Why not champion material now? That was all the talk all season and all playoffs. Let's keep it 100, those 4 rings were forged on Shaq's back. No Shaq no ring period. I'll give Kobe 2 but, those squads were stacked. Bron and Dwade are doing more with far less than any LA championship team ever had. Can you imagine if Bron had Shaq in his prime? I saw Kobe in high school and played against Mcgrady in high school among a lot of other former and current nba players....Lebron was light years ahead of Kobe and is far better than Kobe @ this age minus being a champion. You tripping if, you honestly believe he hasn't done anything....can you imagine how many chips LA would have if, you removed Kobe from the equation and put Bron in?

Pau sucks and is too soft and needs to go.....I don't know why some stick up for him. It's like Alex Smith with my 9ers dude sucks dick. A girl....really Pau a broad. smh

Whether you'd like to believe it or not BGriff is the best player in LA. Kobe is like an old ass boxer @ this point. He's been on the decline for a few years now. The teams he's been on have shadowed his abysmal performances in the playoffs of years past and this year when they all checked out yall were left exposed.

Where's the superstar? You need a Young superstar! I'm sure you'll get a fine roster on paper but, what superstar could you possibly get besides DHow? Who btw will not get you a chip. KD, Melo(should of pulled the trigger on that one), Bron, Dwade all are spoken for, outside of them who could usher in a new laker dynasty? Realistically!!!

LeBron is a scrub compared to Kobe...He's Dominique Wilkins at best so far in his career...Lakers always get the best big man in the league while they shine in their prime...Dwight Howard loves him some Hollywood and you can best bet Kobe will get his next season with him... Kobe has bad knees....but saying he's done after all those poster dunks in the first round against the Hornets is crazy talk....he's not dominate as he used to be...but guess what....Kobe is still the smartest player in the league and no one will ever get 5 rings in this era..

BGriff doesnt have the defensive game yet
or much of an outside game
he has nice hops and good timing
sorry.
pau is a better player than blake griffin. ouch for blake hahaha

brons done some nice things minus a championship. true. i will also add that "at least he's been there" in regards to finals experience. but 'Nique like at least on paper.

kobe is not like alex smith dude wow
montana, yeah. steve young, yeah. alex smith - no.
i remember a time Jordan stopped driving the lane and developing a killer jumpshot. i think folks said he had gotten a little older, a little wiser. maybe im not remembering right though hahaha

hey miami up 3-1 to boston is a death knell for bostons squad... they are going to need to reload too. ainge is gonna finally get a chance to show the league if he has any gm skills or was just friends with the right people cough cough kevin mchale cough cough
i wish they (the celts) wouldve kept perkins... i think he and rondo = a pretty solid core... but im no gm hehe.

im kinda curious how the bulls are gonna go at the heat. rose is mvp, noah is a stud (i wish he was a laker) and booz is automatic 3 out of 4 playoiff games hahaha.

who said kobe and alex smith? i said pau...some people stick up for pau like alex smith. anyway, pau gasol is better than blake griffin? huh? Pau isn't the caliber of player Bgriff is now

BGriff as a rookie 22, 12, and 3
Pau 18, 10, and 3

Jordan didn't stop dunking on people cuz he didn't have the bounce anymore like kobe, he refined his game cuz players kept attacking him when he was flying through the air. He always had a tremendous jay. Kobe wouldn't have the moves he has now if, Jordan didn't embarrass him like he did in the '98 allstar game. He's said it himself. 90% of his game came from jordan.

your speaking far too soon homie. Bron has been in the league half as long. don't you worry the Bron championship dynasty starts now. Witness!!!

Kobe is not Jordan! even though that's who he's patented his game after.

I never dick ride(no homo) I'm a G but, you got kobe as your avatar. I ain't mad @ you but, if, that ain't dick riding(no homo) idk what is.

ah... pau and alex smith. okay. yeah i can buy that

how far did blake carry the clips into the playoffs err playoff race?

kobe has so little bounce he made okafor a few bucks from poster sales... did you not see that? kobe is not ron artest... cmon man what ?!?

hey, jordan is a great guy to steal game from hahaha.
isnt lebron trying to be the new magic?

they played us well during the regular season but, the regular season means absolutely nothing. a playoff series is totally different and we were finding chemistry etc. totally different team now and each of those games were close. i see them winning two games @ most with a sweep being a high possibility.

drose is a terrible shooter and no other player can create their own shot besides deng. they've hung their hat on defense all season but, that d hasn't showed up in the playoffs. joakim isn't a scorer and boozer has been in foul trouble every single game of the playoffs. they need another player to create and take the pressure off of drose in order to be a legit contender.

only one team has ever won a chip with the pg leading the team in field goal attempts IsaiahT in 90 but, that team was stacked. the baby bulls have a ton of holes which have really become evident in the playoffs.

true on bgriff. i tell you what though they're next! their team is really young though but, i can see them making a serious push next season. bgriff is only going to get better and this off season he'll have some help via a trade or free agency.

yeah, i saw kobe but, okafor is only like 6'9 and to be honest he wasn't that high he just avoided his block attempt. definitely one of his weaker facials. i like kobe though.

bron draws magic comparisons cuz of his size, unselfishness, passing ability, vision, and court awareness but, he's far more dominant and rounded than magic. better shooter, defender, i won't say ball manager but, he definitely has a better handle.

chemistry is what killed the lakers...

fucking aye man

im hoping kobe is straightening out vanessa for her encouragement of sylvia (i think thats her name haha) leaving of pau when she did. she ruined the fragile chemistry needed for teams to win championships repeatedly. and probably cost her household some money, too

magic was winning finals mvps (and championships) as a rookie, for conversation's sake.... magic had a better handle on rings its fair to say

Dude this guy Capital G doesnt know basketball too well.....Magic played center in the finals for an injured Kareem and won the FInals...Lebron will never sniff a moment so great in his career....5 rings against insane competiton.... Pistons ....Bulls...Celtics.... lol Many can argue Magic was better then Jordan....so Lebron doesnt even deserve to be metioned in that company...think more like Charles Barkely and Karl Malone :)

Huh? I know ball like Shantiba knows dank! First off, LA has ZERO rings as Da Bulls being a finals opponent. True many can argue magic over Jordan but, what about your who has the most rings argument......if, that were the case wouldn't Bill Russell be the best.

As far as Lebron well, you seem to dislike the guy a little too much. Why idk but, you seem to know the future. This finals will definitely be full of Lebron greatness. Witness!!! If, the book were closed then you might have an argument but, you have @ least another decade to tune into.

LeBron is an amazing talent dude...dont get me wrong...your just giving way too much credit to a guy who has yet to establish greatness for himself....

Bill Rusells Titles are a joke....what was there like 10 NBA teams back then with a bunch a 5'9 White dudes against the Leagues First Super Dominate Big Man? Those records to me are whack....just like When Wilt CHamberlin would predict what stats he'd lead the league in b4 the season even started!!!

LeBron isnt even in the Finals and your acting like he just smashed on the Bulls...last I heard D Rose was the MVP and from the looks of it....Bulls will defeat the Heat when they meet. D Rose will be unstoppable vs Miami

I'm surprised that there hasn't been talk about Bynum's 5 game suspension. I think it's appropriate. He laid out a similar jumping elbow shot to Beasley of the Timberwolves back in March that resulted in his ejection. This is the NBA not street ball. 5 games seems appropriate this time. The part about the suspension that I don't like is how much money he'll be losing. Charles Barkley brought this up last night, and I never would have thought about this aspect. He's being fine's 25 thousand by the league and then has to forfeit pay for five games which is about 700 thousand dollars. In this sense it seems excessive. I'm sure he can absorb it much better than many of us can though. Heck just selling his modified Ferrari F430 would cover it.

Thoughts?

Bynums suspension and loss of pay is appropriate. Im sure losing 700gs isnt fun but dude makes something like 140gs per game... So 75 regular season games after suspension x140g = 10.5 million.
Ive watched bynums exit press and hes genuinely sorry about the foul to barrea. But dude was pissed they were getting embarrassed and not playing at all like they shouldve been... I wish he wouldve elbowed pau instead haha
Hindsight is always 20/20 haha
