This place was better than the former Great Western Forum.

Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant are my most valuable players of all time. no one beats them even the HEATS!!!

This is a review for seeing a Lakers game at the Staples Center–
What an extremely boring experience.
Bear in mind, I’m from Cleveland. When Dan Gilbert took over the Cavalier franchise, he brought with him the exciting atmosphere one would experience when taking in a Detroit Piston game. So, I’m used to continual entertainment, even when there are breaks from on-​court action.
Lakers games offers you three things: A New Orleans Jazz Band (for a team based in Los Angeles, transplanted from the Minnesota– so… explain that one to me), a synthesized organist, and the Lakers girls. But, very little else. I happened to take in a game during their worst season in franchise history, so very little happened on the court, and then off the court– what the Staples Center actually has control over– very little happened as well.
Perhaps I’m spoiled being from Cleveland (words hardly ever uttered, especially in Los Angeles,) but I’m glad I bid half-​price on our tickets, because spending $ 40 to be in a crowd where no one in the organization cares if fans are there or not? It’s telling.
In the entertainment capital of the world– Lakers games prove to be the least entertaining.

First class franchise? Not anymore, the root cause of all of the Lakers failures is a result of a selfish Kobe who is injury prone, and won’t take a pay cut (who already is getting paid millions and millions) and is a household name to most of America. Just face it, the Lakers are a joke now, free agency acquisitions are non productive, and I see more fun in watching the D League pickups play because I believe they have potential. Seriously, they need to clean up their acts and stop living in that Hollywood lavish-​like mind state and focus on the court.

Wifey won 2 tickets for the laker game agains Washington. Lakers played well against the wizard although they came up short! Lakers forever!
Got my Jerry Buss ring an awesome keepsake for the best owner in sports! Go Jerry Buss!

I’m very sorry for Lakers fans.
It’s very painful to watch their continuous boring games these years. I’m not even interested in watching the games even if someone paid me (unless GS or Brazers play against).
Nothing seems to work. Changing coaches did little. Kobe is too old and takes up all the money the team could have gotten the better players instead of having selfish Kobe. He played well before, but not anymore. I still think Kobe isn’t as good as Michael Jordan. Kobe got a great athleticism, but he wasn’t like MJ — MJ had a fierce drive and strong will to win and he scored when he really needed. MJ made sure the team would win the ring without going to game ⁶⁄₇. That’s why he was the God.
Kobe was great but also lucky to play with lots of great players. It’s not just his winning DNA. Kobe didn’t pull off championships like MJ did. No one was like MJ — even LeBron. I prefer Lebron to Kobe since Lebron plays both — as a team player and star player. Kobe is «me, me, me». I saw Lebron playing in Oakland. He was way bigger, faster and fascinating player than others.
I’m not from LA (obviously) and I live in OC.
I don’t need to be the Lakers fan. When I was cheering up my teams like GS, Heat, and Brazers at gym, you all wondered and told me «why not Lakers fan?!». It’s boring to watch Lakers game. Simple. LOL: p It’s so exciting to watch Stephen Curry in GS and Damian Lillard in POR. It was fun to watch Heat till last year :(They are great but not as solid as San Antonio players. But they are pretty exciting to watch!
I wish GS will play in LA as «home» and Lakers will go somewhere else. Clippers are getting better thanks to Doc. But Griffin whines too much on GS games and doesn’t dunk much anymore. Not interested in watching Clippers anymore. I just wanna watch GS will beat them up! :p
Get yourself together, Lakers!
Your fans are crying, yet still supporting you!
Great history shouldn’t be the «history».
I like to watch my teams beat up Lakers: p
But I respect the history.

respect is respect. don’t like them but this is a five star franchise as it is going to get.

True Laker fans stick by their team regardless of their current record. The Lakers have spoiled us with their superiority the past few decades. We have been able to witness championship after championship. Thank you to the Lakers and the organization for bringing these accomplishments to Los Angeles!
Lakers for life!

I’m a Laker fan.
I’m not a fair weather fan.
I’m in cloud nine when they win.
I’m in agony when they lose.
I’m a true Laker FAN.
I’ve been a Laker fan since the eighties
I’ve seen the 5 trophies we got then.
I’ve seen the 3 we got with Shaq & Kobe
I’ve seen the 2 we got with Kobe & Pau.
I’ve enjoyed all the winning.
I am a Laker fan.
I dislike the losing.
I have agonized the last two years
I will be optimistic about their future
I miss Dr. Buss.
I’ll continue to be a Laker fan.
I’ll support my team.
I’ll wish for a better season next year
I’ll enjoy watching Kobe to the end.
I’ll hope for the next Laker SuperStar.
The Lakers spoiled this Laker fan
The Lakers are legendary.
The Lakers will rise again
The Lakers will be CHAMPIONS again.
The Lakers is MY TEAM!
GO LAKERS!

…Stop the bleeding Purple & Gold
I felt like TODAY was the day that I needed to take a stand; and by stand, I mean comment on the current state of the Los Angeles Lakers. Let’s face it, given the status of the franchise, even fans who bleed purple & gold have to admit that the demise of L.A. royalty is not only hard to watch, it’s damn near embarrassing…
Their roster is a mess, their overall talent-​level is sub-​par and I don’t know about you, but if I see Magic [Johnson] make another appearance on the Tonight Show and publicly criticize the Lakers organization– I swear I’ll boycott the Dodgers.
Ok, I get it, Kobe’s in the twilight of his career and likely won’t ever be the player he once was when he comes back. I get it, Pau [Gasol] is an uninspired (and unhappy) player right now who’s incapable of carrying the team. With a supporting cast lacking in any kind of defensive principles, the writing is on the wall for this season and probably the next, folks. So there are some of the many problems;but are there any answers???
Whatever the solutions, one of them is definitely not to raise ticket prices;because frankly «the product «they currently have out on the court is mediocre at best:(
(P.s. shouldn’t have lost to the Charlotte Bobcats the other night)
*The views expressed in this review Do NOT represent the opinions of Unilocal nor any of its affiliates– they are solely my own.

Section 318 is a good source of cheap tickets for high level mid-​court seats (my kind of seats/​Jerry Buss’ seats). Going to a Lakers game usually doesn’t disappoint (even when the team is eating dirt) because the franchise reminds you what they are all about with the championship banners and retired jerseys. It’s not the same watching the Lakers without Kobe on the floor playing but I was lucky enough to go when the Lakers won 1 of their last 5 games. The Lakers got me two free tacos that night. What I also like about seeing them win is the streamers/​confetti that pops out and the «I Love LA» by Randy Newman song they play after the Lakers win. :) With the Lakers, you either love em or hate em.

The only reason I’m giving them 2 stars is because of the fans they are soo obsessed with Kobe it feels like they forget the rest of the team and the fact that there’s no I in TEAM! Their organization is pretty cool seems like they do good things for the community and the Laker band is totally awesome and creates good vibes during halftime!

And for my 300^th review… the LA LAKERS!!!
LAKERS ALL DAYYYYYYYYY!!!
Just some of my fond memories of the LA Lakers!
— I remember going to my first Lakers game at the Great Western Forum. Rocking my Kobe Bryant #8 Jersey.
— I remember the 3peat (2000, 2001, 2002)
— Robert Horry’s last second shot against the Kings, still gives me chills down my spine.
— I remember watching, at Yardhouse, the 3 that Derek Fisher hit to put the game into OT against the Orlando Magics in the finals of 2009 and running around the whole restaurant giving people high fives.
— Oh yeah. I remember the 2009, 2010 Championships too.
— And the parades! «CANNNN YOUUUU DIGGGGG ITTTTT!»
— I remember the rebuilding of the team, the drama, and the year they didn’t make the playoffs.
But through it all… I will always bleed Purple and Gold!
Any Lakers fan is a friend of mine!
#MambaReturns!!! lol

«If it’s conditional, it isn’t LOVE.»
PURP & GOLD, forever. 143!!!

There’s a Unilocal review for the Los Angeles Lakers?! 10 stars if only it were possible! I love the Lakers. I was named after Byron Scott so I was born into it. Every year I have to attend a game, with other games I have to watch on television. I would feel weird not knowing how the Lakers are doing on a game to game basis.
This is the year guys, acquiring the best point guard, many would argue, since Magic Johnson (sorry Fisher, much love too!). I can’t wait to see what this upcoming season will bring. With more trades destined to happen, we are that much closer to another championship, Laker nation will have nothing less.
