Even in the past few years, when they were at their worst, Spike Lee, Howard Stern, Tracy Morgan, even Paris Hilton could be seen in the stands. Not only that the stadium is always filled with fans.

This is because they root sort of casually for teams that they mostly stole from other cities. The Lakers were from Minneapolis. They've stolen almost all of their failed NFL franchises. They stole the Dodgers from Brooklyn. They're generally not supportive of teams that originated in L.A., probably because those teams don't win. Their fans are front-runners.Refnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-8343668505058489202011-01-02T12:17:30.725-08:002011-01-02T12:17:30.725-08:00Sorry about that Ken - I thought some people might...Sorry about that Ken - I thought some people might find it funny.

Any celeb who did not show up during the Isaiah Thomas years and starts showing their face at court side repeatedly now should have the penalty of having the cast of "Jersey Shore" be given comp tickets right next to them for the entire season, just so people know where loser's row is.<br /><br />(On the other side, were the Lakers to start on a downward spiral and the Clippers didn't screw up Elton Brand and actually put a supporting cast around him, how many of those court side celebs at the Laker games do you think would magically become Clipper fans if their curren team suddenly was the one enduring 50 loss seasons? They'd be like the front-running jerks who show up at sports bars at the start of each NFL season wearing the jersey of whatever team won the Super Bowl last February, and acting like they've been a fan of that team for life.)Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-59433776881703512022011-01-02T06:43:29.847-08:002011-01-02T06:43:29.847-08:00Who 'da Guy is right on.
