You do realize that the Rams have 5 primetime games don't you? Think baby steps. Remember, it's all about Bob.I bet they'll be talking Lakers news 24/7, even if we're in the Super Bowl in 2018.![]()

I am talking about the Rams flagship sports station on radio, ESPNLA, who have been basically talking the same NBA jibber-jabber since they became the Rams home station. The first training camp in LA they ignored camp WHILE THERE in person, and talked the Lakers. The Lakers still sucked last year, but they seemed to get on the Rams bandwagon when it appeared the team was headed for the playoffs. With King LeBron in town, we won’t hear much Rams talk until the NFC Championship Game.You do realize that the Rams have 5 primetime games don't you? Think baby steps.

Which made them the best team in the East and the East champion.

TuneIn is your friend (radio app). I live in a town with 588 people counting chickens and dogs in Kansas..and the Rams were in LA 10 years or so before the Lakers left Minneapolis as far as who established what, first.I really am trying to feel sorry for all of you while I'm here in Podunk Idaho in amongst all these potatoes and potato heads where we don't have any sports radio what so ever. Yep I'm so broken hearted over this.
All kidding aside, maybe it will take a little more time to establish themselves like the Lakers who are very well established. Keep the faith my Ram brethren.

Probably closer to 20 years I think without looking.......but the Lakers have been NBA royalty and the Rams have been mostly down other than a couple of good runs.
Winning is what makes a team part of the cities fabric.
Rams in 1951First Pro team in LA to win a Championship in LA? Too bad DaveFan51 is gone, he'd know this..
Yep....the fabric of the city to the Rams was knit in 1951, Les Baker....The Dons, Dodgers, Lakers, and Kings lagged behind the Rams. The team was a good one for much more than just that year in the 1950's. Now those teams ended up winning more Championships, but the Rams were the first..Rams in 1951

I love the guy, trust me the Showtime Lakers were the best basketball team I have ever seen and they were great to a fan like me watching from the other side of the country.
Good point about Shaw and JZ for sure.
I hope Magic can fix the Lakers..........IMO they, not the Celtics, are the most storied franchise in the NBA. Maybe the most successful in all of sports as far as post seasons.
I watch zero baseball, sometimes less than that. So I can't answer.

My point was ownership. Jeanie is taking over for her dad. Her dad really was one of the best owners ever.

Did you see how they played in November - early January? They had lost a ton of games , the team was falling apart, and there was a chance they could've been a .500 team at one point. And that was WITH LeOverrated. They made a bunch of trades and moves to fix their ship.
lol...I don't envy you, bro....Cleveland LeBron fans have now shed the responsibility of defending King LeBron's greatness, vs the reality of Michael Jordan.....(couldn't resist,lol!)LOL @overrated........he's in the conversation for greatest ever you know. It's fine that you don't like him, just say that.
That trade didn't do much to fix the team IMO. My friends back home that follow the Cavs were underwhelmed by the deals they made for the most part.
The record was 31-22 before and 18-10 after. Those are winning %'s of about 64% and 59% so fairly close..........and the Pacers and Celtics took them to 7 games and the Celtics did it without 2 starters.......and it took 2 amazing performances by James to win those last two versus Boston.

The Cavaliers were struggling last winter. If they weren't, why did they make a slew of moves to "fix" the issues? Whether the internet was "impressed" or not is irrelevant to me. Whatever the team did seemed to right the ship.
No one will ever surpass His Royal Airness. Or Kobe for that matter. Or Tim Duncan. Or Kareem. I'm not even going to argue stats or whatever. LeOverrated doesn't hold a candle to these guys.
I'm agreeing with you that they were first..........but the Lakers are first in the market now, meaning most liked. They have provided that town with playoffs, titles, hall of famers and loads of great entertainment.
The Rams can get there and join the party, but they will have to have success in order to do it.
He was one of the top in any sport I would say, and was loved and respected by pretty much everyone involved with him. If there was ever a lead dog in NBA ownership it was him.
I know Magic always speaks highly of people and rarely ever has a bad word but when you listen to him talk about Dr. Buss that says all you need to know.
I hope he has success as the GM, and I hope Jeanie lets him do his job and doesn't meddle. So far she seems to understand that he should be left to his own devices without her overseeing much. I'm sure she has a "check with me" rule for some things but Magic is a brialliant dude he can handle that crap.
Did you know she posed for Playboy sometime in the 90's.
