My auntie won ESPN Radio's poetry competition with her awesome poem about the Lakers. Decorum and Forum fo' sho.
She won 3/5 votes, but the last two didn't matter so she won 3/3!!! YAY!!!!!!
MY LAKERS by Lil K.
My Laker memories started when I was a kid
Watching games with Dad as I often did
While the Lakers played at the Great Western Forum
The Logo, Jerry West, leading with decorum
Listening and learning with Chick and Stu,
Chickisms giving a bird’s eye view
Later led by Cap, Magic, Worthy, and Mychal swooshing hoops,
With Rambis, A.C. Green, B-Scott and tenacious D Coop
Welcome Showtime, thanks to Dr. Buss
Watching the Lakers became a must
Happy memories watching them in Boston Garden
The Lakers win, leaving them downtrodden
With Kobe, Shaq, D-Fish, and Horry
Showtime returns, in all of its glory
Back to back to back, Threepeat!
The parade and Madsen dancing were a memorable treat
Phil Jackson reigns, 10 times a winner
Wish he could take Auerbach to dinner!
Celebrities courtside, day in and out
Hollywood insiders know what Showtime’s about
“MVP” chanting from the rafters
The L.A. fans can live happily ever after
Best in the west, year in and year out
The fans in the stands twist and shout
One thing you can be sure, they’ll give you a show
Showtime is back, this much I know.
Kobe, Lamar and team-One two three, Ring!
Can’t wait to chant it again this spring
It’s playoff time, Laker flags waving around and in bars
Except not to be found on Mychal Thompson’s maroon car
How do I love you, Lakers, let me count the ways
Oh, innumerable they are, ... those Purple Knights, ...Purple Days!
