Weekly Comment Contests for Laker Shirts & DVDs

Written by Gary Lee on 09/08/2009 in Promotions - 57 Comments

From all the tweets and facebook comments I’ve read while setting up Lakers Nation, I know that there are a lot of people out there that have a lot to say. Whether it be funny, smart or thought-provoking, I want to encourage everyone who visits Lakers Nation to share their pearls of wisdom with everyone.

That’s why I’m going to throw a weekly comment contest from now til the first game of the 2009 season against the Clippers. The rules are pretty simple. We’re going to be posting a lot of new original articles every week and all you have to do is comment on it and you’re entered into the contest.

Picking the winner is simple: Whoever makes me smile, laugh, say “DAYAM,” think or adds any kind of value to the conversation the most will be picked as the winner of the week.

Each contest ends at midnight on Saturday and the next contest starts at 12:01a on Sunday.

Prizes will either be T-Shirts from Purple & Gold LA or Lakers Championship DVDs

Hey guys,

Im Jay. Anyway, I think this season is gonna be a lot of fun. U know why? Because we have KLARD on our team. Kobe, Lamar, Andrew, Ron, and Derek. What more can u ask for? I think this might be the best team yet. We cant forget about PASS either. Pau, Adam, Shannon and Sasha. THE LAKER MIGHT WANNA MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER TROPHY. PHIL MIGHT WANNA GET ANOTHER FINGER, too. HOW IS HE GONNA FIT THE 11th RING ON JUST 10 FINGERS. Good luck for a great season and hope to be a part of the fun. LA might want to raise money for another parade!!

Thanks,
Jay Dholakia

I have been a Lakers fan since I was a kid. They have had their ups and downs and I have always stuck by their side no matter who was talking smack. Once you have committed to your team, you are a lifer no matter what. I have never really been an Artest fan. He disappointed me way back then with his cocky attitude and self centered-ness. I really want to believe that he has grown up past this and will bring a positive attitude to our team. I know he is capable. I will say that I am impressed with his shooting capability and believe that he will show us numbers. I hope Phil can use some of his ‘Zen’ magic on him. Bring on the parade people!!!

Time moves on things change greatness becomes excellence thats all that can be said about the Laker. If you just take a momment and think about the Lakers off season 2 years ago Kobe (CLAIMED) Demanded a trade the lakers just kame off of another losing season and it seemed all hope was lost. Then win the season started it seemed nothing was going change then PAU!!! were contenders long story short get to the championship and sad to say lose in six. Make no real moves in the off-season come back play solid LA basketball and win the championship all of this happened in less than about 3 years. Why you may ask? hahahhahahhahahah yall must have forgot WE DA BEST

I look forward to reading the articles and seeing what other fans have to say about the Lakers. Going to make an honest attempt to attend at least several Home sunday games. This year will go down as one of the most entertaining years in Laker history (including Magic’s time). We can expect to see more transition buckets with defense as the main catalyst. Our goal should be like the Pistons several years back and see if we can hold opponents under 70points…EVERY GAME!

still been giving it away, but some people are shy and don’t want to be featured . . . been thinking about changing the rules so people would have to consent to being featured. What do you think?
