Lakers: Kobe fully cleared

[tlongII]

LeBron's jersey outsells Kobe's. LeBron is the face of the NBA now.

[Michael Jordan.]

He's waiting for:

- the Lakers to be coming off a loss
- the Lakers to play a ty team

Pretty simple, tbh..

Yup. Like 60% of his highest scoring games came against bottom 10 defenses.

As of April this year Carmelo was the top selling jersey. Doesn't mean , honestly.

As of October it is Lebron. It absolutely is relevant.

I'm pretty sure Kobe being out with a blown achilles has nothing to do with his jersey sales

[NRHector]

just admit it fellas. y'all all be tuning in to Kobe's comeback game. He will draw bigger audiences than any games this season yet.

he will draw in mass media from china, where he is the kang.

still, IMO the first 5-10 games will be dangerous for kobe, the possibility of one of his legs exploding again is very high in that timeframe imo

If Kobe plays and they lose he'll make up an injury and if they win he'll say that he is not 100% healthy but he wanted to help his team

better not pull a Derrick Rose, tbh

But if he does, I'm sure Kirbystan will have an excuse at the ready

I don't think in April or at anytime was Carmelo considered the face of the NBA despite him having the top selling jersey.

he has too much pride to come back at less than 100%
he only knows how to dominate

[spurraider21]

imo its hard for Kobe to sell the most jerseys when 90% of NBA fans already have his jersey since he was #1 in sales for a while

It's like the post-pc era that Apple fan s try to propagate. You can't sell PCs like hotcakes when the market is already saturated

[Rogue]

It'll only take their excuse away when they lose a game per par, don't see how Kobe's return will escalate this team much higher than they currently are.

As for most popular player, of course it's Kobe, he has the most delusional, cult following of any player in sports history, including Dad Killer..it's the only thing I admire about him, he's the greatest media manipulator in sports history, he has single-handedly dictated his own legacy through the media..

If he had chosen a different route, he could have easily been a successful politician, maybe even president, tbh..

truth

lol
