Magic Johnson props the Mavericks, calls Bynum out

[Killakobe81]

Telling someone to be smarter doesn't work. You have to hire smart people. If we just needed to know "be smarter", Ron Arrest wouldn't be suspended for game 3 because I am sure he's heard that a few times in his life.

But artest has been smarter ...he just had a "relapse" LOL. and i dont agree with your premise. Drew is young he can learn. Kobe is still an ass but as he has matured he has learned some things. Im not saying you can change personalities but you can learn media savy ...politicians, artists etc. have coaches for stuff like that. That is his agent's job. But by all accounts, his agnet is an ass ...so who knows?

Magic needs to STFU. Yes, he had a stellar playing career and I fully appreciate the 9 Showtime Finals appearances and 5 les he has. But ever since the Lakers started winning again it's like he feels threatened. His legacy is safe - no need to pop off at the mouth. When the Lakers were not winning les (after he retired), he didn't say . Now that they are he can't keep quiet.

Although he doesn't need the money, the only reason he is on BSPN's payroll is because he is a former Laker who could give those clowns more "inside access" to the team. He is officially a BSPN "company man" now that he sold his 5% ownership to the Lakers.

I wonder if the Admiral ever publicly talked about TD or the Spurs in general? I wonder if Larry Bird ever publicly talked about Pierce (pre KG/Ray Allen) or the Celtics in general? On both accounts: doubtfull and I'm sure there are other examples.

Magic has done a ton for the Lakers as a player. Even when he popped positive for HIV, the Lakers and their fans (like me) stood by him. Now he talking about Bynum would have been thrown off the team if Riley were the coach? Is that a jab at PJ? It's ironic because he got Westhead canned years ago.

Loved Magic for what he did for the Lakers, but I'm done with him. Just how he says Bynum should have kept that private, he should have kept his comments private too. And what 52 year old goes on Twitter anyway? Oh well.

Then there is the rest of the world, who treat these people like the lunatics they are

Kobe seems fed up with Magic's Twitter comments. Can't say I blame him.

Kobe Bryant, who is tied with Johnson with five championship rings as a member of the Lakers, did not pay much credence to the franchise legend's stance on the subject.

"What the do I care?" Bryant said. "It means nothing, whether he said it or not doesn't really mean a damn thing. We just got to win a game."

The team seems fed up with Kobe being a all the goddamn time

He's been more reserved, but not smarter. You aren't going to make Cro-Magnon smarter without evolution.

No, but, you can make him back up Pierce long enough to get it off.

tee, hee.
