I'll agree with that...while I wasn't thrilled w/ is attitude when arriving to the NBA I think he's matured a great deal and represents himself very well for only 24 (He could be successful teaching behavior classes to guys like Artest and sheed)

And you gotta root for the guy..he's well on his way to doing some great historical things...very cool.

Edit: Almost forgot --- Go KINGS!:p

you shouldn't have edited, i would have liked your post better ;)

How come no one said anything bad about the champion Chicago Bulls back in the day... Oh yea, they faded away like a bad hairdo, but thats not the point

hahaha...hey, if they can pull off a 4peat after the season they've had then you can't deny they deserve it...either way I'm looking forward to some good playoff games in the west...think we're in for another let down championship series though...

i wouldn't be surprised if the championship series went 4-0 or 4-1, again....... you're right... the west bracket is gonna be fun... especially after the 1st round... conference semis... gonna have the lakers, kings, spurs, and mavs.... that'd be sick... awesome games to watch....

And your Portland Trailblazers are a pinnacle of good comportment. I can't remember the last time any starter on the Lakers was busted for Pot or assaulting his babysitter. Oops, there's 3/5 of your starting lineup


For you complaining about Kobe, he's no different than any other star in the league looking for a call, Jordan included. Watch AI complain, there's a whiny bitch.

They're a cheap, low-life, almost-cheating type team. They win by playing cheap. And that is sh|tty. They don't have tallent, they have a bunch of conmen.

I think complaining is a great idea, as long as you don't get a technical. It makes the ref pay more attention to whoever you've complained against, and also puts doubt into the ref's mind. Hell, if everyone else is doing it, I don't see why it's a big deal that Kobe does it too.

After the 1st round? What are you talking about....the entire Western playoff bracket will be intense from the get-go. I mean, I think the Lakers will play either the Spurs or the Trailblazers in the first round. That's not going to be a cake walk. It's gonna be crazy...the whole damn Western Conference is scary

true, but after the first round, you prob'ly won't have minnesota, houston, or the jazz... that leaves only teams with either extremely potent offense, or extremely potent defense, with a few high fly acts mixed inbetween :p

People will always hate the best and pick and complain about anything.

They are up their for a reason and that is because they have talent or are good at scoring. Shaq well he does whatever to score and the name of the game is to score as many baskets as possible. In my opinion hes not that skilled but he scores and thats tough against good players and the players he plays against are all Pro's. Got to give that to him.


They are ALL going to complain. Who really cares?
