Is anybody jealous of LA sports?

[Clippersfan86]

Clippers and Lakers both made the semis (disappointing for Lakers, great step for Clippers) then you have the Dodgers one of the best teams in baseball and now the Kings are about to win the Stanley Cup after not being a playoff team last year. To live and die in LA :pimp: :pimp: .

Raiders are looking into moving back.

[Ruh-Roh]

Nope. We got the Cubs.

[L8k3r5]

Everybody says it's going great but IMO not really. The Lakers got bounced out of the second round for the 2nd straight year. The Clippers got swept (even though they are a young team). The only thing going for LA sports right now is the Kings in the Stanley Cup Finals and the Dodgers because Magic Johnson just recently bought the team. The Clippers have a bright future ahead of them though. The same can't be said about my Lakers :(

[Draz]

I don't get where your coming from. They're making great progress (ex Clippers having a good first step) but both LA teams are knocked out. Their clubs are all very well solid and I guess management is the reason why. Teams need to step their shit up office wise.

I agree the Clippers made a great step forward this year. But the Lakers look like they are downgrading and the Clippers still need a few more years until they become legit championship contenders. LA sports would be going great if the Lakers and Clippers faced off in the Western Conference Finals, the situation for the LA Kings would still be the same, and as far as I know, the Dodgers arn't doing too bad right now. Magic Johnson is also the new owner as well.

[wagexslave]

The Lakers are a sinking ship. The Clippers are young and improving but still aren't quite there yet. Couldn't care less about Hockey and Baseball.

Football on the other hand I love just as much if not MORE than basketball, and LA doesn't have a football team while my city does, so I have nothing to be jealous of in that department.

So yeah. I'm a little jealous of the position the Clippers are in right now just because my Suns' future is bleak and they have some rebuilding to do, while the Clippers future is young and bright, but that's pretty much it.

This is what I was thinking, except that in my case I have no idea what's going on in baseball, or Hockey, what team is good and not. So nothing to be jealous of.

Also noticing how the majority of people don't care about sports. I posted that Perkins quote about Andrew Bynum on a regular forum place, and people just had no idea who they were.

Yea but think of it this way. Title coming to LA from hockey, most successful NBA franchise ever which won back to back titles 3 and 4 years ago and breakout teams Clippers and Dodgers. Then Raiders want to move back. Galaxy won MLS cup last year too.

Dodgers haven't won the series since '88. Your staple team is regressing and doesn't have a good outlook for the years to come (Lakers), the Clippers are still the Clippers, and I couldn't give a shit less about Hockey.

Sound jelly to me. Lakers recently won 2 straight, Galaxy won cup last year, Kings about to win it all. No other place has that much local success right now.

[RoseCity07]

Not really. I'm a bit jealous of the Spurs success. I don't really look at big market teams that win as anything special. When you just get stars going to your team because of the market that doesn't take any discipline.

I respect teams that build through the draft and are smart. I loved New Orleans when they were good with CP3. I like how Dallas won it. I despise what New York did and I love that it has been a disaster.

Kobe - draft

Pau - trade
CP3 - trade

[JustinJDW]

Nah, not really. I mean the city itself is one of the greatest cities in the world. I love it, but the people and sports fans here are fake as hell. I mean its posers and douchebags everywhere. Others that live here can vouch for that, and people only care about the teams when they are winning. Otherwise they couldn't give a damn. Its amazing how entitled people feel around here.

Just this year alone, its amazing how many Kings and Clipper "fans" have suddenly appeared. :rolleyes:

The city is awesome, and the Staples Center is a awesome arena. I've been to many games and the atmosphere is always great, but its just the people. About 99.9% of people that you see wearing Angels, Dodgers or Laker caps are just wearing it for style. You see snapbacks from all types of teams and leagues, but they don't know a damn thing about them because they're just following a stupid trend. Everyone of them thinking they looks unique, hip and different. :rolleyes:

But hey, you can't have it all. There are tools and douchebags in every city. L.A as a whole is pretty laid back, and I love it. And I can assure you no one gives a damn about soccer here. Beckham or no Beckham.

Kobe - draft
Bynum - draft
Griffin - draft
Pau - trade
CP3 - trade

I'll give you Bynum and Griffin. Kobe draft? He basically forced the Hornets to trade him. There is a reason teams passed on him.

Bynum was actually a pretty good pick. Clippers got lucky with Griffin but can't hate there. Cp3 forced his way out to the Clipps. The Pau trade was a ridiculous at the time and LA got the better deal.

2 championships is more than Marc Gasol.

[Rake2204]

I've been fortunate to be a Michigan guy. As such, not a lot of jealousy there. Relatively frequent Stanley Cup runs, a decade of outstanding NBA basketball (and a ring), World Series contenders, playoff football team (strange to say), and excellent university sports (MSU and UM). We're not champions of all, but I can't say we're suffering and envious of anyone.

My Father and I have been Manchester City fans our entire life..

You will never feel the same joy we felt when City won the PL for the first time in almost 50years

Just because your lame soccer team finally won a championship doesn't mean LA sports fans dont appreciate theirs. Too many idiots confuse REAL die hard fans with Kobe apostles.

[bagelred]

L.A. Sports are so good, makes me want to riot.

Is there a riot happening right now in L.A.? It's about 50/50 whether one is happening.

[DStebb716]

Well the Giants won the chip. The Knicks made the playoffs. The Rangers made the ECF. The Yankees are the greatest franchise in US history. And the Mets actually look good for once. Oh, and there are TWO football teams in NY instead of 0.


(too bad I'm only a fan of the Knicks out of those)

[DStebb716]

BUT.. as much as it pains me to say this since they hold all of my least favorite teams.. Boston is by far the best sports city at the moment. Even with the circus that the Red Sox have. The Bruins need to boot the child that is Tim Thomas and let Rask take over, but they're going to be fine. The Pats are always going to be contenders until Brady retires. The Celtics have a few interesting questions going forward.


Sucks though.
Bruins: least favorite NHL team.
Celtics: least favorite NBA franchise (Heat are my current least favorite team)
Pats: least favorite NFL team.
Red Sox: 2nd least favorite MLB team (behind the Phillies).

[Kblaze8855]

Nah. Without football its nothing to be jealous of.

[Clippersfan86]

[tmacattack33]

They don't even have a football team.

And nobody there even cares about hockey so what the Kings are doing right now is irrelevant.

[Dengness9]

LA really doesnt have that much going on for me to be jealous.


I love Chicago and my Chicago sports teams so it's hard to be jealous when I have already witnessed 6 Bulls chips, a Sox chip, BHawks chip, almost got a Bears chip too(was alive in 85 but not old enough to take it in).

The last time I looked at another sports town with any sort of jealous type of emotion was with Boston. The Pats, Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics have all won chips in the last 5-10 years. When you can witness a championship in the 4 major american sports....that is special. In such a short amount of time too.

P.S. NO ONE CARES about the MLS or whatever the pathetic league is here in the states. It means nothing in comparison to Fifa world cup or Euro cup.

Any LA success aside from the Lakers' has been only recent. Clippers made the playoffs 3 times since theyve been in LA, Kings made the playoffs like once evenn after they got Gretzky, and the Angels were so medicore they made a movie about it....nothing to be jealous of

[BallsOut]

How did you not mention the Kings? :facepalm

[WesWelkerACL]

LA is the true mecca of basketball and that's just an apparent fact and not even debatable....

But L.A. sports as a whole leave a lot to be desired. Nobody gives a shit about hockey and the Dodgers have been bad for a decade. Even now they are only 4 games up in their division. And most importantly there is no NFL team. What is there to be jealous about if there's no NFL team? Are L.A. fans jealous of Jacksonville? Buffalo? Come on man.

And to the OP: Usually I just lurk here and I'm just an impartial observer. YOU are consistently one of the worst posters I see on the internet. Take some time off bro.

LA is a legit sports town for sure, it doesn't have quite the history and traditional as some of the east coast teams (especially baseball) but they definitely have championships to go with it.

The raiders won a couple of titles in LA. Kings, Dodgers all have titles in LA. USC, UCLA are two of the most dominant college programs of all time and then of course you have the Lakers.

[JellyBean]

Heck yeah!! Man I have always been jealous of the LA sports scene. Back the late 70s and all of the 80s, you had the Rams kicking butt, the Dodgers with my favorite player Ron Cey doing his thing, and then the Lakers with Magic, Kareem, Norm, and all of the Laker greats; yeah I am jealous of the LA sports. We just gotta get football back in LA.

[hawksdogsbraves]

LA has some (very) good franchises, but I wouldn't call it a 'sports town'. That label would be saved for Chicago, Boston, and maybe New York.

[Clippersfan86]

This thread being made by a Clippers fan made me :oldlol:


Sorry, Clippersfan.

I love the state of LA sports right now. Clippers may be historically bad but they are no doubt a contender right now and this will be the only time in sports history where two teams who share a building have a shot. Then we had the Kings win the cup, Galaxy win their title a couple years ago. I'm just happy with what we got in LA. No need for people to make this about the Clippers specifically when I mentioned all the teams doing something worth noting right now.

[Clippersfan86]

No one is jealous of the Clippers dude.

I think a lot of people are VERY jealous of what the Clippers have right now and it's a big reason they are arguably the most hated team in the NBA right now next to the Heat and Lakers. People like to blame it on the flopping but it can't be just that or the Spurs would be the most hated.

I think it has to do with the fact that people are mad they can't bag on the Clippers anymore and get taken seriously. The Clippers are likely a top 5 team in the NBA this year and that's no laughing matter.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Nah, Memphis is much better then LAC. They should have won last year. Giving up a 27 point lead and another 18 point lead in two consecutive games is once in a blue moon luck.
Sorry Clipperfan, OKC, LAL, and Memphis are the top dogs in the West. Then the Spurs, Mavs and Clippers are fighting for that middle tier position. Atleast I believe so.

I really respect how good Memphis is but this is obviously just a ploy to rile me up because it's beyond stupid :facepalm . You failed to mention the Clippers having their 5 best players injured including Billups out entire series and Butler out two games. Or the fact that CP3's injury just so happened to come the game following a 3-1 Clippers lead and it obviously affected him greatly. Clippers were going to wrap it up in 5 most likely if CP3 was healthy and that's not accounting for the other injuries.

Bottom line is the Clippers are already the better team (you can say that when you win a series) and had a much better offseason than the Grizzlies. As for growth from within that ncr has talked about here... the Clippers younger group of Griffin, Jordan and Bledsoe will keep improving.

Last season I was saying the Clippers would eliminate the Grizzlies two months before the season ended and people thought I was crazy. Now the depleted Clippers win a series and get much better in the offseason and it's "Memphis is STILL better"??? Keyword still lmao.

You wrote too much. Just read the first segment. Grizzlies are the better team. LAC made major improvements and I detest the Lakers so I want LAC to overthrow them. Obviously that won't happen with LAL's current additions, but your theory on the Clippers being a championship team is defenitely not possible. They can't beat OKC or LAL. That's pretty much what it comes down to.

5x nba champs 7x nba finals
1x world series
2x stanley cup

and a bunch of titles in other leagues like the WNBA, MLS, and various major college sports. So aside from the lack of an NFL team I think we're pretty good.

Chicago Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, Sox, Cubs....easily better then L.A. ....L.A. isn't even a sports town is a bandwagon town...imo it's Boston,Chicago, NY in no particular order

Lol, yet when Dodgers have sucked for like 20 years we still were at the top of the league for merchandise sales and attendance. Riiiight. Even in down years the Lakers sell out their seats. This town is all Lakers and Dodgers. The OC is all about the Angels and Ducks. And the people who love their UCLA/USC teams are pretty hard core. Whereas after Jordan wasn't there a huge drop in season ticket sales once all the season tickets bought during the Jordan era expired? Yeah we have tons of people here that don't care about sports, but then we really have lots of people in general. Particularly from other states and countries.

You can call Lakers fans bandwagon fans all you want, but the reality is we haven't been bad for a long enough stretch to really test it out. That's a nice luxury to have as a fan. Even the "bad" years with Ced Ceballos still was fun to watch. Really the only awful year I can remember was the year Kobe and Odom spent most of the year injured and they missed the playoffs. All that and it still takes like 5-10 years to get a season ticket.

edit: Just looked up Chicago's titles. so since 2000 you have one stanley cup and one world series right? What makes you think Chicago deserves to be up there with Boston?

Yup against a great team when your 5 best players are injured? Now you have to make the finals to have a successful season lmao? Besides this year with a full training camp and better health the Clippers have a good shot a WCF. Stay mad though.

[Glide2keva]

Nope. We got the Cubs.Yeah, that's something to be proud of, oh wait.

[tmacattack33]

The best two sports are bball and football. And LA doesn't even have football.

So, I'm glad to be where I'm at and if i had to pick a best sports city it'd be New England recently...Dallas would be up there...Chicago too.

[Pushxx]

New York and Boston are far and away the two best sports cities of all-time.

[Heavincent]

A Lakers vs Thunder WCF matchup is pretty much a lock. The Clippers have a fighting chance at the WCF, but a good shot? I wouldn't say that.

Yeah but even if you only count Football and Bball, LA has NE beat 5 to 4 since 2000.

:oldlol: . What better situation can he go that can afford him at a max contract? Don't say Dallas either. He can choose to play with a young star not yet in his prime or 35 year old Dirk next year.

You mean the cheap owner that's 14 mill over cap right now and at luxury threshold? The one that just paid his star 95 million? Yup... dirt cheap! BTW that's ironic coming from a Bulls fan.

[SilkkTheShocker]

I just find it hilarious that the OP tries to group the Clippers, an abortion of a franchise, with the Lakers.

[dunksby]

Only a dumbass like OP would be jealous of a city because of its sports teams.

This. Boston has been the most successful sports city the last decade and I would never even think about living there or rooting for any of their teams.

Clippers are an up and coming contender built in two seasons. Nothing about my post is comparing them to the Lakers but a good Clippers team obviously adds to the quality of LA sports doesn't it jackass? Keep trying though :hammerhead: .

Well that's in total rings.

I'd rather have a team in both my favorite sports than have one team win 5 rings in one sport and then not even be able to go to a pro game (or watch the games at home or at a bar...or just talk to my friends on monday about the game) in the other sport because my city has no team.

That's your personal preference, that still doesn't change that LA has more titles even without football. Which should tell you something about the success of the sports teams here. Also because of parity, superbowls just don't mean much since random teams win them every year as part of the cycle right?

Besides that most people here who crave football can drive a couple of hours south and hit chargers games, or USC/UCLA games in town. We still have football, just not our own NFL team. Hopefully this farmers field thing goes through and we end up with two NFL teams within the next five years like they're planning.

Melbourne, Australia. YOu know, that city that's constantly voted most livable in the world?

I've just been on a big USA and Canada trip, and pretty much every main city I went to (San Fran, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Chicago, New York) were better than LA.

Whereas after Jordan wasn't there a huge drop in season ticket sales once all the season tickets bought during the Jordan era expired?


The Bulls attendance has been 18-23 thousand for the last 23 years. wel ed the NBa like 6 times since Jordan left. Big arena and people turn out. The worst year of attendance the Bulls have had post Jordan was still more average fans than staples centers capacity for basketball.

In 2012 the Bulls led the NBA in attendance by both home percentage and total. We led the NBA in home fans from 2000-2010. Bulls fans show up for garbage teams and contenders.



And people thinking fans are mad over the Clippers?

As is often the case....fans think other people hate their team because they are biased and spend all day defending them. The clippers like most teams who have "haters" online get them from their fans acting like jerks. Clipper fans dont know how to act with a half decent team and have been making a big deal out of it and generating haters because of it.

The team itself? Nobody cares. Not enough to hate.

[el gringos]

If there is 2 titles won by LA teams this year I'd bet on

1- SC football
2- UCLA bball



3- lakers/kings
