Lakers Sweep Nets for Title I know it’s really hip right now to player hate on the Lakers. I’m not quite sure why people in our culture enjoy hating people for their success so much. I’ve been a Lakers fan since I was a little kid, so I’m basking in the glow of this championship era with the assumption that I will probably never see this again. In my opinion, Shaq is a more dominant player than even his Airness was. Next season, he’ll have the chance to make it four straight.
