I kinda used 2 feel like that Krazee, but speakin on my turf like that? Fuck him. I wuz dyin' when the announcer said that every1 in tha Bay wants Barkley dead. I'm gonna go 2 tha next home game with a Basketball with his face on it and get tha cameras attention and pop that shit and show him wuts gonna happen when he come out here
It's true though. Everybody wants to imitate LA. They (Los Angelinos) are the pioneers, the trendsetters, the innovators and the ones who project the "glamorous life" that everyone wants to live or at least be associated with.
I gotta give it up to Laker fans for not going ridiculously overboard with the team pride shit and sportin' t-shirts that match the color of their home team's uniform. That just goes to show that, one, the Lakers are accustomed to winning and making the playoffs isn't that big of a deal and two, the city doesn't revolve around a sports team. There's so much going on in LA that a sporting event doesn't garner the same attention/importance as it would in a city that is deprived of activity.

Charles Barkley has always been one of my favorite basketball players....I used to sport a Suns jersey back in the day and everything....then he becomes an anouncer and quickly becomes one of the best sports personalities on TV. Inside the NBA never has not made me laugh.....then this shit?!?!?!?!? I actually didn't catch the pregame and I wasn't paying attention to the halftime show, but after the game he starts bad mouthing the bay and I"m like "awww, chuck".....talkin bout he'd rather stay in alcatraz then anywhere in the bay....at least he gave equal hate to both frisco & oakland.....but then I figured he's just playing the 'disgruntled mavs fan' role when I hear the muthafucka from alabama say the bay area was a hick town!!!!!!!!!
I was trying to find quote from last night so I tried to do a search and found this:
Quotes of the Day: Charles Barkley Edition
The arduous NBA season, which every year seems to interest me less and less, at least gives way to the playoffs come April, which means I watch a little bit of it, and, more important, get to be entertained by TNT's coverage of the event. Most of my joy is directly attributable to one Charles Barkley, who's so brash, so quick-witted, so genuinely himself all the time, he might be without peer in the pre-packaged, market-tested world of television. This week Barkley decided to direct his big and unforgiving mouth on the Golden State Warriors, their fans, the city of Oakland, and all of Northern California--just for his own amusement.
When Golden State beat the heavily favored Dallas Mavericks in the first game, Barkley announced that Dallas would win the next four. Golden State, however, has gone on to an astonishing 3-1 lead in the best of seven series, and are on the verge of eliminating the top-seeded Mavericks. When confronted with the fact of his foot in his mouth, Barkley didn't back down, adding fuel to the fire by saying, "The long national nightmare continues." When the jumbotron in Oakland showed the Warriors' mascot hitting Barkeley with a pie in the face, he responded, "I'd rather live in Alcatraz than San Francisco or Oakland." When TNT put up a fake, presidential-style, state-by-state infographic poll of public opinion on him, coloring the map with a sea of red, anti-Barkeley sentiment, he shrugged and said, "Those people are Republicans. They screwed up the whole country" --which is interesting also because of his former political affiliations.
The only point of this post is that the man is a treasure trove and is maybe the most charismatic figure in American sports and needs to be given a more prominent platform. Here are some favorite Barkley quotes:

- We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
- My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them, 'Hey, I'm rich.'
- I love Sam Cassell. He's a great guy...but he does look like E.T.
- They say it about brothers, but I can guarantee everybody in Finland look alike.
- Jerry Krause must have pictures of his boss' wife having sex with a monkey [on Jerry Krause staying on as General Manager of the Bulls after some disastrous personnel decisions].
- All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine [on his academic achievements in college].
- I’m bilingual. I speak profanity and English.
- I don’t listen to the refs. I don’t listen to anyone who makes less money than I do.
I dont think Charles really hates the Bay...SF/OAK or anytihng. This dude is so concerned with sounding like he out on a limb that he ends up saying some dumb shit sometimes. And this foo didnt wanna admit he was wrong so he had to resort to this...basically hes forced to say that.
With that being sad, hes still a bitch for talkin shit bout the whole region and saying some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
"They just mad because they in Golden State and not in L.A."
hes jus something to laught at...
