Lakers crowd comes to Wizards game
There are a lot of empty seats at Wizards games lately. When a team like the Celtics or Lakers comes to town, those empty seats get filled by people wearing the wrong colors. That's a fact of life for a losing team in Washington -- go watch the Nats play the Red Sox or the Cubs or any number of teams. media noticed. folks -- the Bullets' marketing of out-of-town stars,[url=http://rogervivierheelssale.webstarts.com/][b]http://rogervivierheelssale.webstarts.com/[/b][/url], the situation at FedEx Field, the Caps' not-so-distant history,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]duvetica jackets shop[/b][/url], Stan Kasten's open invitation to Phillies fans. There's a shame thing, which the out-of-towners might not immediately recognize.
As the Bullets struggled year after year, excitement associated with the team was close to nil. So O'Malley set about "forcing sellouts," as she puts it. She scrapped a plan that allowed partial season ticket holders to pick any 10 games they wanted. Instead,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Men Store[/b][/url], she picked the games for them, a move that immediately ensured a sizable base of fans for at least a quarter of the home games. She made sure there was a halftime show every night and loud pop music at breaks in the action. She developed a half-hour TV show about the team. And while she found it hard to sell the Bullets themselves,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Damen Parka[/b][/url], O'Malley sold the NBA. Come see Magic Johnson! Come see Michael Jordan! Come see Larry Bird! The strategy worked so well that at some games, it seemed, there were more Lakers or Bulls or Celtics fans in the arena than Bullets fans -- a fact that annoyed an otherwise-pleased Pollin and later amazed Chris Webber after he was traded to the team.
So with that backdrop, this is what we heard from the local media about Tuesday night's game.
Wilbon: "Half of the 20,[url=http://billigmonclerjackenkaufen.olimx.com/][b]Moncler Jacke[/b][/url],173 in attendance at Verizon Center seemed to be cheering for the Lakers. Nearly one-quarter seemed to be wearing Kobe jerseys. "I'm sure they thought that they were playing at home,[url=http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/][b]http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/[/b][/url], as loud as it was sometimes," Wizards Coach Flip Saunders said. This, sadly, is again the state of pro basketball in Washington."
It may have been Wizards scarf night but the Verizon Center was a sea of purple and gold. When asked if he had ever received that much love in an opposing arena Bryant responded,[url=http://duveticaitaliaoutlet.webmium.com/][b]duvetica online store[/b][/url], 'Not to toot my own horn or anything,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakerssale.olimx.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers sale[/b][/url], but yeah. Beep Beep.'
Michael Lee: Bryant, who has been slumping of late while playing with a broken right index finger, excited an incredibly pro-Lakers crowd with every made basket. He also heard chants of "MVP! MVP!" nearly every time he stepped to the foul line.
John Mitchell: With all the purple and gold in the Verizon Center, the Wizards probably at times felt as if they were the road team. Whenever a Laker sailed unmolested to the basket, thousands in the crowd cheered robustly. When Kobe Bryant made trips to the free-throw line, he was greeted with chants of MVP. And on one occasion,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets[/b][/url], when Butler fouled Bryant, the fans actually booed Butler.
"I'm not going to let him dunk," Butler said. "I heard the crowd already in anticipation for the dunk. He's a superstar, a super duper star. When a guy like that comes to an arena, people are going to get excited. You only get a chance to see him once a year and you want to see him do something special, even if it's against your home team. I wasn't going to let him get that dunk. soccer vs. Times: Bryant flung his shoes into the crowd after the game, a rare show of emotion that caused a shower of beer as fans scrambled to get them.
Because nobody here cares about Washington sports. For all the hype around the Redskins,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica UK[/b][/url], it seems that there are always three "neutral" games a season (I don't need to tell you which three).
