Everybody outside of New York hates the Yankees. The Cubs get my vote as "America's team" also. I can almost see the Lakers, but I think you could've said the same thing about the Bulls a few years ago when they won all the time -- basically with basketball, America's team is whoever is kicking ass at the moment.

I don't think that there's any such thing as "America's team" for any other sports. College sports are really a regional thing -- growing up in the Chicago area, I never heard of anyone who cared about Duke or USC -- okay, maybe Duke, but I hate them so it doesn't count, lol.
