Laker Troll

Ignorant so called "sports-fans" who have nothing better to do than to go around commenting negatively on Laker related stories, hoping to entice someone into an argument that is senseless and baseless. This is a mutation of the life-form known as Laker Hater, and as such share character traits. The fact that they have time to do this indicates that either they have no life or their team of choice isn't worth writing about or spending time on. Hating and Trolling stem from feelings of inadequacy due to their team of choice LACKING in either: 1) Championship Banners and Rings, 2) Team Notoriety, 3) News media coverage, 4) Legendary Players, 5) NBA records, or all 5 of them. The recommended way to handle the Laker Troll is either to ignore them, or to point out factual falsities in their post without ranting. The reason for this is not to give them what they want (attention and for said Laker fan to waste their time). Laker Trolls are known to exist exclusively in comments of online sports articles. It is predicted that as the number of Laker Championship banners increases, the number of Laker Trolls in the US will jump exponentially. One of the most well known weaknesses of this mutation is the paralyzing effect that Kobe adding more jewelry (rings) has on them. Each time The Mamba adds a ring, the Laker Troll's are silenced and go into hiding for 3-10 months.
