**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[whoaitsgee]

That espys segment was tough to sit through
Miss you Bean

Same. I always knew he was underrated but man, his skill level is absolutely unparalleled, IMO of course. Watching all these current superstars and upcoming players, none can a hold handle to Kobe's skills and his dedication to the game. All his interviews from when he was young, to the time he retired along with testaments from all his peers has always been consistent.

It's a shame that Kobe was severely underrated throughout his career.

Yes. This this this

the poor guy spent his entire career being ****ted on mother****ers in the media. Mothe****ers were talking about harden might be better than him. The media was so damn anti-kobe for most of his career it was ridiculous.

 

[CP1708]

I remember when people tried to say Wade had surpassed him, and then like you said, Harden.

People forever tried to give away Kobe's career as an afterthought, but naw. Dude has a resume about as good as any but maybe 5-6-7 guys.

I will say that at least WE held him down. You couldn't talk bad about Kobe to most Lakers fans.

I bet he didn't care one bit either. This man had Jordan crying at his funeral.

That told me everything I needed to know...

 

[MVP]

Some of us held him down, in here, for sure. There was a segment of Lakers fans that couldn't stand him and would **** on him at every opportunity as well.

 

[MVP]

Welp

 

[pmatic]

Not even mad.

 

[WAKKO!]

Damn I was looking forward to his defense

 

[lvjordan238]

Hopefully just means more minutes for Carushow and not JR coming in.

 

[DLF]

Damn man. That sucks. we literally lost a starter. And the only guy to look right at Beverly and cuss him out

who we picking up now? We got waiters but we should get another wing defender

 

[DLF]

Good luck to Avery Bradley. Good luck in Detroit or Cleveland next season. King James ain’t gon’ like this

 

[tay1]

Damn hate to hear it

 

[tupac003]

That hurts...

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Hopefully just means more minutes for Carushow and not JR coming in.

And as soon as you said this, Woj just tweeted that JR has emerged as the front runner to replace Bradley

 

[tupac003]

Shoot me

 

[pmatic]

Emergency break glass guy. I hope.

 

[DLF]

If JR Smith is healthy and in shape he’s GREAT for his role

guy has been to multiple finals. Got ice In his veins and drank in his cup

 

[thasoleful1]

Caruso getting his minutes forsure.

 

[moonman818]

What’s OJ Mayo up to

guess why Wade only made two all NBA first teams.....Kobe Bean Bryant

and both times Kobe made it with him lol

most years he couldn’t crack first team because of Kobe

People at varying points said VC, AI, Pierce, McGrady, Wade we’re better than Kobe

Kobe served them all over and over and over and dropped 60 in his 20th year while those players fizzled out of the league flabby and sick

 

[darthska]

Close your eyes, Lakers fans from the Kobe adidas days. Had to lay down an OG today. Got these the DAY they came out, and I mean I LOVED them:
