YouTube gold: 'Laker Rhapsody' song

By J.E. Skeets

Regardless of what you think of the Los Angeles Lakers, this "Laker Rhapsody" video is a brilliant, creative piece of work. The lyrics, the delivery, the slide show -- it all makes for a hilarious and entertaining parody. In fact, I suggest you throw on a unitard, turn up the volume and watch it right this second:

The Marc Gasol crescendo had me on the floor. A million points to the Dave Dameshek Show and Erkki Corpuz for sharing this with the world.

    The number one team in the west.... A great once in a liftime Superstar that we are priveledged to experience.
    Kobe always gives 150% and always leaves blood on the floor.
    Must be a bitter Clipper fan who produce this.

    Just to clarify, I am the guy who made it and I am a lifelong Laker fan (lived in SoCal for more than 30 years). I heard the song on the Dave Dameshek show so I downloaded it from his site and set the pictures to the music.

    Post 11 Rose. You don't have the #1 team due to how close the western conference is, but you do have the best player in the league. Koby is just being Koby and he just wonna win just like Mike did without bringing it out to everyone.

    Tour de force!
