LA being No. 3 on that Bleacher Report list discredits it, wholesale. So what if you set fires after a Lakers championship? Whoo-frickin-hoo. You can't even get people to stick around for an entire Dodgers game even when they're winning. You don't have an NFL team anymore. You don't care about hockey. There's another NBA team there that nobody likes.

Even Lakers games seem to be more of a celebrity-spotting exercise than something you go to for the purpose of watching a sporting event. Look, there's Jack Nicholson. Seriously, who cares? It's all about "being seen."

Seriously?......How many championships have the Rockets won since the alpha dog decided to get some R & R in Atlantic City, Vegas and bat Mendoza numbers..(202 Batting Avg) for the Birmingham Barron's - he did you a favor, otherwise you would have been lucky to get swept in the finals and go 0-2 in 94' & 95"- after MJ came back to win three straight titles it was game over for the Rockets for the next 15 years - The Lakers have been in seven championship series since 2000 and have just finished winning there 5th! 11 total in L.A. since 72'....and 16 since their inception - GAME OVER!!

The Dodgers...In First place again - compared to your Astros ??? - do you want me to give you a History Lesson of each team, including world series rings ( Dodgers 6 - Scrubs 0) or there records the past 20 years, overall value of the current Value of the Dodgers Franchise $730m - All Stars - Hall of Famers L.A. Dodgers 47....Astros 6


The Chargers have been SoCal's Team the past 15 years, and have made the playoffs 5 out of the past six years - Texans 0......


Yes - there are plenty of dregs and derelicts in LA's inter city, that seem to come out at night after every Lakers Championship and do the usual low-life stupid stuff -...... but now it's time to look forward to the Lakers Victory Parade...........now that's a good time!!!!

Game over -

And last I checked, San Diego is not Los Angeles. We might as well have been claiming the Cowboys after the Oilers moved.

Their "fans" can't even be arsed to stay in the seats at Dodger Stadium past the sixth inning. I always get the lame "traffic" excuse when I ask why. If you don't want to deal with traffic, stay in your house and watch it on TV. While you're going on about championships and Hall of Famers, more than half of whom played in Brooklyn, I'm going on the quality of the fans and actual support.

Houston can't touch NY, Chicago or Boston in that department, but really LA has nothing to crow about there.

Both teams played terrible until the last 4 minutes. I'm happy my team of choice won though!
