How embarassing.
Triplet lives in a fantasy that the Lakers are a special case in that they don't receive a penny of government largesse. He's wrong. They're as much on the teet as aony other team. See discussion above. The essential point is that pub lic money subsidizes NBA salaries. NBA owners, coaches and players are on the public dole. The NBA is a huge taxpayer funded. boondoggle for the vey rich and all Americans and American cities should tell the NBA to fuck off.
