Actually its probably earlier. just their purple lame looking uniforms and Kurt Rambis' general wack-assness. Lakers suck!
 
When my father's sperm penetrated my mother's egg. The first cell split and voila, my hatred of the Lakers doubled.

After that video I think someone from the press needed to give Kobe some toothpicks. He was busy working on that chicken sandwich in the locker room after the game. He was working that tongue man!

I started hating the lakers when Portland crapped out in the final round of the 2000 WCF (June 4) being up 15 points and then losing it.

But I ask you.... you LIKED the Lakers before then??
 
I surely hated the Lakers even before I could draw breath. Conception seems as good a time as any. Does life begin when one begins hating the Lakers? Call the theologians!

Since birth, but the hatred grew "since the 4th quarter of the game that shall not be named" and after Kobe's unforgivable trip to Colorado.
 
I "thought" I hated the L*kers until Kobe to Shaq lob in the WCF and the ensuing Def Comedy Jam reaction from their team. That took it to new level. But as to when it started? My dad brought me on board as a Blazers fan as a kid and any self respecting father teaches his son of the evils of the L*kers from day one so I knew right away that I hated them. 10 million Blazer fans cant be wrong can they?

1991 Western Conference Finals...

That's what did it for me. Up to that point it was a fun rivalry. The Blazers were the best team in the western conference that year (even Magic said it after they eliminated the Blazers). Magic's swatting the ball and making it go out of bounds at the opposite end of the court so we couldn't inbound on our end of the court was so incredibly lucky. We all knew it was our year to win the championship and that memory is still so sickening to me it's like it happened yesterday.

I didn't mean that I liked them before. I just found them as an annoying team. But after the Blazers lost to them in that WCF i really started to hate them.

I did, I was a Blazer fan but the Showtime Lakers and Boston battles in the 80s was some of the best basketball I've ever seen. It was like beauty versus brains. LA was so freakishly athletic and flashy and Boston had all these supposedly unathletic players who won with their smarts.
 
i'm still trying to plan to get a blazers jersey on that magic johnson statue at staples somehow. that would be an awesome picture to have.
 
always disliked them.. pure hatred was when Rick Fox was on the team. Kind of like how I feel about KG and Birdman right now. total Douchebags.

You have to post it here if you ever succeed. I think you'd be the Blazer board hero for at least 10 minutes. :notworthy:

I was too young to remember '77.

I can't really pin point a date, but it was in the early/mid 80's for me. The Blazers had some really good teams back then. Pax, Calvin Natt, Clyde, Mychal Thompson and later Vandeweghe, then later Kersey, Porter . . . every year a (select) FEW of the Media would pick the Blazers "to finally overtake" the Lakers. I would buy into it . . . and every year the Lakers won the Western Conference (I think the Rockets went a couple of times, but almost always it was the Lakers)

The "Showtime Lakers" . . . ugghh. They never die either. Oh, they might go away for a year or two - like 1990,only to knock us out again in '91. Then after Majic retires a little swoon that almost made you forget about them until Shaq and Kobe and Two Freeking Thousand (2000 WCF) Then Shaq and Kobe break up and you start to think they are toast again, when they come back last year/this year looking like another 4-5 year WC Dynasty. All Time playoff series record is:

Lakers 9
Blazers 2

Yeah, I hate them.


We have 1977 and 1992. They have 1983, 1985, 1989, 1991, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002.

I was too young to be a huge Blazer fan very many years before 1991

I agree about hating them after 1991 and then forgetting about them somewhat after Magic retired, and then being reminded how much I hate them in 2000. Haven't forgotten since.

I'll figure a way to do it.....it'll be best if and when the time comes where Portland knocks the Lakers out of the playoffs. I'll scope it out next game I go to (prob Blazers @ Clippers)

3am in the AM? Do they have 24 hour security there? I'd just try to do it in under a minute..snap a pic, post online.

Yeah I would guess 3-4 AM would be your best chance but Im willing to bet they have 24hour security all around the Staples Center and Nokia theater
 
that would suck. maybe hire bums to do it for me? that might work...i'll just run in and snap the pic...maybe hire a bum to keep them busy too? 10 bucks should do it.

haha
 
I was born in New Jersey and raised from the age of 2 in Southern California. By a baseball loving family, so the Lakers were not really in my consciousness. I was aware that there was a semi-local basketball team called the Lakers but was indifferent.

After I escaped Southern California I tended to dislike LA teams, all of them, on general principle. But again, I was a baseball fan, loved it when the A's beat the Dodgers in the 74 World Series with me in the bleachers screaming. Lakers still not really in my consciousness.

I really only started following the Blazers in 1990. That year the Lakers were eliminated by Phoenix so in the Conference Finals Portland beat the Suns. The Pistons were the team to hate since they so totally dissed the Blazers and the city.

I disliked the Lakers in the next season, because it was known that either Portland or LA would win the West. But like Spud and others it was the 1991 WCF that made me loathe all things purple & urine. Because the media were so openly rooting for LA even though Portland had the better record; they wanted Michael vs. Magic. Up until the last second of Game 6 I was absolutely convinced, beyond any shadow of an inkling of a doubt, that Portland would win that game. Even after Cliffy blew the 4 on 1. When they got the ball down a point with 13 seconds, I thought, of course, they'll hit a shot and win by a point, then take care of business in Game 7 at home. It was a game, not of inches, of millimeters. Terry's shot just missing, a shot he makes 95% of the time. Jerome and Cliffy going for the rebound and tip-in, and the ball off Jerome's fingers by the smallest fraction of an inch. Magic could have held the ball on the rebound and forced a foul, instead he showboated. And all I heard was crowing about how this is the way it is supposed to be with LA beating Portland.

And if I needed any amplification, I got in on a June day in the year 2000 in LA. Yes, I was there.

PUKE on LA! PUKE on them! If the Lakers were playing the Devils from Hell I'd root for the Devils from Hell. PUKE PUKE PUKE on LA. May they spend an eternity in my cat box being pissed and pooped on by 4 cats, including Rudy and Brandon!
