The Lakers Championship Parade Won’t Be Fun
Derek Fisher’s vision of a championship parade in which drunken Lakers fans are politely shaking hands and kissing babies could very well become a reality this afternoon. The partially private funded parade kicks off at 11 AM (1 PM, EST), where everyone must be on their best behavior, or else.
“If you throw something at the parade, you will go to jail,” said LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith. “If you set light to something, you will go to jail. If you break anything, you will go to jail.”
Smiling and nodding, only.
The city is trying to facilitate the flow of traffic to the parade. But in a place that is notorious for having the worst traffic on the planet, these helpful warnings just sound comical.
“The MTA says bus service will be affected by the celebration. Expect delays on the following MTA routes: 28, 30, 31, 35, 37, 38, 40, 42, 55, 70, 71, 76, 78, 79, 81, 102, 200, 204, 335, 355, 378, 439, 442, 444, 445, 446, 447, 450x, 460, 484, 485, 550, 714, 728, 730, 740, 754 and 770.”
So don’t misbehave. And don’t take the bus.

LAPD is a joke, giving out warnings? Why do laker fans feel the need to do hoodrat things with their friends on a so-called joyous occasion?

Good message. The bit about playing with class made me chuckle, though: Fisher seems to have forgotten his incident with Luis Scola.

Hahahaha.. Best Moment of the Parade
When the players where headed on the bus.. the commentators on TV usually stop their conversation and acknowledge the player about to go on the bus…. Like… And there Is Trevor Ariza.. he played great in the Finals and a real important part to our success.
When Adam Morrison went on the bus… hahaha no one even acknowledged him.. they continued their conversation as if.. he wasn’t even a player..
Hahaha.. Priceless.. No Love!.. even thou Kid didnt play a game, he’s still apart of the team.

Are they really playing “Womanizer” by Britney Spears for a rally around the lakers and Kobe in particular?

@ DK – Fuck you dude. You’re team ain’t shit. I’m an Orlando fan, but still, all you Laker fans need to SHUT THE FUCK UP until you break the record of 17 Franchise Titles held by Boston. I’m not a fan of them either, but that’s a franchise that has class. FUCK those pretentious LA Fucks.

@ qq When a dumb mountain bitch yells rape every one knows you either are rich or she cant get the dick again and cant bear being any worse of a ho then she already is. Same law applies in Ga, Al etc.

Oh and Boston ain’t shit either. Nobody gonna be fuckin with the Magic the next 5 years in the EAST. It’s all bout Superman and O-Town. But my point was that LA ain’t Class. LA = TRASH.

@qq Bostons chips dont count really. That run with Bill Russell is BS! Every one knows that. Send your boyfriend some flowers.

Kobe is a classless fuck. They say the qualities of an organization trickle down, and from the Top, Mitch, Magic (I FUCK 80 Ho’s while being married and now have HIV) Johnson, to Phil (I’ma use my ZEN bullshit to pimp Mitch’s Daughter who’s a third of my age) Jackson, to Kobe (I’ma RAPE This BITCH) Bryant, THE LAKERS HAVE NO CLASS.
And you’re just a fucking pawn if you don’t see that.

@qq Well if Otown an survive a retooled Cleavland or a healthy Boston, God bless them. Ill be pulling for the O to win a third game if they can get to the Lakers again, good luck and prayers u need em

You sound like a salty ass little bitch. Don’t be salty that the C’s hold the record for most titles. Respect your elders, and realize that the C’s have far more history and Class than the LA Fakers will ever have.

Denver and Portland will be running the West soon. So enjoy it while it lasts. I’ll bet my right nut the FAKERS won’t win next year. Between Andrew (I Broke my leg) Bynum, and Lamar (I used to play for the lakers) Odom, and Trevor (The Lakers just severly overpaid me) Ariza, and Sasha (I suck more or at a minimum, as much COCK as DK) Vujajic, the FAKERS are DONE.
Denver and the Blazers will run them!
Mark my words Homie!

So when Fisher was saying that when they put on the Lakers jersey that they represent L.A, does that include his cheapshot on Scola in the playoffs?

@22 Stuart, Fl When you get here ask anyone for dk at a place of business, bar, gym, basketball court, Im not hard to find and my town isnt that big were I live now. Everyone knows me, or heard of me. I most likely will be raping a bitch though,playing ball or getting wasted, so you have a 33% chance of catching me off guard, good luck and may all the force be with you, you will need it.

Man I went to the parade and as much as i dislike the police I have to say they were not playing around. After that riot they weren’t taking any nonsense. Had everybody on there best behavior. The swat team was out there and everything. Other than that it was great. I drove out there and as soon as I got out the car I could just feel the energy. Everyone was so much more excited compared to the last championship.
NEW LAKERS DYNASTY!!!!!!!

Dear DIME,
Do something to moderate these boards. I have a feeling people will start to lose love if this is what the comments section is going to turn to.
