I never was able to be a Lakers fan - I'm more of a Spurs fan.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 have often wondered why I was never captain of the Lakers.
I don't follow sports that much now, but I was a Phoenix Suns fanatic in the early '90s.
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.
When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.
I'm a fan of LeBron James. I'm not really a team fan; I'm just a fan of one player.
I grew up in L.A., so I'm a huge Lakers fan and Kobe fan.
I have nothing but respect for the Lakers. So many of their legends shaped who I am as a person and player.
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.
The Lakers had been home to me, unlike the home I had grown up and felt apart from.
