Hehe, good story....

I suppose..... well actually I'm pretty sure.... that the Lakers are the NBA team I have rooted for the most. Pardon me this tangent:

I have found, in my older years, that teams I HATED long ago because they were archenemies of my favorites teams I today have great respect for. For example: The GB Packers... in the late 60's, 70's, if you dared mention their name in my home you were risking life and limb. Today... I not only have no animosity towards them but I sometimes root for them.

Same with the Cowboys, (sorry Steve). I don't like the Cowboys in any way shape or form... but I've lost that real animosity I once had for them.

The Vikings are the exception... hated them then, hate them now, and always will hate them.
