The Playoffs Intensify My Lakers Hatred

June 4, 2002

It's official?I hate the Lakers. This year's playoffs have hardened my hatred for the team that donned the last two championship rings, and with the win on Sunday, will probably complete a three peat.

Editor: If you want to limit handguns on Utah college campuses, you need to act now. This may be the last chance. On June 1, the deadline for Utah's "Safe to Learn, Safe to Worship" citizen's initiative petition will expire.
