Same here. Used to be a huge fan.
Dad and I listened to the lakers games on a transistor radio when I was a kid when Chick Hearn was just starting out. Sometimes it would be on TV and we'd watch the game and listen to the radio, before the called it a simulcast.
We didn't miss many games and when we moooved to california we got to watch the games on the boob all the time.
I've been to maybe 25 lakers games at the forum, spent time in the forum club several times. I'm not small by any stretch but it's amazing how huge Vladi Divac is in real life.
But when Dr. Buss died that all started to change.
Now with all the political BS and that superdoosh lame-bron on the team, I'd rather watch paint dry that an NBA game. Wouldn't do it for money.
