Not Everybody’s Excited About Jordan
It’s bad enough that we’ve been bombarded by the Eastern press with this ridiculous return of Dr. Ego, but it’s even worse to have to read about it from a Los Angeles-based writer [“Sure He’s Older, but Jordan Simply Never Grows Old,” by J.A. Adande, Oct. 16]. Clearly you don’t like Kobe and the Lakers, that is clear from your columns, but to devote L.A. Times space to Michael Jordan while the hometown Lakers embark on a three-peat is plain wrong.
Your fawning over this guy is just plain embarrassing. J.A., why don’t you make the move and leave this fair city, clearly that is your desire. Wouldn’t you be happier rooting for Jordan openly as a member of the Washington Post? If you need a letter of recommendation please ask any Laker fan, that is space many of us would be glad to fill.

How to tell if you are a true Laker fan:
* You would rather watch a Laker preseason game than the baseball playoffs.
* You mute the TV and listen to Chick on the radio while watching the game on NBC.
* You buy Clipper season tickets to be able to see the Lakers at Staples Center.
* Instead of flying an American flag on your car, you got your Laker flag out of the closet and put it back on your car.
* Something in your home is named Kobe.
