6 Reasons The Clippers Will Be Better Than The Lakers This Year (And 3 Reasons They Won't)

Why The Lakers Will Still Be Better #2: Jack

We'll never know for sure how much of the Lakers' success was due to their star cheerleader/Patron Saint, but I know if he were my biggest fan, I'd never want to let him down. And he's still alive, although to be fair I haven't checked on that in a couple of hours. Therefore, the only way the Clippers can hope to compete is to find a legendary celebrity wealthy enough to afford courtside season tickets, and motivated enough to attend every game and go squirrel-shit crazy like Jack Nicholson does on the regular. A real celebrity, too: rich as she may be, there's only one way Petra Ecclestone is motivating those guys, and I don't think her gross, weird husband would approve. My choices? Someone with experience acting like a lunatic, like Nicolas Cage (though he might need financial help with the seats) or Gary Busey. And Will Smith, et al: no jumping ship if the Clippers do turn out to be better. Have some pride. [photo via]
