DUMB AND DUMBER

Their is no need for this movie to be re-made, because it could happen in the NBA in Los Angeles. The Sacramento Kings may be moving to Anaheim, CA. They want to leave a city that has no other sports team, a city who loves their kings, and move on down the coast to an already crowded house. You have the big brother who is the popular kid in school and everybody adores in the Los Angeles Lakers. Then you have the little brother that isn't so popular and just can't live up to big brothers expectation in the Los Angeles Clippers. Now an adoptive brother wants to move in.
The ridiculous part of the whole thing is this, in baseball New York, LA, and Chicago have 2 teams, but they are in different leagues. These 3 NBA teams are in the same conference and will play multiple times. Lets not forget that 2 of these teams play in the same building which is even more ridiculous. I mean Kansas City has a brand new arena with no pro team to play in it, Seattle would love to come back in, and why rip the hearts out of Sacramento leaving them no pro team. The other thing here is this, in LA most Dodger fans are in LA county and Angel fans are in Orange County. Both have been successful, not one is more dominant than the other despite what the fans say. But we are talking about the Los Angeles Lakers here. One, if not the most prestigious NBA franchise in the whole league, not just LA, the whole league. The Clippers shouldn't even be in that city, let alone to be allowed to play in Staples Center. Do you think the Knicks should share Madison Square Garden with the Nets? Didn't think so. Clippers are always in the Lakers shadows, they are the B team in town. So why would you move your franchise from Northern California to Southern California where the territory is already spoken for. Do you really think people in Anaheim are all of a sudden going to bail off the Lakers bandwagon to join the so called Anaheim Royals? I don't understand the logic here. Why does LA need 3 teams, when one is more dominant than the other 2 combined. Why not share the league in cities where there is no NBA.
