Lakers Ron Artest asks if San Diego has a baseball team while wearing a Padres hat

L.A. Laker Ron Artest was doing a news conference in San Diego yesterday at the Chargers media center and jokingly said he'd like to play for other San Diego professional sports teams. 

Associated Press:

"And I'm also here to say that next year I'll be trying out for the San Diego Chargers, so I look forward to that. Hopefully I can play some baseball. Is there a baseball team here?"

You're wearing the hat, he was told.

"I know I'm wearing the hat. I just love the SD. The logo looks great. I didn't realize there was a baseball team in San Diego."

The Padres are more of a fashion statement than a baseball franchise.

We need to define a time period here

They’ve fluctuated over time.

I think the better question is

“The NBA still exists?”

The Rockies are a fashion statement more than a baseball team too

At least outside of Colorado. An article came out a couple months ago, before the Rockies really starting winning long-term. People in New York and Philly, etc, were wearing purple Rockies hats, mostly because they are the only baseball team with purple hats, and a new set of popular shoes hit the market for which a purple lid was the perfect compliment

I was wondering

why I’ve been seeing those around lately. I would look at people wearing them and think “there’s no way that guy’s a Rockies fan here (Washignton DC)”

DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.

I bet Manny walks around town with Padres hats on asking the same thing.

Here's a list of NBA Teams I didn't know existed

Milwaukee Bucks
Charlotte Bobcats
Memphis Grizzlies
New Orleans Hornets
Toronto Raptors (sounds a little familiar)

I was glancing through an adjacent Sports Weekly

and I didn’t notice any NBA coverage. Weird.

no

I can name two and then I can name some names but not what city they are from.

Are the LA Kings still a team?

I think I could name five if they count.
