Jazz fans are horrible people

Not horrible fans, mind you, but horrible people. Seriously, how do they justify booing Derek Fisher mercilessly when he rolls into town with the Lakers? He's a class act who gave you everything, Utah, and he didn't leave for money or the chance to be reunited with Kobe and Phil Jackson. No, he left because his daughter has CANCER OF THE FREAKING EYE and she needed proper doctors and facilities to help treat her condition. So because Salt Lake doesn't offer that and Los Angeles does, all of a sudden Fisher is a monster? FUCK YOU! For the longest time, you've held the mantle of most classless fans in the league and you've done nothing to deter that notion, especially lately. Nevermind the racial bias, nevermind Larry Miller, nevermind championing a creton like Karl Malone, it's all about the pure ignorance that comes with living in the state of Utah and sticking to your guns of not being an NBA fan, but being a Jazz fan and only a Jazz fan.

Miserable, miserable people. Lakers are winning this series in six games and D-Fish will be dropping 20 in Salt Lake when they clinch it. Pathetic people.


Shifting gears (and a couple days late, I realize, but I work my balls off so save it), Kobe finally got his MVP. The best player in the league having the best season of his career... Makes it hard for even the staunchest Chris Paul supporter to argue. And I love Chris Paul. No doubt, Kobe was the clear choice, this season and, finally, we can erase the memory that Dirk Nowitzki of all people won last year's award. *shudder*

But here's where the voting process has flaws: LeBron James received a first-place vote in the balloting. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHY? That smacks of a voter who is on crack or simply doesn't care that LeBron did little to elevate his crap team in a crap conference. If LeBron was deserving of a first-place vote, this year, then Kobe should have three MVPs already. And we all know that shouldn't be the case. Inexcusable. Realizing that the post-season has nothing to do with regular season voting, how about those first two LeBron performances against Boston, huh? Wow! Just miserable (but not as miserable as Jazz fans)!

Another thing I don't understand: How Kobe was the only member of the All-NBA 1st Team (Kobe, CP3, KG, Dwight Howard, LeBron) to be unanimously voted to the team. It's clear that these five were an unquestionable cut above the rest of the league. There were no other candidates for 1st Team, as far as I'm concerned. And for what it's worth, I say Deron Williams should've been 2nd team ahead of Steve Nash.
