You've got to be a Lakers fan growing up in L.A. with all these championships.

Akeem Ayers

Growing up in California, I was always a Lakers fan.

Robin Lopez

The Lakers are really the biggest team in the world. Everybody knows the Lakers.

Vlade Divac

I can't root for the Lakers. I grew up in northern California, so I spent many of my young adult years rooting against the Lakers.

Timothy Olyphant

I can't say that I grew up saying, 'Someday I want to be vice president of the Lakers,' because that's not how it happened. I work for our family business, and that happens to be the Lakers.

Jeanie Buss

When I grew up it was Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls, the Lakers, the Boston Celtics, those were the teams you loved or hated and me being from San Diego, you loved the Lakers.

Jared Dudley

I know the Lakers are gonna make decisions for the Lakers.

Nick Young

I grew up in L.A., so I'm a huge Lakers fan and Kobe fan.

Malcolm David Kelley

I just enjoy going to the games, but if you're watching the Lakers play, it feels good to be rooting for the Lakers. You're on the winning end of things most of the time.

Diane Lane

I grew up a Lakers and a Clippers fan.

Paul George

I think that a lot of times we get wrapped up in just our career - we play ball, we make good money. As a kid you probably grew up a Lakers fan, a Clippers fan or whatever it is because sports is just a thing when you're a child. But, when you really look at the overall picture, we have a platform and a voice.

LeSean McCoy

When I got traded to the Lakers in '97, Kobe Bryant was just a rookie.

Robert Horry

What I made clear to our front office is we're going to be judged by wins and losses. It isn't about having a marquee star player and coming in last place. That's not what Lakers basketball is. Lakers basketball is winning basketball.

Jeanie Buss

I never was able to be a Lakers fan - I'm more of a Spurs fan.
