Los Angeles Basketball

by user Vishal

Forget the slumping Lakers and the lottery-bound Clippers, Los Angeles basketball fans are all hyped up about the UCLA Bruins and USC Trojans in the Sweet Sixteen. While UCLA basketball has always been the class of the NCAA, winning a whopping 11 national championships, Tim Floyd is in the process of bringing the Trojans into the picture. The LA/SC basketball situation has parallels to the lopsided LA/SC football rivalry (USC football also has 11 national titles to UCLA football's one) and even the Laker/Clipper flipflop of last year.   So, which city or region can even compare to the Lakers' 14 NBA championships and the Bruins' 11 national titles? How about the amazing fact that such rich yet lopsided rivalries exist amongst neighbors, in both basketball and football for that matter?
