re: Remember when the Lakers were likable?

As a Paper fan growing up I never met someone who wasn't a Laker fan like the Lakers..
Showtime Lakers were those damn Yankees, always winning and people hated them for being flashy and soft and not playing real basketball. I remember watching Lakers-Pistons Finals with a huge crowd and everyone wanted the Pistons to win but me.
Likewise Phil Jackson's Lakers. People hated them for winning, getting all the calls in the playoffs and everyone on that team was a prima Donna who wanted all the spotlight on themselves, including the coach.

This is a WILD case of revisionist history

Are you saying the Lakers didn't get the deciding calls in that series?

You should try posting actual content, instead of just laughing emojis all of the time.

Totally different people. Shaq was about as fun-loving as they got. He loved the microphone and gave great interviews. Kobe was never that guy and he wasn't beloved. It took a helicopter crash to do that.
This is a horrible assessment. Both were revered in their own way.

The 97-98 Lakers were my favorite Lakers team along with Robert Horry and Rick Fox on that team.

Not really. Especially for Celtics fans.
Back then were some big games... Never liked the Lakers but I respected them.. To a degree. Like the 49ers when they were in the Saints division.

Are we arguing that Kobe was likeable? Dude went through major PR in his later years playing to get to neutral. Some revisionist history here.

I always like Kobe. Some ambitious whore didn't change that.

That team was not likable at all unless you were a Lakers fan. Easily the most hated team in the league at the time. Funny how time alters the perception of these things.

I was always a Shaq fan so those title runs were fun for me. When he left I wasn't a fan anymore.
