But it is because I am a "real" Laker Fan. And yes, I was there, yelling at the TV screen during the Kwame and Smush days. <br /><br />I was also there during the days when the jazz would beat the lakers (with kobe and shaq) every year in the playoffs, when team that was coached by Del Harris.<br /><br />BUT, i was also there as a baby, watching the showtime offense with my dad, who brought me up to be a laker fan. I also had to deal with nagging sisters who always said Jordan was better than Magic. and everytime Jordan would win and I would get picked on. (the same Jordan that crushed your beloved Malone and Stockton)<br /><br />So when, Phil Jackson came around, and gave me a three-peat it gave me a voice. It gave a voice to a lot of long time fans. I am not a band wagoner because of that, as it seems you are implying I am.<br /><br />As a Laker fan, I do like to talk trash to oppenent fans and rivals. I like to think I have the maturity to not get personal about it and to not take any trash talk towards my team personally either.<br /><br />When I made my cut-down about Stockton, it wasn't because I didn't have any respect for the guy or because I don't know what I am talking about. I was just matching the Kobe trash talk that was in the actual blog post that I was responding to.<br /><br />With that said, I was having fun and I am sorry if the readers of this site mis-interpreted my comments as being disrespectful rather than jestful. <br /><br />In the future I will make note of how sensitive your fans are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669569035319113851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-52848755842855103722009-07-15T17:48:07.044-07:002009-07-15T17:48:07.044-07:00Sammy, Sammy, Sammy.

I'll give you a hint - its one more than the number of logical posts you've made on this blog.<br /><br />Congratulations to Mitch Kupchak for this year's championship by pulling off the trade of the century in getting Pau for Kwame Brown. Without Pau or without Shaq, Jazz fans have seen how successful Kobe is. However, I doubt you (like most fans in LA) were a Laker fan during that time.The Golden Griffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363590011549196503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-77049144534344834772009-07-15T17:28:52.299-07:002009-07-15T17:28:52.299-07:00To; Olson

It then allows Boozer to go tell the media, which then lowers his trade value. If you were a GM, there is no way you say that to the player until the trade is a done deal.<br /><br />I just dont believe it happened.

Maybe Greg Miller didn't have the conversation with Boozer but O'Connor did? My bet is that someone at a pretty high level of the organization told Boozer in the last ten days that things weren't going to work out. It seems like an odd thing to make up (embellish, maybe) especially given the fact that it's clearly true.<br /><br />Also, since when you do listen to Locke, Booner?

When asked about it last week Jazz management had no comment and Boozer confirmed it. <br /><br />With regards to Fisher, I don't think Jazz fans should boo him. And I completely understand the NBA is a business. All I'm saying is he used a legitimate personal reason to get out of his contract to go back to the Lakers without seriously considering any other teams. I find that disingenuous, even if it's nothing worse than what happens in the NBA all the time, or the business world for that matter.Pasty Gangstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698648490287890186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661363167240819401.post-18351648057269490452009-07-15T08:27:17.012-07:002009-07-15T08:27:17.012-07:00Having said all of that, I agree with Golden Griff...Having said all of that, I agree with Golden Griff that, when Boozer comes back to town wearing a Bulls / Heat / Pistons / LA Sparks jersey, I would predict that he will HEAR it like not many former jazz players before him.<br /><br />He is hated.<br /><br />And then he adds fuel to the fire by going on Chicago radio and making up lies about conversations had with Greg Miller (which supposedly NEVER happened).
