Ox has a grin on his face, I'm sure.

All that extra weight, probably.

Must have been the breasts.

Seems strange but time will tell.

Tough break for the rookie and tough break for the Lakers, who are fast running out of players.

I'm loving Kobe ending his career on a bad team and nobody wanted to play with him. I don't think any athlete more deserving of going out a loser like Kobe.

I don't dislike Kobe. He's an egomaniac like 99.99% of the rest of the league, but at least he has something intelligent to say for himself.

F him he he demanded shaq to be traded and phil to be fired or he'd sign somewhere else. He single handedly broke up a dynasty.

I knew he had feuded with O'Neal, but I wasn't aware he asked for Jackson's dismissal. Where did you get that?

I followed it pretty closely back then he was hell bent on starting his own legacy.

I don't question that, but he had a helluva lot of respect for Jackson. No way do any of those Lakers championships happen without Jackson managing all those egos.

When he was younger he struggled with Phil calling him out in the media and what not. He didn't care for alot of the mental games Phil played until he matured.

Oh yay...the NBA has started back up.

I agree. Such an incredible competitor and yet such a complete d-bag and sh1tty teammate.

I think that's his biggest downfall really.you hit the nail on the head, he's one of the all time greats but he's a terrible teammate

Kobe had the same attitude as Jordan. Jordan is better than Kobe, but they both act the same.

Kobe didn't dismantle the franchise. If anything he kept it together. Mitch Kupchak holds the distinction. Hiring D'Antoni over Jackson when the club wasn't built to tun had to rate as one of the worst Laker decisions ever.

Kobe B did his talking with his play. The guy could do it. GReat human being? I dont know. Never met him. Julius Randle is a good kid. Takes care of his mom. Has a real game and plays hard. I hope he comes back healthy.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

I dislike Kobe as much as the next guy, but didn't he come back and win two more titles without Shaq?

That sucks for them. Nash out for the year too. What a stupid move that was. That was a stupid move when it happened and it's gotten progressively stupidier
