Some laker fans are putting a lot of faith in a 40 year old fragile all time great that was comically bad last year.

I'm just down on the their 8th spot competition. The Kings really have no excuse this year not to get it.

This season is a throw away for my squad. I'm tryna manufacture excitement but I know what time it is. Facing the Bulls this year and going at their fans don't even get me hype. It's all about KD in 16 or DMC in 17. Until then there's always this...

I really wanna root for the Lakers to do good this year but if they really suck again we get a potential top 5 pick in return.

Was expecting more ye shrug 
 
Yeah that was pretty underwhelming. Impressive but MEH.
I see what you Kobe fans are doing, trying to keep his spirit alive through Westbrook. Pathetic. :smh:

Russ is next in line for NBA Alpha Dog once Bean retires. Russ should be flattered to be mentioned in the same sentence as a 5 time champion and all time great.

What?

I don't think that Kobe Bryant is anyone's measuring stick in regard to having a successful career, nor do I think that any player has ever saw him as the Alpha of the entire NBA. If that were indeed the case, the Lakers would be loaded with talent right now.

It's about attitude. I haven't seen anyone since MJ with the type of killer instinct Bean has. Russ IMO shares that cutthroat mentality.

I don't know what teams everyone in this thread roots for but miss me with that Lakers suck because of Kobe. The NBA is SOFT. Dudes legit scared of being yelled at and road hard by Kobe. I'm a Wizards fan that hasn't seen a chip in my lifetime. Id take a few years of being sorry if in return we had 5 titles to show for it.

Kobe Bryant has folded up like a cheap chair multiple times in big spots in his career.

Cutthroat my ***.

So, you think that yelling at teammates will make them play harder and better? You know, the Jordan comparison in order to justify Kobe's behaviors may be warranted to some, but you do realize that there were other players in the NBA that have won championships, and they did not behave in that fashion toward their teammates in which Kobe Bryant has.

Bill Russell's teams share eleven rings, and he was the alpha of his teams. You did not hear of him suddenly showing up to practice, then calling his teammates soft.

In fact, if Kobe were to even play on a team like the 90's Knicks, he may have gotten his butt handed to him due to his mouth.

Wait, I forgot about Chris Childs.

Madison Square Garden hot dogs are terrible.
