- I would be a fool if I didn't want the Lakers to go after that dude - should he become "available" one day. Not sure what point you are trying to make. You know that with the few rare occassions (Magic & Worthy come to mind) - the Lakers don't draft for successful le runs. They poach on FAs, make mega-trades, then build around these players. It's their MO - which has been quite successful throughout the years.
I give Shaq his props for leading us to 3-straight Finals wins, but that's where it stops. I don't like him personally (the Sargeant that's banging his mom isn't his biological father. Yet his biological father is basically homeless living in a shelter, but Shaq is a multimillionaire which is foul in my book); Shaq didn't take his craft as seriously as Kobe did. Matter of fact, he was jealous of Kobe, so Kobe had to evict him. He also cursed out our owner (who made him a $120+ millionaire BTW), talked about the LA fanbase as he was packing up his , then finally motivated himself enough to help D-Whistle rang. I'm still pissed that 52 year-old Kevin Willis was beating his ass up an down the court in 2003 because his lardass was too fat to do what he was being paid megamillions to do: stay in shape. He was a professional, but didn't act like it. So forgive me for not sucking him off like other fans. If he had the dedication Kobe has, he'd be the GOAT - not MJ.
So, on multiple levels, your post is full of BS. BTW: I wasn't a member of ST back in 2000-2002. Truth be told, I wasn't into online forums back then (I wasn't a member of LG either). By your logic, I've learned that since I just joined ST in 2010 (never heard of ST before then tbh), that means I'm some sort of bandwaggoner. -15 points son. Here's a little something you might not know about me: I've been a Laker fan since '83. That means I was a fan of Showtime (before Shaq) and I'll be one in a few years after Kobe retires. Name on the front son.
