Ya, the lakers are America's team.

These Lakers have taken arrogance to a new level. The Yankees, who have won three times as many Championships are less hated. Who are the only likely fans of the lakers? Hollywood actors, residents of CA, and little kids who don't any better.
Kobe= Arrogance off the charts, spoiled, completely anti-social, and a possible rapist. Beyond his athletic ability he has nothing to say or offer.
Shaq=A 500 pound goof who speaks in monotone.
