Lakers: Lol Lakersground: Part 2

[midnightpulp]

Another great AirApparent take:

"No arguments from me here. Magic is easily one of the greatest winners ever along with MJ, Kobe, Kareem and Wilt."

Wilt? A great winner? Since when? Stat , definitely. But the guy couldn't even lead a stacked Kansas team to a National le around the same time Bill Russell was leading the irrelevant San Francisco University to back-to-back les.

LG posters

Same person right?

OK, after a long break, I am back to provide this forum with some much needed basketball expertise.


I guess Kori finally has forgiven me for the porn links!


Good luck in the playoffs, you are my pick to win it all (assuming my Lakers don't of course


Someone tell Jim to send my prescription, my probation officer said it is OK.

u guys got a major hard on for LG, what do you expect its a Laker Forum, where the laker fan base not anyone else discuss basketball... if they are bias no , same for the most of posters here, minus a few, but the majority is always favoring their team. You guys need to get over this LG storm you cant help but keep jumping into.

You know youre right in that upstairs posters and LG posters arent that different. They both cry about LeBron being the NBAs posterboy and their stars being overlooked. The refs screwing their respective teams. Stern not liking their organization. Only difference is none of those things are even remotely true when it comes to the Lakers. Those guys are ing delusional.

LOL Laker fans complaining about officiating when Bryant got two free throws against those same Warriors for snapping his own ing achilles.

PS: If we had a healthy Kobe we would have decimated them. He's torched them every playoff series.

Yeah, the same Lakers that barely snuck into the playoffs with Kobe wouldve decimated the Spurs. And I thought we had some stupid people on ST.

One of AirApparent's "insightful" takes:

Guy has probably never seen Magic play, probably in his early or mid 20's. Has youtubed a few clips of Magic and believes Kobe is greater. I have no problem with Kobe tbh, I just think he really ed this season up in alot of ways, I guess to each their own. LG'ers see it as Kobe saved the season, and there is truth to that as well.

The reality is, the only chance Kobe really had of winning a le this year or anytime soon was if he took a back pedal from his role as the "ULTIMATE" alpha dog, and allowed the team to help him. Afterall, that is what he claimed he wanted since he felt older and didn't have the athleticism. But the reality sank into me as a Laker fan, when the preseason started and he was already boasting during training camp," BTW, for those of you wondering, this is still MY TEAM." It was already over, and with him taking 30-40 shots per game and refusing to let Nash and Howard do his thing, KB24 proved that he wants to win his way, alas he will forever remain with 5 championships...not bad tbh but it could have been more if he was more of a facilitator

I know I clown the guy for getting buttsexed and for the resulting HIV and then passing the gay gene onto his kid, but yeah, Magic was absolutely ridiculous to watch. I mean the league has never seen anyone who could make the passes Magic did. Watching him take a big hesitation step, wind his arm back, and fire a Nolan Ryan fastball right through a tiny gap in the defense to a cutting Worthy on the break is something I have never seen anyone else do, and he did it once or twice a game. I mean there is no one close to as devastating a passer as Magic; not James, not Ginobili, not Kidd, etc. Anyone who never got to watch Magic play (Bird too) seriously missed out and needs to buy some full-game DVDs or something. Magic is sadly going to end up seriously underrated as the years go by since he doesn't have the crazy dunks of guys like Jordan, James, Bryant, McGrady, etc (same for Bird IMO; people already starting to do revisionist history on his career).

I agree with you that Kobe's a quitter, but just not in that case. LOL Prime Kobe leading his team to the biggest upset loss in playoff history and then the lottery.

[baseline bum]

[FkLA]

Couldn't agree more.

Kobe constantly gets the ball with less than 5 seconds left, and so has to take desperation shots. He's also not scared to take the needed three when the games on the line, as a pose to passing it out. Lastly, sure he has a lower percentage, but take the Toronto game this year as an example: anyone who says that if Lebron were in the exact same situation as Kobe, that an identical result would follow, is COMPLETELY out of their minds.

lol at statistics.

Not surprised an LG Legend is a in' moron, per par. Duncan pretty much led the team in all categories (aside from the guard stats like assists and steals). If anyone is to blame for the '04 debacle, it's your boy A.I. and his 38% shooting and ball hogging.

I could also bring up how Kobe was carried in both '08 and '12. Lebron and Wade destroyed him statistically both years, and Kirby's much heralded 4th quarter against Spain is perhaps the most overrated performance I've ever seen. Not only did Wade and Chris Paul hit more shots down the stretch, but Kobe's vaunted "doberman" defense let Rudy in' Fernandez go off for 22 points.

Also Fiba. Patty Mills was the leading scorer in London.

[midnightpulp]

I'll always get a kick out of this vintage Olympic performance from Kirby:

remember this?

[midnightpulp]

remember this?

Yep. I also remember Rudy Fernandez dropping buckets on him.

I also remember Wade's 27 points on 9/12 shooting and him hitting the clutchest shot of the game after a Kobe brick and fast break 3 by Spain that cut lead to 4.

[DAF86]

Kobe was just lucky he didn't have to face that '04 Manu and Argentina team, tbh, imho. Having prime Lebron, Wade, Melo, CP3, etc. as teammates helped too.

[scanry]

Kobe's 08 Olympics is overated as . Wade was by far the best player in the finals and in the tournament and Rudy f@ckin Fernandez had a better finals game than Kobe.
