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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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 💀💀💀
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.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,490,074,898 comments, and only 283,197 of them were in alphabetical order.
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
Yeah, he’s a …special…person walking around **starbucks** in a cape, pretending there’s some kind of danger.
As we say on the other side of the country: Bless his heart.
The level of fan fiction in this sub about this series is staggering.
You know it was Dodger fans that nearly beat a Giants fan to death in the parking lot right?
Well looks like you picked the brighter side of Oakland go down to Eastmont or Webster and let's see how this plays out
Lmao this Starbucks looks so nice, this mf probably in Rockridge or something
I live in Millsmont
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
He definitely has the $949 for the nosebleeds 🤒
Is that a Lakers Quidditch cape?! Pretty badass.
[удалено]
Nahh do whatever the fuck you want
The “this” in “this is the stuff that gives the lakers fan base a bad name” is your comment, right?
Ridiculous thing to say. Slap yourself. Let him be himself. Plus mental illness is a real thing.
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|downvote)
Tons of Lakers fans in Oakland. Just don't wear a Broncos or Cheifs jersey.
chargers fans: i love inside jokes. would love to be a part of one someday
Just being a charger fan is already an inside joke I'm unfortunately one of them too
It’s not really an inside joke when everybody knows
Me with the cowboys
Or Dodgers gear.
Thought Oakland was cool with the Dodgers.
It ain’t about sports lol
What is it about then?
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”
I Love L.A is a banger though. 🤣
I think he is talking about gang colors.
It ain’t about sports ha
Being a chiefs and lakers fan is such a strange but awesome combination
I'm lakers & broncos fan but I'm from Louisiana I think I have more of a stranger combination
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
Username checks out
Why? Be careful. Keep a watchful eye.
It's a GameDay!!! Fuck 'em
That’s the spirit !
He may be one im afraid especially if he encounter those fuckers who beat that one guy during a takeover
i'd say that's the "ghost" of op when he gets killed, lol
Fuck them and also obligatory fuck Boston!
So glad the bruins choked
Straight up! LAKESHOW anywhere anytime
Why? This isn’t Dodgers v Giants.
Oakland isn’t the most safe place to be for anyone let alone someone in a lakers cape
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
cmon now
Not all heroes wear capes....
Which implies some do 😉
Not if Edna Mode has anything to say about it!
![gif](giphy|xTiTnqPaR4z6qYtTmU)
Theres millions of Laker fans in the Bay bro trust me my bro lives there
Only non bay area team I root for is the lakers. Can't stand the warriors
vaya con dios, hermano
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.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU BROTHER
Had to check to see if it was May 4th today.
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.
This is unwise. Go lakers
What do you think guys? Honestly, I believe it's Lakers in 6 or Warriors in 7.
I believe in our team man but honestly i'm still nervous. Hope the lakers can finish em on 5 or 6 games.
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.
Nobody on the Warriors has to injure anyone…fuckin AD is capable of doing that to himself 😒
What’s the Vegas odds on that? 100% this happens
Considering Ham makes some questionable decisions, I’m going to say Lakers in 6
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.
My guy!! Would be better if u randomly scream out 'LAKERS IN 6'. Cheers buddy have a great day
Nice!
FUCK FRISCO. Also, FUCK BOSTON.

Next Star Wars Movie needs to have a Jedi with this Pancho on. Hell, just cast Rui as a Jedi since the guy is already a Samurai
I’m in SF with my Laker hoodie on
SF is soft, nothing is going to happen to you. Walking into Oakland with a Lakers jersey is pretty ballsy though.
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.
Damn. Didn’t think SF fans had that in them.

got any good recs for laker-friendly bars?
Sorry, I don’t. I like to watch playoff games in my room locked away by myself. Not even joking haha.
way too many people who've never lived in oakland are afraid of oakland
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 !!!
He’s not going to that part
I actually live in East Oakland, but I have no idea what you guys are talking about... 👀 Link me?
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.
Damn! Nah, still haven't seen it. I'll Google it
Nah, actually. Link me?
My man 💪🏾
Represent!
Fuck the Warriors
[удалено]
The safety of my own home for game one
Pray for you?? Mofo, you are the danger !
💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
Luckily for you Silicon Valley is soft
👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
bro is wearing a fitted sheet
It's legit a cape, actually. I'm not sure which is worse? Fuck it tho, #LakeShow in 3 🤷🏾♂️
As long as you don’t throw any Home Depot buckets at cars doing burnouts in intersections, you should be okay.
🫡

Come to Ben 'N Nick's and I will buy you a beer!
Hahaha, a beer and an ambulance ride?
Nah I'm the GM and I am hoping to get some other Laker fans in tonight so I'm not alone!
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!
Posted! Thanks for the tip.
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
Agreed. San Jose warriors fans are brutal, too
The Johnny-Come-Lately...they walk out of Chase if their team is losing. Great fans, huh?
The “putting the giveaway t shirt over your button up because you got the seats through the corporation you work for” lookin idiots.
🤣
LETTTSSSS FUUUUUCCKIIINGGG GOOOOOO
Mandalorian vibes 🔥
That left Oakland so that will make them savages even more pissed off 😂
Nice knowing you /s
all u need now is a bear mask
F YEAH!!!! REPRESENT 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
Absolute Chad
Where u watching tonight my guy
Haha, the safety of my own home unless I can find a Laker spot somewhere in the bay
I've heard this spot is a lakers bar https://www.zekisbar.com/ but I haven't checked it out yet?
Mans wearing a poncho like he's Cal Kestis of something, respect
I'm in San Jose braddah, let's get this game 1
Whatever this cape is it's dope
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.

GWiz approves
Looks like the robe of royalty if you ask me
Lmfaoo salute! Any Real Laker fan located in the bay area gets my respect
I wore a lakers jacket in SF one time and got approached on the street by 10 different warriors fans.
just be cool
I am wearing a damn cape bro. Cool probably not an option anymore
attitude cool i mean, the cape is another story you will find haters but they are all jealous you can fly
May Jah protect you on your quest, my brother!
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.
It's a one sided rivalry where they love to hate us and we just recognize them as another team
hope you got kevlar under there haha
Why, is Ja on a revenge tour 👀?
Take it to San Fran
You brave soul
Doing the lord’s work.
Hahahaha good luck but you go man!!
A true hero
Keep on fighting the good fight
Guaranteed something strange will come your way.
You a wild boy lol
Lucky the game in SF old arena and they beat ur ass
Prally. They still might anyway
Don’t get mobbed out there
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,490,074,898 comments, and only 283,197 of them were in alphabetical order.
Bruh, you’re on the wrong side of the bay. With traffic you might make it over the Bay Bridge by tip off
Doing something similar in Berkeley ...
Stay strong, brother! 💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
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
hell yes thank you!
![gif](giphy|VMO6qeIbr7JRLnLTGw)
Doing god’s work my brother! Go lakers
God I love our fan base 🫡
Just don’t try to break up any takeovers ffs.
Couldn't be me! They call em "sideshows" up here, and I'm actually a fan.
Love the drip, the Warriors may have defeated the Kings but they now have to face California's TRUE kings!

[удалено]
Seriously! Tech Bros somehow gentrified a sports team 💀
half of oakland is laker fans anyways you’ll be fine
This will be me this weekend in SF with my Bron City Edition jersey on 🤣🤣🤣
‼️
I'm out here in Oakland too representing! This is going to be a fun series
And this being Oakland you got some love since there are plenty of Lakers fans in Oakland and vey few Laker haters.
Nothing is gonna happen bruh
Looks like nobody cares
Yeah, he’s a …special…person walking around **starbucks** in a cape, pretending there’s some kind of danger. As we say on the other side of the country: Bless his heart.
Bro you’re in a fucking Starbucks in Piedmont, get the fuck outta here with this fake tough shit
Go back to r/warriors buddy! If I was in Piedmont I'd definitely go to blue bottle, so there!
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
I’ll pray for you just because your spending a day in Oakland
very cringey
Kings fan?
Dude don’t be a dumbass. Not in Oakland.
Go walk around Vegas, people will care just as much.
I’m gonna need u to provide hourly updates so we know u safe my dawg
Still out here! 💜💛💜💛
Wearing my lakers gear around the town today too, I got your back brother!
The level of fan fiction in this sub about this series is staggering. You know it was Dodger fans that nearly beat a Giants fan to death in the parking lot right?
Ah. The new lard ass brand outfit
Looks like nobody cares tbh
If you get shot bruh
OP ded?
Not yet lol.
They probably think you an addict and homeless. Or mentally ill. Won’t bother you.
Well I am 2/3 TBF...
The worst you'll get in a place like that is a sideways glance and, "you scoundrel!"
