The Lakers of today and yesteryear

In light of the Lakers blowing another fourth quarter lead against the Cavs Thursday night, I have a few fun youtube videos of the Lakers in their prime. It's behind the scenes footage. By the way, here's what Derek Fisher had to say about the Lakers loss:

"We've lost 10 games (this season) and just by my guess, I'd say six have gone the way this one went. We've had leads and didn't finish the third quarter properly or made mistakes in the fourth quarter. "You can't do that in this league. No lead is safe. Teams are too good."

And that's the kind of insight that makes Derek Fisher my favorite Laker, with Ronny coming in at a close second.

Now to the videos:

Must watch Shaq song about Vlade and the Kings

Now you know why Shaq and Kobe hated each other

Everyone has tivo by now, stop showing games on tape delay. This is ridiculous.
