Lakers reporter Ryan Ward launched a striking vote on the well-known social platform X: "Lakes fans, which team do you want to win the championship (if any)." This vote instantly attracted the attention and participation of many Lakers fans.

Ryan Ward has carefully set up four options to provide fans with clear directions to choose. As of now, as many as 1,365 users have participated in the vote, and this number is still growing.

Among these four options, the "Whoever wins the championship except the Celtics" option received the highest approval rating, reaching 47%. This result reflects the complex feelings of Lakers fans towards the traditional strong team of Celtics. Perhaps it is because the two teams met many times in key games in history, and the competition was fierce and they accumulated deep feuds. For example, in the finals of a certain season in the past, the two sides fought fiercely for several games, giving fans a wonderful and gunpowder-filled showdown, which made Lakers fans have a strong resistance to the Celtics' championship.

The option "Whoever wins the championship except the Warriors" won 16.8% of the vote. This may be related to the frequent confrontation between the Lakers and the Warriors on the field in recent years. The two teams met many times in the playoffs, and each showdown was full of drama and high-intensity confrontation. With its excellent tactical system and star players' performance, the Warriors have caused huge troubles to the Lakers many times, resulting in some Lakers fans not wanting the Warriors to win the championship.

The proportion of fans who chose "never follow the NBA until the start of next season" reached 28.1%. This shows that a considerable number of Lakers fans are not particularly concerned about the championship situation of other teams in the current season, and they are more willing to focus on the performance of the Lakers next season. Maybe it was because the Lakers' performance this season did not meet their expectations, which made them lose interest in the competition of other teams, or because they believed that the Lakers had more room and opportunity to adjust next season, so they chose to temporarily put their attention to the title of the current season.

And the option of "promising a specific team wins the championship" only received 8.1% of the vote. This may indicate that most Lakers fans do not have a particularly clear tendency to support other teams, and make choices based on considerations of the relationship between the Lakers and their competitors.
