Why 2011 Will Be the Greatest Lakers Season EVER

Written by on 08/31/2010 in Editorials - 5 Comments

kobe wan kanobiAs training camp approaches and the dawn of a new NBA season looms, Laker fans have much to look forward to for the upcoming season.  Intriguing storylines, plot twists, and high stakes are some of the reasons why the 2010-2011 Laker season will be epic.  I think of the Lakers approaching season as the final tale in the Star Wars saga, Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.  For fans of the series and of the Lakers, the final movie and the imminent NBA season is the closing chapter in an epic story.  Anything after this season (championships 7 and + for Kobe/Star Wars videogames, NJO, The Clone Wars) is just icing on the cake.  But make no mistake, the fans want this one.  Even non-NBA fans or NBA fans who dislike the Lakers will be forced to acknowledge the significance of the current Lakers team if they were to win another championship, just like how lots of girls probably got drawn into watching Episode 3 because their boyfriends forced them to.  There are so many storylines which add to the intrigue of the upcoming season, and as the season approaches the plot will continue to thicken.  Here are some stories to follow for the approaching 2010-2011 Laker season.

    Glad you are excited for your team, but I completely disagree on the attitudes of non-Laker fans.

    Most have absolutely zero interest in the Lakers “legacy” and “storylines”. The Lakers are like the Yankees. Built in advantages with big money, big market, and winning tradition that other struggling teams don’t have. Kobe was noone’s favorite even before booting Shaq and his little Colorado adventure. Boston, LA, yawn. I’d much rather see a team like Orlando, Atlanta, OKC, or Portland win it all.
