Phenomenal Swag: Lakers '07-08 NBA Champions DVD
By J.E. Skeets
Phenomenal Swag' searches high and low across the Internets for NBA-related goods you never knew you needed. Feel free to e-mail any odd product findings here.
Los Angeles Lakers 2007-2008 NBA Champions DVD
$24.99, CBSSportsStore.com
Remember, back in June, when the Lakers rallied from 30 points down in Game 6 of the NBA Finals — with Kobe scoring something like, 42 points in the fourth quarter to complete the greatest comeback in the history of sports — before ultimately knocking off the Celtics to win the championship in seven games?
Yeah, me either. Which is why we're fortunate to have the Delorean-ridin' mad scientists at CBS. Peep the video:
Get an inside look at the Los Angeles Lakers 2007-2008 NBA Champions regular season, triumphant playoff run and NBA Finals victory with this DVD from Warner Brothers®! It provides an all-access pass to exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes action and an unforgettable courtside view of the NBA Finals.
Dear Elie Seckbach, please buy this DVD, gift-wrap it, and present it to your boy Kobe while filming his reaction. I promise I'll reimburse you the $25 bucks. Thanks in advance. Skeets.
(And oh, just ignore the "this is a pre-sell item, in the event that this team loses your order will be canceled" note at the bottom of CBS's store page. It's much funnier this way. Thanks, CelticsBlog!) |

I never knew they made items for both teams in the finals. This has never happened in professional sports before. SOUND THE ALARM!
Oh wait, it happens every single year and not just in the nba (Patriots perfect season merch!). Skeets is a tool.

I don't think any mean-spirited e-mails are necessary here. His name is JE Skeets, that's punishment enough.

Would he be a dumbass if the Lakers had won, and he pointed out the same thing with a Celtics DVD?
Yeah, didn't think so. |

Owned. 
all kidding aside, i just think he picked up on it cause he is a NBA/bball blogger AND it is the most recent championship series
i doubt he his goal was to humiliate the lakers or something, and not everyone knows that merchandise for both teams are made during a championship series |

First, there's no cussing on CL so I don't know how that passed the swear filter. And second, JSM already made a thread about the dvd, maybe you could put this article in that thread.

Ok cool. When the Lakers win their next championship, and someone takes a stab at whichever EC team we beat in the finals' DVD, I expect you to come out and call them a dumbass,
Somehow, I don't think that's happening. So the guy isn't a dumbass for reporting this, he's a dumbass because it's not pro-Laker. Gotta love it. It's like all the power rankings and articles that don't say the Lakers are the bestest team in the world are all written by dumbasses. |

Come on Mr.Policeman, just let it go. If you don't care that this guy wrote this, then why do you care if someone on CL calls him a dumbass? Seems like according to you its not ok to criticize our players, other teams, our management, or anyone affiliated with the NBA. |

Examine that closely. I said yes, he would be a dumbass. You drew a conclusion that had nothing to do with the question. What's this about your expectations of me that had nothing to do with your original question of whether or not I would still think his a dumbass?
You fail at reading comprehension.

| Actually JE Skeets isn't a dumbass. He's incredibly knowledgeable about basketball. You just don't understand his humor so chill out. He's not a Laker hating tool like Hollinger and pokes fun at every team. |

No, not really. Just sick and tired of people calling Hollinger a tool/dumbass/whatever when he predicts the Lakers would lose to Utah.
Then when he predicts the Lakers to beat the Spurs in 5 (which they did), it was "HOLLINGER PREDICTS LAKERS BEAT SPURS IN 5!! Let's post about it!!!"
Then when he predicts the Celtics to beat the Lakers, he's back to being a dumbass again. It's gotten to the point where you're only a 'tool
as you so eloquently put it when you write ANYTHING satirical or negative about the Lakers and a God when you write something positive. Very very unoriginal.
And anyone who has the word "Admin" under their name, I'd expect more than name calling and personal attacks like "you fail at reading comprehension". You should be setting examples, good examples for the ClubLakers community. Unless, you feel this is appropriate behavior going forward for ClubLakers? Please respond.
For now, rather than attack YOU as a person, I will attack your post.
Your post(s) themselves lack originality. |

See this is why I brought up reading comprehension.
You see, in my initial post I basically said Skeets was a dumbass for bringing up the obvious. This has nothing to do with positivity or negativity, it's idiotic and it would have been idiotic if he did the same thing with the Celtics DVD if we had won. Losing teams have merch made for them, yeah, that's news alright.
Happy that I spelled it out for you again?

So in other words, you can't really respond to my post. Gotcha.

knm, your argument has nothing to do with my comment. You need to learn to stop being over sensitive and over protective about what you perceive to be laker homerism without actually jumping the gun and reading my post. I'm done here.

For some so advanced in the skill of reading comprehension, I'm surprised you were unable to pick up on the fact, that the article was a satire.
So in a sense, this whole thing is rather ironic considering you called Skeets a dumbass for bringing up the obvious, yet, the obvious was completely beyond you (at least he could see the obvious).
I would have thought that every sports fan would have known this by reading the article. My faith in humanity has just dropped a bit -- thanks a lot. |

 You see, laughing at the expense of a team and writing a satire article is not one in the same, kiddo.

I'm not quite sure in how many different ways one can say this but .....
... it's a joke.
JSM could tell it was a joke as well=> http://www.clublakers.com/forums/lakers-championship-dvds-on-sale-t99459.html
It's not even making fun of the Lakers, it's making fun of CBS: "Obviously the DVD's were made before the Lakers lost the NBA Championship, and CBS just wants to unload them and squeeze some cash out of a handful of idiots."
It's pointed at CBS and how are they going to plan to make and sell a DVD about something that never happened.
He's not making fun of the Lakers AT ALL. Why is this so hard for you? Please, try to understand this because EVERYONE else does. |
