Not that I particularly care one way or another on the matter, "petty" could also be used to describe the Lakers organization seemingly disregarding the Minneapolis history until the early 2000s when it all of a sudden became convenient. Not to mention not retiring Mikan's number until 2022. Nearly 20 years after his death.
At the end of the day, I don't really care but it's telling where the organization's head was at when it seemingly ignored the Minnesota days until this century.
