Charles Barkley:

"Whenever the Lakers are scheduled on our channel, let's substitute them for the Sacramento Kings."

And yet...your teams combined have 0 titles while the Lakers have 17.

Yet at least one HOFer would rather watch a team that hasn't made the playoffs since I was in high school.

Think you hit the wrong symbol bud, because you're not 17-0. The Eagles lost their opportunity on Monday to be 17-0.

If you want to take personal validation out of one organization's 17 titles, that's your choice.

That said, just because my two NBA teams have never won it does not mean I have never witnessed championship performances and those who think that don't know their asses from a hole in the ground.

Fact is I grew up in the closest Indiana county off the Illinois border. That means Chicago was and still is my nearest metro area... The 90's were my childhood, but the fact remained that I grew up to choose my own teams. And it's easy to bandwagon jump the Yankees, Celtics, and Lakers.

Title envy can be a problem for some men. Makes them feel... inadequate...

So what if you're not a bandwagon fan...?

I've followed the Lakers since '70. Sounds to me like you're just talking hater talk...

Of course that HOFer also doesn’t have a ring.

The insult is not that my two teams don’t have titles. The insult is the notion that I’m that feeble of a fan that I’d hate on a team simply because they have titles.

I legit rooted for the Celtics in last year’s finals and they too, guess what, have 17 titles. @trojanfan12

Mitch Richmond has a ring and I bet he’d want to watch Sacramento too.

They'd have 18 if you had chosen to root for the Warriors...so you have the gratitude of Warriors fans and Lakers fans everywhere.

But it’s not like you’re a Celtics fan. You are just a bigger hater of the team they were playing. I get it, you hate the bandwagon fans of successful teams; but that describes almost none of the fans on this board of the teams you hate.

So basically what I take from this is that if the Nuggets face Boston in the finals, then it would be your worst nightmare because in that case I'd be rooting against the Celtics.

Could very well happen. Everyone (myself included) thought we were dead in the water for tonight's game but ended up pulling it out.
