With this, let’s use this post to discuss our favorite moments from the Lakers season this year. Mine is easily the Spain vs. USA game from the Olympics.
To this day, that may be the greatest basketball game I’ve ever watched. That will be one I remember forever, how about you?
Lakers: The parade to salute the 2009 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers will take place this Wednesday, June 17th.

With all due respect to Irish people everywhere — I cannot wear green, and if you’re reading this, I know you can’t either.
Well, in honor of our dedication to the city of Los Angeles and its sports franchise (maybe more so for our Celtic hate), The Lakers Nation would like to flip the script for every St. Patrick’s Day here on out. We’re calling on all Lakers fans everywhere to dump the green for purple and gold. Now, we understand the troubles that come with not wearing traditional green, but I assure you all — if you live in the greater Los Angeles area, people will understand, you will be spared.
Remember, its always better to get a pinch or two, than lose your pride.
