Cuban: Happy Lakers Got Artest

Yeah I don't get it, but I don't see any of the other Spurs fans making the same silly claims so i'm assuming he's just trolling or just really, really, really, really hates kobe, as opposed to just really, really hating him like most do.

You got it - sort of. Spurs fans don't make silly claims about the greatness of their superstar that can't be backed up in any way. That's what Kobe fans do. I have to point out the difference between a "Lakers fan" and a "Kobe fan" in this case.

Kobe has trouble getting out of the first round without at least one perennial all-star around him. When Kobe gets shut out in the fourth quarter of a closeout game in the playoffs, it's gotta be Smush Parker's fault.

Pau Gasol was an All-Star once before joining the Lakers; doesn't really qualify as a perennial All-Star.

Reality is, Kobe really did take a cast of non-stars to a Ring last year.

Pau was known for being a soft pansy for years now. Even Spurs fans were laughing at Pau last year. Memphis couldn't get rid of him quick enough.

Lamar Odom was a pot-smoker and inconsistent. He probably wouldn't make most people's list of top Power Fowards... , he even lost his starting job on the Lakers.

Trevor Ariza, was traded from the Knicks, warmed the bench in Orlando and supposedly sucked and wouldn't have made a difference

Derek Fisher wouldn't even sniff the Top 15 PG's in the NBA list.

Andrew Bynum is a no-name only hyped by Laker fans

Farmar, Vujacic, Shannon Brown, DJ mBenga, Adam Morrison...are these guys even NBA players?

The only guy out of the whole bunch to make it to All-Star weekend was Pau Gasol, and that was only once prior to coming to the Lakers. Everybody else pretty much made their name as a Laker. Now that Ariza's no longer a Laker, he'll probably be forgotten in a few years.

They ain't laughin' no more.
