The Lakers and Their Mascot-Sized Hole
Who Needs a Mascot When You've Got LeBron?
So, you wanna know about the Lakers' mascot, huh? Well, I've got some shocking news for you. There isn't one. That's right, folks, the team with more championships than most people have pairs of socks doesn’t have a furry, feathery, or scaly friend to cheer on the crowd.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
Now, you might be thinking, "What kind of basketball team doesn't have a mascot?" And honestly, it's a fair question. I mean, the Clippers have Clipper the Dog, the Warriors have... well, they have a weird history with mascots, but let's not go there. But the Lakers? Nada, zip, zero.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
What is The Mascot Of The Los Angeles Lakers |
Theories Abound
There are countless theories as to why the Lakers have never felt the need for a mascot. Some say it's because they're too cool for school. Others believe it's a deep-rooted conspiracy to protect the world from the mascot's overwhelming awesomeness. Personally, I'm leaning towards the "they're just too busy winning championships" theory.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
Mascot Ideas (Because Someone Has To)
Since we're on the topic, let's brainstorm some potential Lakers mascots. How about a giant, purple and gold basketball named "Bounce"? Or maybe a mythical creature called the "Lake Monster"? Or we could go completely off the wall and have a mascot that's just a cardboard cutout of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The possibilities are endless!
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
But seriously, folks, the Lakers don't need a mascot. They've got Kobe Bryant highlights, Magic Johnson's smile, and LeBron James' dunks. That's enough entertainment for anyone.
