I'll be back to laugh my ass off when the Lakers 4-Peat.

Won't the Fakers have to first make the playoffs in order for that to happen? :D

The Lakers and Knicks both suck nowadays. ...A far cry from their legendary teams from the early 70's. I had Lakers season seats from '70 - '75, and their epic battles with the Knicks (both during the regular season and in the NBA championships) were probably the best basketball I've ever seen to this day ....and that includes the Celtic-Laker (Bird-Magic) matchups of the 80's. The Knicks starting 6 from that era are ALL in the Hall of Fame -- Frazier, Monroe, Bradley, Debuschere, Lucas, and Reed. No other team in NBA history can boast the same. The Lakers weren't bad either -- West, Goodrich, McMillan, Baylor, Hairston, Chamberlain (4 out of 6 in the HOF). The Knicks won rings in '70 & '73, and the Lakers got one in '72 (the year they went on to set a record for most consecutive wins by a professional sports franchise, 33. ...A record, incidentally, that still stands).
