Not officially. But he pretty much is in a “married” type of relationship with his longtime girlfriend that he has 2 kids with. Not that I care about this part. Just about every athlete has their girls on the side. Its the rest of his antics that caused Glen Davis to just shake his head that irritates me. Like I said, I just can’t stand the guy. Even more than ARod. Most hated athlete. Nothing like good ole fashion sports hate.

I feel like Randman needs a crash course in what being a fan means.
These especially apply to you.
14. Just because you supported a team that won a championship, it doesn’t give you the right to turn into a pompous, insufferable schmuck. Remember this

I do this to you and you alone. Your over-the-top trollness on these threads makes it a well-deserved focus of retribution. Should I post a video of a crying baby here?
I’ve already stated the long story. Had many good reasons over many many years that it took for me to become a Lakers fan. This wasn’t some fly by night sort of thing. You know that. You’re just grasping for straws here. Don’t need to defend a darn thing to you. Still a diehard lakers fan no matter what your millenial punk ass says. Again, should I post a video of a crying baby here? Maybe you can lend me one from your stash.
Totally agree. This is totally pussified thing to do.
Actually it doesn’t apply whatsoever since I have been a true Lakers fan for over half of your pathetic little life now. And you’re trying to tell me what a real fan is like? I don’t take advice from interwebz trolls like yourself. Drew, when are you going to move out of your parents basement and get a real job?
You are a troll without even trying. Don’t even try and back track and tell us now that you’re trying to be humorous. You are a troll. The committee of this thread has already decided that.
The only fan violation I’ve made is the first one you listed and that’s specifically towards you since your such an insufferable little twit. And it won’t stop. It’s going to get worse. Much worse. Muwahahahahahaha!!!
None of you “reasons” are considered justified enough to switch from the Celtics to the Lakers. And what’s going to get worse me punking you on these threads, if that’s what you meant it probably will.
Like I said, you’re grasping for straws cuz u got nothing else. Even the die-hards here will agree I
one of the most die-hard Laker fans there is. And an Interwebz punk is trying to call out my basketball fandom? Bitch, i’ve been watchig basketball longer than you’ve been alive. Go run back to twiiter or facebook or something.

Did part of a season in Argentina. LA Summer Pro League, Philadelphia Baker Summer Pro League, Atlanta Summer Pro League and a free agent try out with the then Charlotte Hornets in 91. Broke foot in a summer pro league before I was to return overseas, needed a job, secured “career”, retired from b-ball 
I wish I could do it over again.

Sounds like Woody Harrelson’s character in White Men Can’t Jump.
One of my all time favs

Also a Red Sox Fan!!! Don’t forget. Yeah baby. And a Lakers fan that will threepeat much to your chagrin. It’s going to be fun year torturing you every step of the way. And you’ll take it cuz you like the abuse.
Hey drewh, I didn’t know you were in Cleveland recently.
The 2010 Miami Heat has made SI.com’s 25 most hated teams of all time:

Something about that seems way shady. No cause of death, or motive, nothin’. Also, not to sound insensitive but how do you not know the near 7 foot corpse you’ve found is a pro athlete?
Lebron is a joke. I hope Durant wins a title before the Queen does.
Q&A: Super teams aren’t super for NBA
Out of necessity to compete, do you expect the league to have more “super teams” now after the Miami restructuring? If so, is this bad for the league?â?? Brent Lew, Hampton, VA
The easy way to compete is to have other star-quality players follow suit â?? and this will certainly be the case from now on.
There are several reasons why this is and will be bad for the league:
â?¢ Several teams will practically give away good players for second-round draft choices with the sole aim of clearing cap space. This will leave little money for the teams that do sign tandems of stars to fill their rosters with capable complementary players.
Only those teams with the appropriate financial resources coupled with attractive urban environments will be able to attract top-tier free agents. This will lead to four or five teams battling for championships, four or five wannabes, and the other 20 or so franchises stuck in the mud.
â?¢ The bottom teams will therefore lose money at an astounding rate.
â?¢ No more parity. A diminishing of truly competitive regular-season games.
â?¢ With teams abandoning 5-man concepts on offense in lieu of playing 3-man games, Nellie Ball will conquer the NBA!
â?¢ As a result, young hooplings will be less team-oriented than they are now.
â?¢ In other words, the NBA would have a much brighter future if the Heat fail to cop the championship next year.
As a longtime Cleveland resident (53 years) I am interested in your thoughts about LeBron’s legacy with the Cavs. I never thought that Michael Jordan’s cast of teammates (exception â?? Scottie Pippen) were world beaters. Michael made the likes of Will Perdue, B.J. Armstong, Scott Williams â?? heck, even Steve Kerr â?? into world champion teammates. I have to think that Jordan could have willed the current cast of Cavaliers to a championship by the sheer force of his leadership and play alone. Your thoughts? â?? Steven Pap, Cleveland
MJ certainly wouldnâ??t have dilly-dallied through Games 5 and 6 of the Boston series as LeBron did. Instead, Jordan would have played with fire in his eyes. As I wrote at the time, James played as though his bags were already packed. What was most telling about LBJâ??s shameful performance was how he reacted when his last game with Cleveland was terminated: smiling and buoyant as he glad-handed the victorious Celtics.
In other words, LeBron had other things on his mind than winning the series. Jordan, on the other hand, was always totally focused on winning.
For sure, Mike Brown shares some of the blame for LBJâ??s ultimate failures in Cleveland, just as Phil Jackson shares some of the credit for MJâ??s success in Chicago.
However, thereâ??s another crucial difference between MJ and LBJ: Once Jordan respected his teammates’ effort, he was able to play to their specific strengths when necessary. But, no matter with whom he happened to share court time, LeBron always played his own game.
Despite their obvious flaws, had MJ theoretically been given the company of Shaq (even in his dotage), Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison, Anthony Parker and Anderson Varejao, his own supreme talents, focus, demand for excellence and contagious intensity would indeed have compelled the Cavs to at least one championship.
Heat-Lakers would be fascinating Finals

This Monster Was Created A Long Time Ago
AKRON – Dear LeBron:
First things first. Why couldn’t you have killed the Celtics the way you killed Northeast Ohioans Thursday night?
…
It wasn’t bad enough that your mom was running on to the floor at games or taunting opposing fans with a cardboard cutout of your face; it’s that of all the agents and runners and “somebodies” that came around and got her attention, none of them ever presented a thought or a plan that included consequences. At one game, former Cavaliers forward Darius Miles showed up in the front row…wearing a Darius Miles jersey. He was a total clown.
Who knew nine years later you’d be out-clowning him, on a much bigger stage, with an ESPN special known as “The Decision.” It was a show and concept that looked like it was put together by a guy who took a semester’s worth of marketing classes at the University of Akron before he was hired away by Nike, given the job of telling you how great you are so you’d eventually sign with Nike.
…
Your permanent file surely includes moments of greatness, basketball moves that most couldn’t dream of pulling off, but it also includes empty promises – “I won’t go ring-chasing” is what you said in 2006 – and your last home game ever as a Cavalier, Game Five vs. Boston.
That’s an incomplete at best, LeBron. A rough teacher would give you an F.
And here we thought you were on the honor roll.
LeBron’s chasing celebrity, not titles
â??I wanted to do what was best for LeBron James,â?? King James told Wilbon. â??What LeBron James was going to do to make him happy.â??
Yep, his most memorable speaking line from LeDecision was delivered in third person. Heâ??s a joke, and only the insanely dishonest will defend his performance and the decision to host LeBron-apalooza.
RIP Lorenzen Wright.
