ABL
Anybody But Lakers syndrome
A syndrome that occurs, usually in or around
the month of May where a
Laker hater jumps onto the band wagon of any and every team that the Los Angeles Lakers face. The band wagon jumping is usually accompanied by loudly proclaiming that the opposing team (and/or its individual players) is the second coming, and a lock to defeat Kobe and company.
Hater: "Denver is gonna
wipe the floor with Lakers."
Fan: "Don't worry about him, he just suffers from
ABL."
The Very Same Hater, just 10 days later: "Utah is the truth. They're just too physical for the Lakers. Utah ftw!"
Another Fan: Sounds like somebody's ABL is acting up."
