Okay JoMal. Here it is.
First of all, the whole united Californians thing is kind of funny when all those Smog Sniffers have berated your beloved Sacramento as a backwoods Cowtown for years.
Second, we Jazz fans need someone with the wisdom and experience to guide us into the exciting years to come. Everything about the Spurs is old and boring. They've had their time, won their titles. It's time for a new age, and despite the railings of other posters, your skills are too honed to waste them on a rapidly dulling knife like the Spurs.
Third can you really, truly cheer for the Lakers? Sure the Jazz play tough on the court, but they are a group of clean cut, law abiding men off the court. The odds of being forced to cheer for a guy who bends unwilling girls over a chair are not high. Remember, the Death Star was deemed invincible because of its huge size (market), the leadership of Governor Tarkin (Phildo), the skills of Darth Vader (Kobe), and the all-controlling menace of the Emperor (David F. Stern). Even with all of this power, a band of courageous, scrappy rebels led by a short guy with a baby face (DWill) was able to find a weakness and use it to destroy the behemoth.
You don't want to be just another drone of an evil empire, or another wasted talent cheering a team from a South Texan Retirement Home. You want to be part of the future, and the future needs you JoMal. All we've got in the way of "experience" is Joe, and he barely comes around anymore. The rest of youngsters need a guiding hand. Don't weild a butter knife, wield a newly forged blade made of pure, strong, athletic steel. Join the Jazz.
