Hello from Germany

[Paul]

Ok where i should start, what about how it all started?

I was born in Poland, 2.7.1984, when i was 5 years old we moved to Germany, and from now on we still live there, still in the same house.
I like it here, but i miss Poland from time to time, the last time i was there was 2002, and last year died my grandma, it was a tought time, cause i saw here the last time 2002, and, it was a tough time. *I love u grandma*

I became a NBA Fan cause everybody here was playin soccer, and i wanted to try somethin new, so i started playin basketball when i was 9 years old i think, i won a medal at a basketball challenge in this age at my school, still proud of it.

Startin watchin the NBA was 95 when the Playoffs started, on german tv there was a Show called "Jump Ran", a Basketball show, it came every saturday in the morning, was cool.

At first i was a big MJ and Bulls Fan, damn they were unbelivable, unbeatable back then, so i watched every game i could.
When the 96/97 Season started i bought a NBA Mag. and in there was a article about "Baby Jordan", guess who it was, yap our hero, Kobe.

I started to catch some Lakers games to see him play, but often he was on the bench, i only saw him in the Top 10 videos, but i became a fan of him, and of the Lakers, na not cause of Shaq, i didnt liked Shaq, and i remember that in the sommer when Shaq got traded to L.A., i told my cousin that from now on i will hate the Lakers, i didnt like Shaq that much, when he brought us the rings, things changed, when he left us things changed again, when he gave Kobe his hand, things changed again.

So i´m a Lakers Fan since 96/97 u can say and it was because of Kobe.
I saw a lot of games, in the earlier days i watched every game i could.

When we got Internet, damn i was happy, it was so unbelivable.
NBA Results so quickly, so many infos, pics, damn.

How i found Clublakers, hmmmm, i think i googled for somethin of the Lakers and Clublakers came up, at first i just read, then i posted, the fact that here are so many Lakers fans is just wonderful.
At first i talked with "BigNay" or somethin like that, i call him a litte bit diffrent, just rhyme BigNay, what comes out, i wont say u know it.

Then came LakersGyrl (good luck with LakerBaller, he´s a good guy), we became really good friends, we talked so often, this was around the 2004 Playoffs, when i started workin, we couldnt talked so much then.

So thats my little little LITTLE story.

P.S. i´m 22 years old, got a girlfriend that hates Kobe and the Lakers, but thats an never ending story.
