4. Los Angeles Lakers

A perfect life is what I am after
My first name won’t be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes

Senses Fail – Let It Enfold You

There’s a bit of shame in Senses Fail making this list, but I have to work through it. This is not a band I’m proud of having in my history. However, the key to overcoming life’s difficulties is to go through obstacles, not around them.

And that’s what the Lakers did. Sure they did! Magic is in charge now. Everything is going to be perfect in Lakerland all over again. That’s how it works and how it’s going to work, and the rest of the poor, sad, stupid world is just going to have to deal with the best.

Life is just the best in L.A. Have you seen that weather? Wonderful. The palm trees growing out of the side of the Staples Center are swaying majestically in the Pacific breeze. The front office already acquired the star Jeannie Buss was looking for after trading for Corey Brewer. Nick Young’s smile and the rest of Nick Young are also there.

Some might think that L stands for “loss.” But no! It stands for Laker Nation. And Luscious! And Lottery! You don’t lose lotteries, you win them!

That’s what the Lakers do. They successfully achieve a really great winning percentage for their very good goals of getting a really good player. The will also definitely achieve signing Paul George after his contact with the Pacers expires. Everything is great. The Lakers are great*.

I didn’t know dogs could drink coffee.
