Many of the Will Play For Food team members are devout L.A. Lakers fans.   Over the years we've rooted them on.  For me it started when I was a kid watching TV with my Dad and rooting for Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich and Norm Nixon.

If you have any good Lakers pictures you would like to share please let send them to me via email

05/26/2002 - "It was a Lucky Shot"  --   Vlade "Sir Flop-a-Lot" Divac

was the single biggest play in the playoffs.
