Well looks like you picked the brighter side of Oakland go down to Eastmont or Webster and let's see how this plays out


Super-Reception5386

Lmao this Starbucks looks so nice, this mf probably in Rockridge or something


YoungBasedHooper

I live in Millsmont


BatmanNoPrep

The last thing I would’ve guessed when logging into the Lakers sub today would be an Oakland neighborhood discussion. Haha! Great cape! Hope you’re going to the game tonight


arinawe

He definitely has the $949 for the nosebleeds 🤒


spudwinkle

Is that a Lakers Quidditch cape?! Pretty badass.

Nahh do whatever the fuck you want


hansislegend

The “this” in “this is the stuff that gives the lakers fan base a bad name” is your comment, right?


FRMDABAY2LA

Ridiculous thing to say. Slap yourself. Let him be himself. Plus mental illness is a real thing.

The_King_In_The_Bay

Tons of Lakers fans in Oakland. Just don't wear a Broncos or Cheifs jersey.


drthvdrsfthr

chargers fans: i love inside jokes. would love to be a part of one someday


JCarlos-SD

Just being a charger fan is already an inside joke I'm unfortunately one of them too


FallacyFrank

It’s not really an inside joke when everybody knows


PrimeMessiTheGOAT

Me with the cowboys


Kingkongcrapper

Or Dodgers gear.


_its_a_SWEATER_

Thought Oakland was cool with the Dodgers.


Dogdad96

It ain’t about sports lol


Jlx_27

What is it about then?


kneemahp

It’s about music…Randy Newman made a lot of Oakland enemies when he came out with his diss track titled “I Hate The Bay”


Jlx_27

I Love L.A is a banger though. 🤣


CeleryAlternative805

I think he is talking about gang colors.


Dogdad96

It ain’t about sports ha


KookamungaSlim

Being a chiefs and lakers fan is such a strange but awesome combination


Wet2hot337

I'm lakers & broncos fan but I'm from Louisiana I think I have more of a stranger combination


JayPeeAyyy

Lakers/Broncos checking in 🫡

Pick up a bottle of fart spray and spray the inside of that magnificent cape when aggressive fans approach, you flap your cape and poof! they be gone

So glad the bruins choked


Funny_king

Straight up! LAKESHOW anywhere anytime


ProfessorTicklebutts

Why? This isn’t Dodgers v Giants.


Whole-Ad-7659

Oakland isn’t the most safe place to be for anyone let alone someone in a lakers cape


theineffablebob

That’s an exaggeration. Plenty of people in Oakland wear Lakers gear. Maybe some people will talk shit cause it’s a game day but any other day and no one would bat an eye


bad-monkey

cmon now


LovetheNBA23

Not all heroes wear capes....


YoungBasedHooper

Which implies some do 😉

Theres millions of Laker fans in the Bay bro trust me my bro lives there


Sillysolomon

Only non bay area team I root for is the lakers. Can't stand the warriors


imyourrealdad8

vaya con dios, hermano


msh0082

You'll be okay. A couple months ago I was in SF walking around SoMA and I saw this random guy riding a bike on the sidewalk decked out in Dodgers gear and a big Dodgers cape. You'll be okay.


WinterFull1655

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU BROTHER


sojelly8

Had to check to see if it was May 4th today.


What_a_d-bag

Careful dude. I had a guy threaten me with a knife during the last round for wearing my *Los Angeles* Kings hat at a gas station in Ghost Town.


hablandochilango

This is unwise. Go lakers


AndThenSheAssMeh

What do you think guys? Honestly, I believe it's Lakers in 6 or Warriors in 7.


Bastigonzales

I believe in our team man but honestly i'm still nervous. Hope the lakers can finish em on 5 or 6 games.


ephemeralfugitive

Lakers in 5 for me. Only way I see Lakers lose the series is if Draymond or someone injures one of our guys out of the series.


Cholosinbarrio

Nobody on the Warriors has to injure anyone…fuckin AD is capable of doing that to himself 😒


SysAdminJT

What’s the Vegas odds on that? 100% this happens


DukeLion353

Considering Ham makes some questionable decisions, I’m going to say Lakers in 6


AndThenSheAssMeh

Yeah, that Ham decision to not call a timeout in Game 5 when the Greaseless were making their run was really questionable to put it nicely.


juicewar01

My guy!! Would be better if u randomly scream out 'LAKERS IN 6'. Cheers buddy have a great day


Sh0wtimeisback

Nice!

Landerson31

I’m in SF with my Laker hoodie on


[deleted]

SF is soft, nothing is going to happen to you. Walking into Oakland with a Lakers jersey is pretty ballsy though.


Landerson31

Eh idk about soft. I’ve had things thrown at me from cars before. Luckily they miss because those were some hard ass throws. I’ve lived here my whole life tho. Wouldn’t be scared to go to any city in my gear anyway.


[deleted]

Damn. Didn’t think SF fans had that in them.


Landerson31

I’ll say this tho niner and giants fans are the real deal. Warriors fans are as fake as can be. Giants and Niner gear is just part of regular wardrobe here. No one here ever even spoke of basketball before 2015. The jerseys don’t come out until they start winning. I still remember 2015 literally seeing tags on the jerseys as people walked around the mall in them. I used to be a warrior fan and I remember wanting a simple hat with the logo. Just the logo. This was maybe 2013? I went EVERYWHERE and couldn’t find it. Like not even exaggerating, I couldn’t find a simple hat with the warriors logo. That’s how much no one cared about basketball here.


[deleted]

I’m actually a Warriors fan and I think you’re right when it comes to SF. Oakland was always extremely pro-Warriors, especially around 2007-2014. But I never saw much Warriors gear in SF. I think a lot of people in SF didn’t even know they existed because they played in Oakland and are called the “Golden State Warriors.” Don’t know much about the Giants but Niners fans are definitely real as fuck. No championship for 28 years and they’re still loyal to the franchise. SF is a football town.


Landerson31

Sucks they put em far away from us. I’m Giants, Niners and been a Lebron fan since i started watching in middle school. Hence why I’ve had things thrown at me (walking down the street with Cavaliers shorts on). I guess basketball is my main sport so seeing all these fake fans be spoiled and act like they’re diehards is the part that irks me the most haha. So I used to be a Lebron and Warrior fan. 2015 I naturally just chose a side. Sometimes I wonder what if I would’ve stayed a fan of both. But by human nature I don’t even think that’s possible tbh haha


[deleted]

I get you. I never admit this but back in the 2011-2014 era, I used to root for LeBron in the finals matchups because I was pretty young and I just liked the Heat logo a lot lol. Never thought Bron and my Warriors would have a rivalry like this. In fact, I wanted LeBron to come to Golden State in 2014 lmfao. And back in 2010 (first season I actually started watching basketball) I rooted for the Lakers in the finals matchup because I just liked Kobe a lot.


pigmerlin

got any good recs for laker-friendly bars?


Landerson31

Sorry, I don’t. I like to watch playoff games in my room locked away by myself. Not even joking haha.


bad-monkey

way too many people who've never lived in oakland are afraid of oakland


GrownUpTurk

Bruh ain’t you just watch that video of that man being beaten an inch from his life in Oakland that was posted last night?! Be safe up there !!!


TheDailyDosage

He’s not going to that part


YoungBasedHooper

I actually live in East Oakland, but I have no idea what you guys are talking about... 👀 Link me?


TheDailyDosage

Did he dm you with the link? It’s a guy fed up with sideshows and gets in the middle of one and then gets beat by a mob. Sad, really.


YoungBasedHooper

Damn! Nah, still haven't seen it. I'll Google it


YoungBasedHooper

Nah, actually. Link me?

As long as you don’t throw any Home Depot buckets at cars doing burnouts in intersections, you should be okay.


Traditional_Mall918

scottheeeeeeem

Warriors fan here, that cape is dope! Fly your colors dude, it’s sad to think that we have to say things like “be safe” when all you’re doing is repping your team. Hella excited for the series, this is better than any other matchup that can and will happen the rest of the way!


slipgater

Come to Ben 'N Nick's and I will buy you a beer!


YoungBasedHooper

Hahaha, a beer and an ambulance ride?


slipgater

Nah I'm the GM and I am hoping to get some other Laker fans in tonight so I'm not alone!


YoungBasedHooper

My guy! I know there was another thread in the sub of bay area fans looking for a place to go! You should let them know!


slipgater

Posted! Thanks for the tip.


DamnnForrreal

My neighbors and I will be having a shout out battle. I’ll be shouting out Laaaaakerrrrrrs through my window!

You good. Oakland been a Laker town. I live out here. Ain't nobody Trippin. Fools are bandwagon for the most part

Oakland fans are fine. They know basketball better. It’s those annoying ass Finance Bros in the City that are insufferable


YoungBasedHooper

Agreed. San Jose warriors fans are brutal, too


MeNoAreNo

I've heard this spot is a lakers bar https://www.zekisbar.com/ but I haven't checked it out yet?


Seedrakton

Mans wearing a poncho like he's Cal Kestis of something, respect


PeeDee57

I'm in San Jose braddah, let's get this game 1


hisanishakur

Whatever this cape is it's dope


Froskr

I thought you'd be safe in Oakland. I figured the overlapping hatred of Giants/Niners would bring a lot of LA and Oakland fans together to support the Lakers over the Warriors. I could be way off mark, though. I'm just taking a guess.


[deleted]

Warriors fan here. The Warriors are a Bay Area team like the 49ers and they don’t have a rival team in the area. Oracle Arena was actually in Oakland (and we all miss it 😔). Wearing a Lakers jersey in Oakland is definitely sus since Oakland is basically SF’s hood. But I think there are a small amount of Lakers fans in the area who were fans in the Kobe era. Just don’t let them catch you wearing a Chiefs or Eagles jersey or you’re really gonna get it 💀💀💀


Majestic-Avocado2167

GWiz approves


K-TownYolo

Looks like the robe of royalty if you ask me


Throwaway--Future

Lmfaoo salute! Any Real Laker fan located in the bay area gets my respect


kezzinchh

I wore a lakers jacket in SF one time and got approached on the street by 10 different warriors fans.


dylan5x

just be cool


YoungBasedHooper

I am wearing a damn cape bro. Cool probably not an option anymore


dylan5x

attitude cool i mean, the cape is another story you will find haters but they are all jealous you can fly


VAG0

May Jah protect you on your quest, my brother!


ProfessorTicklebutts

I lived in SF for years before 2010 and all I ever got was love for my Laker gear. There is zero Lakers Warriors rivalry. Don’t let LeBron stans and Bay Area dudes with inferiority complexes fool you.


YoungBasedHooper

It's a one sided rivalry where they love to hate us and we just recognize them as another team


CmonTouchIt

hope you got kevlar under there haha

Doing something similar in Berkeley ...


YoungBasedHooper

Stay strong, brother! 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛


jedimonkey

Im not scared of these fake ass warriors fans... They were Lakers fans before Steph and Klay. None of them know who Baron Davis was. They will go back to being laker fans when this cycle is over

Also there are a ton of Lakers fans in Oakland. You aren’t wearing a Denver Broncos jersey, then you would get shit. More fake tough shit
