Lakers Fan Of The Week - Danny Gomez And His Lucky Purple Kobe Shirt

Published by lakers-fan.com on June 10th, 2010 | Tagged lakers, lakers fan of the week

Game 3 this year against the Celtics. 14-0 When wearing the shirt!

I received this piece of crap $5 Kobe shirt as a gift from my dad for Christmas in 2008 which was in the middle of the championship 2008-2009 season. Of course I wore it the day of and watched the Christmas game against the Celtics in which we wiped them up nicely and was somewhat redeeming for what had happened the previous June. I didn’t think it had much luck until I wore it at Staples Center for the Lakers beating of the Cavs in Jan of 2009. By that time I was 3-0 in it. From that point on I knew to wear it in clutch situations and not over use it’s powers.

This includes game 7 in the Western Semi’s against Houston, game 1 and 6      against Denver and game 3 and 5 against Orlando in the 2009 championship run,  the aerial acrobatics displayed in the picture on the left took place after game 5 of  the finals when the Lakers were crowned.

This season, some memorable moments in the purple Kobe shirt included the  buzzer beater against Miami and the last shot against Boston in which Kobe had a few last second heroics. This post season includes game 3 against Utah and game 1 against Phoenix and more recently game 3 of the finals where I am striking a pose in the purple Kobe shirt.
With all that being said Laker fans I will be wearing the purple Kobe shirt on Sunday night game 5………no need to fear the $5 purple Kobe shirt is here.

Why I believe this is successful is because I never tell anyone but Laker fans when I am going to wear the shirt. Laker haters have no idea of the power of purple rain.
