Would like to see the miami heat do one over the LA Lakers and win the finals....should rub the salt of keeping Kobe Bryant over losing Shaq
-
dun think the lakers are even gonna reach playoff with ego of kobe still around... this year strongest is miami heat -> wade, shaq, payton, jason williams, antoine walker... maybe they might overcome piston & spurs this season...Originally posted by BillyBong:Would like to see the miami heat do one over the LA Lakers and win the finals....should rub the salt of keeping Kobe Bryant over losing Shaq -
Go Spurs!
Philadelphia 76ers is a contender, with Allen Iverson and Chris Webber as the leading scorers, and newcomers Andre Iguodala and Kyle Korver. -
Pistons is the one true team that epitomies teamwork. There are no real stars save one and they play off each other.Originally posted by BrUtUs:dun think the lakers are even gonna reach playoff with ego of kobe still around... this year strongest is miami heat -> wade, shaq, payton, jason williams, antoine walker... maybe they might overcome piston & spurs this season...
It's a pity they lost to the 'admiral'-led spurs in the conference finals. -
Admiral led? You mean David Robinson? I thought he retired in 2003?Originally posted by BillyBong:Pistons is the one true team that epitomies teamwork. There are no real stars save one and they play off each other.

don't understand why would phil jackson want to go back to lackers, good players liek shaq, fisher, fox etc have already left. with 9 championship rings on his fingers, he should have just retire or something. seeing the state lackers is in now, don't count on the team to win you your tenth ring in the next few sessions.

its all about the money.... maybe the laker chairman oso promised to bring in talent enuff to win the championship ring this season or next lo...Originally posted by Gordonator:don't understand why would phil jackson want to go back to lackers, good players liek shaq, fisher, fox etc have already left. with 9 championship rings on his fingers, he should have just retire or something. seeing the state lackers is in now, don't count on the team to win you your tenth ring in the next few sessions. -
Lakers fan checking in.
Last season was a total disaster. From losing key players, Shaq, Payton. Fisher, Horry to acquiring misfiring Butler, Jones and Vlade Divac, it was a season better forgotten.
This year, newcomer Smush Parker looks impressive at PG. Hopefully, he can bring in some consistent scoring for the team and relieve some of the responsilbility off Kobe's shoulders.
It'll take a mammoth effort to win the title again. Difficult but definitely not impossible. Especially when you have someone like Kobe Byrant in the team. If the Lakers can successfully build a team around Kobe this time round, LA will have as good a shot at the title as anyone else. -
Kobe is a big-time charlie..
He might think that he's a superstar.. but he ain't no Jordan..
That's my honest opinion.. no offense thou.. -
Yeah, sometimes, his ego can get the better of himself. If only he could work things out with Shaq. A Shaq-Kobe partnership could win a couple more championships.That'll be good for the team, fans and players themselves.Originally posted by Jeno:Kobe is a big-time charlie..

Michael Jordan is a living legend. What he accomplished in his basketball career is amazing. I don't think there's anyone presently that can be compared with MJ. Not Kobe, not Duncan and definitely not the much praised Lebron. They're all good players in their own way but personally no where near MJ.
