Magic: Lakers are old, Dallas is a young team that will be around for sometime

[lurker]

Said this on Conan tonight. :lmao

[DMC]

They said that about the Spurs 2 rings ago.

[DJ Mbenga]

interesting since the mavs are older than the lakers.

[Nick Manning]

The comedienne Conan has on right now is crashing and burning...hard to watch

Great player, bad analyst

[TheManFromAcme]

Great player, bad analyst

a :rolleyes would almost be in order but you are absolutely right about my boy Earv....

[The Gemini Method]

Yeah, I don't get how the Mavs are younger than the Lakers...not that it matters for both teams because they both have the owners that command a top-flight team. I don't know why anyone would ever sound the death knell for the Lakers...they've been in the mix forever. They'll be fine...no doubt.

[Spurtacus]

Why do people still call him Magic? He retired 15 years ago. Clearly the 'magic' is gone.

Mr. Earvin Johnson is wrong and right. Mavs are older but Mavs also have a shot at winning it as long as Dirk plays at his current level. The West is wide open with the Spurs & Lakers decline.

[The Gemini Method]

He is still Magic...

Explain how the fuck he has had HIV for nearly 20 years and it still hasn't become AIDS. That shit, my friend, is truly Magic...

[kamikazi_player]

I think the Mavs window closes next season. Their best chance to win that championship is now. Next season is going to be difficult, assuming that there is a next season.

I remember when AIDs first hit they said only 30% of the cases would evolve from HIV to AIDs. Maybe there was a shred of truth to that and not just a balm to curb the hysteria of the times.

[Jose Canseco]

The Lakers are a classy organization. We win with class. And we lose with class. And we speak with class. I'm embarrassed by these comments by Magic. And I'm sure Dr. Buss is embarrassed as well. Take your whippin like a grown man. And make a comment like a grown man.

That's pretty low if the percentage is correct. I thought it would be much higher. There was a co-worker of mine that had HIV for nearly 10 years and when his C-D4 count got lower than 300 had to retire and lasted another 2 years befoer perishing. Still a problem with 600k deaths in the U.S. amongst the million dead around the world. But, perhaps status and affluence plays a big role in Johnson surviving this long.

Yep. You also thought the spurs were winning it

Great predictions lil niglet :toast

Read between the lines. . . . Kobe has significantly declined

[TheManFromAcme]

Read between the lines. . . . Kobe has significantly declined

...and you read between the lines between the lines

the term "decline" here is used ever so vaguely as is the term "significant".

has he declined? of course. these aren't 24 year old legs but so long as he's serviceable (you can counter as to what defines "serviceable") and he has the supporting cast around him they are more than strong contenders. I don't see why they wont be the second favorites team in the west next season and top 3 to still win it all providing of course they get a decent pg.

NBA fan is counting chickens way before the eggs hatch here and I am quite convinced you have all convinced yourselves of this knowing very well that L.A. is going to be a very strong contender next year. The ones with decent b-ball knowledge know this.

silly fans.
