If you’ve landed on this page that probably means you’re a Laker Hater. In the interest of science, choose your favorite NBA team in the poll below and we’ll see which team takes the crown as hating the Lakers the most. If you actually like the Lakers you’re in the wrong place but there’s an option for that too.
Everyone knows Hollywood stars frequent Laker games. Some can be seen often (Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ice Cube – NBA.com actually put together a “top 10” list of celeb Laker fans) but many more drop by for occasional appearances. I was planning on crudely doctoring some photos of America’s most hated individuals and putting them in Lakers gear but I don’t have to. Nearly every clown in the greater Los Angeles area has turned up at Staples Center (or the LA Forum before that) to cheer on their team. Here’s a small list of famous Laker “fans” who frequently turn up on lists of the most hated people in America.
Bill O’Reilly
Chris Brown
Justin Bieber
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
Paris Hilton
Shia LaBeouf
Taylor Swift
Dr. Conrad Murray
Mel Gibson
Bernie Madoff
OJ Simpson
Osama Bin Laden
Ok, I threw a few in there anyway just for fun (Osama Bin Laker?) but with so many legitimately awful celebrities rooting for them, it’s just one more reason to happily hate the Lakers.
