Kobe won't have it all again.....He'll have games where he'll look great and then he'll have games where he wont look so great, that's just part of age

For him to be even this type of a player is awe inspiring

Also its amazing how having another player who can create his own shot makes the Lakers look like a competent team especially against Eastern teams

or maybe their competence level has more to do with facing an easier opponent. The only other team that they've faced on the Hawks level is Charlotte, who they crushed. Everyone else on the schedule was literally A playoff team (or Phoenix who won 48 games last year) or another playoff contender like the Pelicans

The Lakers are a mediocre team that will look "competent" against other mediocre teams, and will look terrible against playoff teams. This is with or without "having another player who can create his own shot"

Nick ******* young isn't the missing piece to competency

He helps.
I think that's the point being made.
Saying he doesn't is just, well, they play Houston tomorrow.
We'll see how that game goes, I bet they look more "competent" against this decent team than they did against the other decent teams, thus far.

There isn't a player in the league you haven't predicted to be great. It was common knowledge that he hates N.O. wanted to leave. That's why he signed the offer sheet with the suns and made it known he did not want N.O. to match.

Literally the first thing that came up when I did a quick search :lol:

From building the team around AD and Gordon to he's a ******* bum. All in less than a year :lol:

But I'm not here to argue. I maintain that a change in scenery would make him into a productive player again.

Kings certainly didn't make AD work for many of those buckets.

 Awful transition D, and way to committal to Jrue Holiday in PnRs and losing AD, who's the best player on the court. 
 
Swag P comes back and then all of a sudden, there is a breath of fresh air in the Laker locker room.

 

Good to see, and it is going to be fun to watch.

Still looking for where I said he's a superstar.


Build an offense around two players =/= superstar and that was before I saw how garbage he's been playing over the past two years.


There are a lot of players who don't wanna play on the team they're on, none of them playing as bad as Gordon.

Lets see how long he lasts as a spot up shooter before he gets tired of just sitting at the 3 point line waiting for kobe to pass out of a double team
 
Still don't understand how Jermaine O'Neal wasn't charged with attempted murder, he almost decapitated that man.
 
But wait....I think the real question is how did Stephen Jackson not get a bigger suspension. He put hands on the most people :rofl:
 
YOOOOOOO read the stories from David Harrison (backup center on the Pacers at the time) about the team:
Practice would end in fights daily Ron [Artest] was normally the center of the problems. One of my favorite was the ***** day. Ron made the announcement that if he scores on you, you’re a *****. So he and [Stephen Jackson] were going at it all day. “*****” as a three fell and Jack’s face was classic. He was about to lose it until [Jermaine O'Neal] spoke up. “Ron, yo we are teammates. You can’t go around calling people *******.” “Well if I score on you, you’re a *****,” Ron frankly responded. “He’s just hyping himself up,” Jack says. “He’s not talking to me. I don’t have a problem with it.” “Yes, I am,” Ron points to Jack. “I scored on you. YOU’RE my *****.” “Now I have a problem,” Jack begin to walk towards Ron and the yell of Rick came over the crowd. “Nobody is a *****! Just run the cock sucking play!” It was kind of funny when Rick [Carlise] spoke like that, EVERYTHING was either a cock-sucker or a mother-******. “You mother-******* are a team so stop with all the ********!”

After what felt like an eternity, we were all sitting safe and sound in the locker room. That’s when comedy ensued. Ron was walking around saying “(My) bad guys, I didn’t know we had so many real ****** on this team.” Then, asked the question “What you think we are going to get fined for this?” [Anthony Johnson] responds, “**** a fine, Ron, they are going to suspend us!” ”Awwww no!!! I don’t want to get suspended. Awww man. Aww man.”

I began to laugh at this moment but it ended quickly when JO went after Rick. JO was talking about how the coaches were not fighting with us and Rick chimes in with “**** you JO!” They both stand up and then [assistant coach] Mike Brown comes over and says, “Look JO I [got] hit in my lip, too,” pointing to his boo boo. Seeing Thomas pointing to his cracked lipped returned the sound of laughter to the room.

Back to Phoenix, I went to the stadium that day for shootaround and got pulled aside by [Pacers President Donnie Walsh]. David, he said … I don’t even remember what he said next. The whole world started to fade in and out of focus. His face was full of nothing but disappointment and mine with nothing but shame. I was told to go directly back to Indy but I took a slight detour to LA.

I landed at LAX, rented a car, and began a drug binge that would have made Hunter S. Thompson proud. I was trying to die “Leaving Las Vegas” style, but some force had other plans for me. I blacked out in my room at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood and woke up in my apartment in Indianapolis. Apparently I tried to jump off my balcony but one of the people I was with (who shall remain nameless but thanks) saw I was completely out of control and called my agent. They found me the that night and got me home. He describes the 4-day rager in a way that makes me think the movie “Get Him to the Greek” should pay me royalties.
