Why do you go for the team you go for??

Well i follow the Lakers because of Earvin "Magic" Johnson i remember watching highlights when he was RC starting at C in the NBA Finals against the Smeltics and winning the Finals MVP they guy is a genius on the court his vision is unbelievable!! then slowy watching all the highlights i could back then some of his no-look passes were insane!!!!
Teamed with Big Game James, Kareem, Byron Scott they were awesome to watch!!

Then had some tough years in the 90's then i used love Van Exel and his game, then i heard there was a guy in the 93 draft class that was compared to Magic and i got really excited the dudes name was Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway when the Warriors drafted him i wasnt that happy then on draft day the fans were booing the Magic officials because they traded C-Webb for Penny after watching his rookie year i got really excited when he was paired with Shaq i thought huge things were coming for him!!!!

Then The Diesel did a runner to my Lakers and i could get excited again!!Then we traded our Veteran C for a young kid outta HS named Kobe Bryant and the rest is pretty obvious why i follow and love the Lakeshow!

Pretty much i think Magic was the Greatest Player ever to play the Game!!!!

Player collector, followed KG. Love the history of the Celtics etc etc but can't stand heaps of their old school dudes. Love the recent years mix though its been exciting to watch.

Still have a soft spot for the TWolves but living in Australia I can't understand and never got into any real American team following thing as such.

So Matty, that's the game that Ben Gordon got 45 and the Pistons snatched defeat from the jaws of victory? Would've been an exciting game to watch for a Nuggets fan! I'd have been near suicidal!! Took me a week to get over the Pistons throwing that one away.

That's the one Mate. It was insanity when McGee got that put back, absolutely loved it.
