Hunt little mexican girls

:lol: :lol:

whole story is jokes.


"Kobe and Karl had a true friendship, much more than teammates," Pelinka said. "Their wives are quite friendly as well. Kobe has told me that he feels very hurt and betrayed by what has happened."

Malone, in Arkansas working at his logging farm, declined to address accusations by Bryant.

"Misery loves company," Malone told USA Today in Tuesday's edition. "This is a Hollywood soap opera, and I'm not going to be a star in another Bryant soap opera."

Malone also said his wife, Kay, responded privately by letter Monday to the Bryants and Lakers owner Jerry Buss.

Bryant said to reporters before Sunday night's game against Orlando, "The comments that [Malone] said, I don't know any man in this room that wouldn't be upset about that. The past month, myself, my wife, [Malone's wife] Kay, we've had fun together. We've been out to their house, just joking around, giving each other a hard time, just clowning, being sarcastic with one another, baby-sitting kids and all that."

Asked if there could have been a misunderstanding, Bryant said, "What he said is what he said. I believe in my heart that it wasn't a misunderstanding. My wife wasn't going to stand for it. She felt uncomfortable being around him to the point that she felt she had to call his wife and tell her."

Bryant said Malone didn't deny making the comments and told him during their phone conversation, "Aw, you know, I'm sorry if I said anything that was out of line." Added Bryant, "He was like a mentor, like a brother to me, so when something like that happens, you're upset, you're hurt."

Malone's agent, Dwight Manley, told the Los Angeles Times on Sunday that Malone was asked by Vanessa Bryant, "Hey, cowboy, what are you hunting?" in reference to Malone wearing a cowboy hat and boots.

"She said it twice," Manley said, "and Karl answered, 'I'm hunting for little Mexican girls.' "

Jeremy Lin with 2 assists, 1 board and 2 points on 0 for 6 shooting over 21 minutes. GOAT Tank PG :smokin
 
Damn Jeremy Lin. The least he can do is put up big numbers on a bad team. He's in his contract year! No more excuse about kobe being selfish, or how he'd like to take the last shot.

How about we sign him as a back up? All the numbers say he's good



****** bum :smh:
 
Ford's Big Board 6.0:
1. Jahlil Okafor

Okafor continues to destroy opponents. On Saturday, he smashed Notre Dame with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and a block in just 22 minutes. In his past two games, he has shot 14-for-16 from the field. Scouts were especially excited to see Okafor play more aggressively on defense the past few games. As I reported last week, Okafor continues to be the consensus No. 1 pick in the draft. There's still time for that to change, but as of now he's got a pretty firm grip.
2. Emmanuel Mudiay
Mudiay still hasn't played a game in China since injuring his ankle in late November. At this point it's highly unlikely that he will return. For a while, the strategy seemed to make a lot of sense. Mudiay was considered far and away the best guard in this draft class. But as D'Angelo Russell has come on, Mudiay's grip on No. 2 -- and as the best alternative to Okafor as the No. 1 pick -- has weakened considerably. Of the scouts I polled, only a very slight majority preferred him to Russell. They are two very different types of guards and both will be picked high, but Mudiay's disappearing act the past few months is finally starting to catch up with him.
3. D'Angelo Russell

Russell has been the hottest name in the draft in the past month, and he's suddenly looking like a serious contender to be the first guard off the board (and perhaps even the No.1 pick). On Sunday, versus Rutgers, Russell pulled off his first triple-double of the season, with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. It was the third time this month he has grabbed 10 or more rebounds and the second time in the past few weeks that he has had 10 or more assists in a game. The decision between Mudiay (an athletic, physical guard in the mold of Derrick Rose) and Russell (a smooth, sweet-shooting guard in the mold of James Harden) is going to be a very tough one for teams.
4. Karl-Anthony Towns

After a multiweek scoring drought at the start of 2015, when Towns appeared to be smashing into the freshman wall, he has broken out of it with strong performances against Alabama, Georgia, Florida and LSU. His past three games have been especially great, including a 15-point, 13-rebound, two-block performance against Georgia; 19 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks against Florida; and 12 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks against LSU on Tuesday. His strong play of late reminds scouts why they've been so high on him all season. While he lacks the low-post offensive polish of Okafor, he's more versatile offensively and a better defender. He's not a bad consolation prize for the team that doesn't get the No. 1 pick.
5. Kristaps Porzingis

Porzingis falls out the top four for the first time all season in this update. The one-spot slide has nothing to do with Porzingis. He continues to make a compelling case as one of the best international prospects we've seen in a while -- a more athletic Nikola Mirotic, perhaps. The slide has more to do with Russell's domination the past month. Porzingis is still a compelling pick in the top five. He had 17 points and seven rebounds against Cai Zaragoza on Sunday. He's averaging 10.2 PPG and shooting 35 percent from 3-point range in ACB play.
Rest of the top 10:

6. Kevon Looney
7. Willie Cauley-Stein
8. Mario Hezonja
9. Myles Turner
10. Stanley Johnson
 
10. Stanley Johnson

Johnson has a number of strong supporters among scouts who see him as a potential Ron Artest-type player in the NBA. His physical strength, his aggressiveness and his fearlessness are clearly major selling points. He also has shot the ball better from the field than anyone expected this season (49 percent on 2-point jumpers and 39 percent from beyond the arc). But his detractors question whether his lack of elite-level explosion and ballhandling ability (evidenced in part by a surprisingly low 50 percent field-goal percentage at the rim) could limit him in the NBA compared to other wings.

6 games on a back to back. At the Heat, At the Warriors, at the Wolves, at Philly, at Denver, and at Kings. :nerd: :nerd: :nerd: :nerd: :pimp:

I don’t think we catch the Knicks at this point, so they may be moot, but we play Philly twice, and we play the T-Wolves twice. Lose those games, and the back to backs, we’d damn near be a lock for the #2 spot.

We’d have to go 7-22 just to get to 20-62 on the year. I’m not real sure why they’d even try to get to 7 wins the rest of the way at this point, when they know the more they lose, the closer they are guaranteed to Okafor, Russell, or Towns. Any of these 3 will be perfect for Randle and beyond.

I don’t know what Mitch will do, if anything, but I would think that guys like Boozer, Ellington, Lin, Hill, etc would want to play for a contender. They might try somethin like buyin out Boozer so he can sign anywhere. Maybe a small deal for Ellington. Something to thin the roster even more, and assure only the young guys and one or two vets are left, at that point, can’t see them winning too many “extra” games. We could very well top out at 18-19 wins, if that. That should be good enough for #2, at least. Then just hope no one jumps us in the lottery and pushes us down further. :frown:
