Bobert - I wasn't commenting on you. They may have indeed won enough. The faceless, nameless GUEST's comment is what casued me to post.

I grew up with season tickets to the Lakers in the day of Wilt and Kareem, so I understand about winning often. Of course comparing them, like GUEST did, to the Yankees is hardly fair. In 98 years of the
World Series, the Yankees won 38 times (39% of the time). In the 53 years of the NBA finals, the Lakes won it 14 times (5 times from Minneapolis) or 26% of the time and guess what, the Celtics have won it 2 times more. Also, since the Lakers moved to L.A., 12 teams have won the championship, many of them multiple times, hardly has the Lakers dominated the way the Yankees (who, by the way, are the woldseries winner 49% of the time since 1923 when they won their first one).

In today's salary-capped NBA, it's the owners who should be blamed for having year after year of losing.
