Soory MiniD, but some of us actually remember "The Eraser" and Mr. Clutch, and Mel Counts, and Silky Wilkes and Happy Hairston. Go find your posers elsewhere.

Basketball is not basketball without Michael Jordan.

A pozer is someone that hops on when a team is winning... Those "gloating fans" of teams for whom they've always been gloating fans are, what we who follow one team and stick with them, refer to as "fans".

Those love muffines (like funkedup) that say "Wooohooo" for whichever team is winning is called "POZER".

But that reflects on the team's fans.. Which is an area where you are criticizing me as well. How is it a reflection on the team itself - certainly you must acknowlege that this team has won three championships in a row and that the teams coach is one of the greatest of all time - does this not make them a legitmate winner over the three years?

Now if you wanna say that many new lakers fans are hangers on to their success then that's fine but I dont see any reson this reflects badly on any team or the lakers in particular. The lakers are storied franchise going back decades IIRC and they must surely have real lifelong fans.

Seems to me you are sterotyping all lakers fans into this particular group...

LOL I just watched ESPN footage of Fisher crying on the sidelines as the clock ran out on the Lakers' season. I was hoping Tom Hanks would come out of the stands during a fourth quarter time out and say "Crying?! There's no crying in basketball!"

ROFL!

Either that or Jack Nicholson comes off his courtside seat and flips into his "Shining" role and chases the refs with an axe!

Wine Man, Jack already did that one game only he didn't have an axe. He was standing on the court berating the officials.

I really want the Kings to win but since I found out Kings' owner Joe Maloof is dating Brittany Spears I don't care quite as much. Now it's like hoping a guy who has a custom Humvee gets a matching formula speed boat too. Really, he already has enough.

Of course, there are a few real lakers fans... just not many... they just weren't cool enough till lately.
