why do we allow Laker fans to stan curry and the warriors?

[AirBonner]

California is the only state where this goes on with large numbers of people. Texas has 3 teams and you didn't see much of it there. :confusedshrug:

For the same reason we allow retards like you to post sh*t threads on this forum.

Cause they know they're going to be taking L's once Rapebe retires. :lol

So they hopped onto the next successful team in the city's state.

Fudge I have to say that you are a top 1 poster on this board and I agree. I think the irony in all of this is that Curry is making Kobe irrelevant as we speak.

[Dr Seuss]

yeah man, you should figure out a way to stop them.

[Kiddlovesnets]

I think it has 3 reasons:
1. The Lakers suck, and will continue to suck for several years to come.
2. Golden State = California, so Lakers fans feel comfortable.
3. The Warriors made Lebron 2/6 in NBA finals, and possibly 2/7 after this year.

But anyway, its perfectly reasonable for fans to stan other teams if their own teams aint in playoffs. When the Nets dont make playoffs, I root for another team too.

[Lebronxrings]

they aren't laker fans, they're kobe stans, a big difference. Gives a bad name to all the real laker fans who stick with the franchise through thick and thin. Kobe stans have no shame.

You would root for the Knicks?

[Kiddlovesnets]

Of course nope, I root for a title contender team if my Nets aint in playoffs, which means it will never be the Knicks.
:lol

Your reasoning behind #2 is the name of the state. Knicks are New York. So it should follow suit that you could root for them if they were in the playoffs, and Nets weren't.

Unless of course your reasonings are all bullshit, which they are.

You wouldn't know much about sticking through with a team through thick and thin would you

Well its almost incomprehensible how stupid and blind you are. First of all, New York Knicks could mean New York State, but a more consensus meaning is New York City. Second, I live in New Jersey, not New York, why should I root for a team just because its in New York? Last and most importantly, when did I say point #2 alone is enough to justify Lakers fans rooting for Warriors? I listed all three reasons and they must be combined to prove its validity. In fact, a lot of this do have something to do with point #3, that Warriors took down Lebron and made him 2/6 in NBA finals.

Cali is pretty tight, at least from the Bay area down to San Diego

Sacramento is just a farming village

[Funktion]

Cuz they have to sacrifice their gods final game on Wednesday in order to witness history. Party at espn2.

[riseagainst]

why do we allow Cavs fans to stan Lebron and the Heat, and the same fans also stan Lebron and the Cavs after that?

[Nick Young]

The answer is in the name. I will make this simple for you.


The Golden State (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California) Warriors.


Now do you understand?

[Nick Young]

California is the only state where this goes on with large numbers of people. Texas has 3 teams and you didn't see much of it there. :confusedshrug:
Is there any team that has "The Lone Star State" in their official name?

No.

Houston Rockets
Dallas Mavericks
San Antonio Spurs

Do you understand now?

[34-24 Footwork]

Curry is the Anti Lebron.

The Warriors are the Anti Cavaliers/Miami.

Team built for TEAM SUCCESS as opposed to team built for INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS.

Cavaliers/Heat are built for Lebron racking up assists/snatching rebounds over soft PFs (see Love/Bosh)

The Warriors/Spurs are built for optimal team success and fosters a basketball culture where you NEVER KNOW where the points are going to come from.

[PJR]

Laker fans are some of this biggest bandwagoning bitches out there. Not surprising.

[bigkingsfan]

The Golden State (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California) Warriors.


Now do you understand?

They used to be SF Warriors, they became GS when they moved to Oakland, but didn't want the association with that city. It's pure marketing.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Whatever it is, the name is Golden State. Not San Francisco, and not Oakland.

[Mr Feeny]

Because their idol stinks, isn't considered a top 10 player, and is dropping further down the all time list with every passing year. Curry, on the otherhand, is a guaranteed future.top 10 player.

These kobe stans want to latch on to a top 10 player. They've never had the enjoyment of doing that beforr:(

So Lakers fan should root for the Clippers because they have LA in it.

[Mr Feeny]

Laker fans still root for the Lakers.
Kobe fanboys have to jump on the bandwagon of a player who'll be able to get multiple mvps :applause: :roll:

Agreed! Watch him get a 2nd mvp now. More than Kobe was ever able to win:rockon:

i dont remember you guys repping Golden State two seasons ago and before:confusedshrug:

Shut up you Lebron stan you follow your idol from Cleveland to miami and back don't you dare to talk about bandwagon

[Bosnian Sajo]

You could, who gives af. I said this before and I'll say it again, if your team is not in the playoffs, you don't have to go into hibernation and come out once the champion is declared. Root for whoever tf you want in the playoffs, it really doesn't matter.

Did you mention the Clips because our teams are "supposed" to be rivals, even though we have NEVER met in the playoffs? Celtics, Spurs, Suns, Rockets, Kings...those are our real rivals.


It's a different story if say the Lakers made the playoffs, and some of the "fans" continued to root for the Warriors. That's a completely different story, and those fans are worth bashing. But people who's teams didn't make the playoffs? Who are you gonna be rooting for this playoffs, seeing as you are a Kings fan? Or are you gonna be modest jack who watches the entire playoffs with a neutral stance and has no excitement in life?


I find the game more enjoyable when I root for one team vs the other, and I'm pretty sure everyone will agree with me on this.

[Mr Feeny]

Beta Kobe fans want to jump on the bandwagon of the better player :roll:

[Sarcastic]

You should root for your team through thick or thin, and never root for a division rival. It's OK to root for another team if your team misses the playoffs, but it should preferably be an out of conference team.

The sad thing is Laker fans are just rooting, they have become absolute Stans, acting as if they have always been Curry fans and he is one of theirs.

I root for long series and close games. I don't go into the playoffs rooting for one particular team. It isn't that difficult if you're a sports fan.

[Crimsonrain777]

um..... i'm not a Lebron stan and i dont root for Cleveland

OK AirBonner

[NattyPButter]

why do we allow Cavs fans to stan Lebron and the Heat, and the same fans also stan Lebron and the Cavs after that?

most Cavs fans here are legit Cavs fans only a rare few are just Lebron fans.

[Crimsonrain777]

OK AirBonner

you think i'd stan for Boston of all teams?? :oldlol:

look at the location, breh :hammerhead:

[Bosnian Sajo]

I root for long series and close games. I don't go into the playoffs rooting for one particular team. It isn't that difficult if you're a sports fan.

Easy for you to say, your team just won 30 games for the first time in 8 years.

**** Lakers fans hopping on the GSW bandwagon :facepalm

I got your back. You meat to say, "Why do we allow Cavs fans to stan Lebron on the Cavs, burn his jersey while bleeding profusely from the vag when he leaves, hop on the Heat bandwagon, disappear when Bron cost Wade his championship, hop off the Heat wagon when he can't get it done, BACK onto the Cavs wagon all the while bending over and taking it like a bitch as Lebron has complete control of your players, front office, coach, and is still passively threatening to leave AGAIN"?

[Mr. Jabbar]

so much salt in one thread :lol

[Straight_Ballin]

why do we allow Cavs fans to stan Lebron and the Heat, and the same fans also stan Lebron and the Cavs after that?

Lebron supporters are a funny bunch.

If he makes it to the finals and wins he's praised for winning.
If he makes it to the finals and loses he's praised for making it to the finals and gets a free pass for losing becuse he lost to a "west team".

No sense of what it means being a winner and being a loser. :lol

[ShawkFactory]

Curry is the Anti Lebron.

The Warriors are the Anti Cavaliers/Miami.

The Warriors/Spurs are built for optimal team success and fosters a basketball culture where you NEVER KNOW where the points are going to come from.
So lakers fans stanning curry is literally all about Lebron?

How deeply he has affected some people :lol

[SpecialQue]

"Allow"?

It's the same for all the sports I watch, not even the NBA. It really isn't that hard, when you have a huge interest in the sports itself.
