I've been a Lakers fan since growing up in Oklahoma. My hometown's finally got the Thunder, which is really exciting, but I've still got to stick with the Lakers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have nothing but respect for the Lakers. So many of their legends shaped who I am as a person and player.
It was really an easy decision for me to be a part of the Lakers. It's priceless. It is one of the few places where I truly get lost in the joy of the moment of that game. All of the stresses and all the responsibilities are gone.
The Lakers had been home to me, unlike the home I had grown up and felt apart from.
The Lakers are family. My kids don't have to switch schools. Little things like that are important. People don't think about things like that. I feel like something special is going to happen in this town.
I love Memphis. They've been good to me, the town and everything else. And quite frankly, I love the NBA and love being involved in it.
I'm a Kansas City kid, so I love my Royals and Chiefs. I went to the University of Kansas, so I love the Jayhawks. But I live in L.A., so I'm a fan of the Dodgers.
I have a fond place in my heart for Seattle, so I hope that an NBA team comes back to this great city, this great sports city.
I never was able to be a Lakers fan - I'm more of a Spurs fan.
I can't root for the Lakers. I grew up in northern California, so I spent many of my young adult years rooting against the Lakers.
I grew up in L.A., so I'm a huge Lakers fan and Kobe fan.
