Is it just me or do the Bulls own Pat Riley dating back to when he coached the Knicks. I can't think of to many organizations that have caused him more misery then Chicago!

Then you should hate the team and not the player.

Then in that case I hate everyteam unless you are the dolphins, lakers, dodgers, and kings. Actually that is true because I want ever team to lose so my team can win.

You answered the main questions why Los Angeles hate shaq. And he also trashed the city which is us the fans. After so much lakers bashing we wanted him gone. He's not better then the team. We've won Championship without him. To say that we cheer for only Kobe not the Lakers is absurb. Maybe that your reality since you live a carolina. You may have forgot that the lakers fans have packed the forum since the 70's.

Well I've lived in both cities and cant say he was really bashing LA when he said a move to south beach is an improvement. There may be a sizable core of fans that will root for the team but I'm willing to bet the majority of the TV viewers and people who come to watch the team on the road are there to boo or cheer Kobe, not the Lakers. Its no different with the Heat. Prior to Shaq noone outside Miami watched and their road games drew the standard crowds. Fans turn out to watch the stars not the sport....not that I blame em, regular season basketball is pretty dull stuff.

Even when they have a losing season just like last year they still have higher TV ratings than any other team.

Only in your little mind.....how about taking a look at the ratings and fan attendance pre and post Shaq. And then figure out what team jumped the Lakers and took over the number 2 spot in road game attendance in '04. Care to guess?

If Jason Taylor ever left Miami and critize the Organization, the city, the owner then I would hate Jason Taylor and I do believe most fans would. I cheer for team not for individuals like most fans unlike you.

You would hate a person just b/c they criticized the team you are a fan of? I must admit I'll never understand people like you. I sure hope most Dolphin fans arent like that.

Hence why the Knicks made the 1995 NBA finals, No MJ.

it was '94, '95 was Rileys last year when ewing choked against Indiana. Jordan was back but only for a few mos and he wasn't yet himslef- a year later he would prove he was back for real.

Im not a stat guy im pretty sure heat drew more then lakers drew post shaq.Im pretty sure that the difference in Avg. attandance for the lakers with shaq and post shaq is 1% or less. As for hating shaq, I chose the wrong wording because hate is a strong word. I appreciate the time shaq was here and success we had but I just didnt like the way he left so outspoken against the lakers that after awhile I was just tired of hearing his antics. Then he kept bashing even after he was gone.

true. MJ was playing like a man against boyz. Riley needs fire up his team. He needs to sit payton because he like poisin pill.

Dude, Shaq's name was mentioned in the police investigation when Kobe had his skiing trip "problem". That set off Shaq because there was no need for Kobe to bring his name up.....that was what got Shaq peeved at Kobe -- well even more than he already was.
