See the thing is with the Dodgers, they aren't the Yankees.
Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees, Yankees.
Yankees!
As a foreign-born Yankee fan, I personally guarantee you
the Yankees baseball team has the most presence worldwide. I am a living case in point, to the point the rest of the world have heard of the Yankees, even before arriving here...in America.
Even Cuba and the Philippines, both former American colonies, have already heard of the Yankees, before World War II.
The Harbin episode of
No Reservations featured a place called that houses Yankee memorabilia.
I hope the Lakers suck for as many years possible. It's nice knowing the Kings are better than them and will be for several years.
May we keep that "NBA vs NHL" drivel as an exclusive package to East Coast Bias? I keep on hearing that a lot, especially in American Original Six markets.
To be frank with you, while I stand behind both the Kings and the Lakers, I have already accepted both teams possess their own respective roles in the LA Sports Market.
Lakers:
--Overtake the Celtics on NBA title counts
--Overtake the Knicks as the most financially valuable NBA franchise
--Carry the NBA worldwide
Kings:
--Legitimize and then carry West Coast Hockey (LA is the largest non-traditional hockey market by the way, and I am speaking of the market's population)
--Become a benchmark team
--Undo the damages of being "out of sight, out of mind" that plagued and still plagues the franchise for most of its history (The KABC 790 radio deal is a great move by the franchise to mitigate that)
