NBA: Source: Melo Will Go To Lakers If Kobe Promises Championship

[whitemamba]

And if you want crappy analogies "6" is more like

1. Like busting a early nut while waiting for Paula patton or Scar Jo and you cant get it back up ...
2. Like hitting the winning lotto numbers but losing the ticket ...
3. having tickets to the SB, Final four or World Cup and getting stuck in traffic or missing your flight ...

I could go on but who cares ... do what you have to do DMC, because I am worried about your well being I think if you have kids or pets they would probably have bruises from misplaced anger so if bashing Kobe and the lakers help ...by all means.

A preview of a NBA season and reporting a story that happened after the fact are entirely two different things.
As much as most of the are low-rent hacks, I find ESPN (especially Grantland) and CNN/SI reporting on sporting events to be fair to quite good. Predicting how a season will play out unless you choose the favorites is something else.

And It's not that I care that the media went after Pop or Tim I like them both. It's almost as if they know how grave "6" was and are having mercy on their poor souls. the SI piece I posted was not mean spirited... in fact, you could almost feel the sympathy dripping from the pages. That is why I brought up the Pats. If the Cowboys, Falcons or Lions had lost a SB the way Brady did his past few tries ... heck even if Peyton lost the last two SB's his one breakthrough would of been considered a fluke. Or to use hoops as that same article pointed out, Lebron as great as he is, would of been skewered for a finals loss SPo would be on a hotseat yet Pop and Tim got a pass ...that is the point. the media's "value" is irrelevant.

The bigger point is once a narrative is written ..it's hard to change.
Tim is clutch.
Pop is a great coach.
Brady is clutch.
Bill is amazing.
Bill B choked.
Tom Brady choked twice ...
Lebron is clutch.
Lebron is clutch .
Kobe is not clutch
Kobe is clutch.
"6"

All are true at some point yet the media drives the story they want to stick ... which is why I have such disdain for MVP awards ... Lebron winning has restored some "faith" but the award has been crap since the tail end of Mj's prime ...

just because they get it right every blue moon, doesnt make the award any less ty ...

MVP are Media's Pick award...the only reason Kobe even has 1 is because Larry Bird of all people threatened to invalidate the award by giving all of his back if they didn't give it to Kobe...he said Kobe was the best player of his generation and was shocked at the biased treatment...I guess the media didn't expect to hear such a stern threat from Larry...it's why Larry Bird and Magic are equals in my view....Larry stepping up like that for Kobe showed me something I never expected

You were getting your pushed in with Kobe, Howard, Nash, Gasol and Artest in the lineup.

Who are you kidding?

lol Noble death to get swept game slider style at home, yet a "failure" for an old team who goes the distance against the defending champs in the Finals. Are you really this intellectually dishonest IRL?

Making excuses for the abuser ...
Classic victim mentality they are "old"
no one expected it ....
everyone almost counted us out ...
Sounds like the same Kool is peddling tbh ...

Well aren't the Lakers your team? If not, please correct me. Your username and team affiliation has misled me.

Here's how it works: If your team beat mine, talk mad . If your team got swept the out, you cannot talk any . You cannot use injury as an excuse when it occurred so late in the season. You cannot use any excuses and you cannot just dismiss the loss as insignificant. It was an historical blowout at Staples Center. You need to come to grips with that. So far the large majority of you Lakers fans have refused to acknowledge it because "Kobe wasn't playing". Are you the LA Lakers or the LA Kobes?

Read what I said we failed miserably ...
We got swept. No excuses offered here.
the 2013 spurs and the 2014 Spurs are much better than the Lakers versions ...
Kudos.
Doesnt change "6".
And again I dont mean that as trolling.
Like I said I know it hurts.

"We failed miserably" -You

Deal with that. We caused your failure. I'll deal with that.

You obviously cannot back up your "failure" claim. Did you expect the Spurs to win the WCF and take the Heat to 7 games? If so, just show the link.

Yep.
Yall put us to bed.
No excuses about age ...
you see how that works?

[DMC]

lol chicken euphemisms "put us to bed" but using "failure" otherwise.

Stick with that though. Deal with that pain. Don't worry about any pain I might feel for something your team didn't inflict.

DMC regulating Caprisun as the chimp brain talks nonsense and regurgitates the same washed up bull from 3 years ago

Getting slapped by Funt and revealed as a desperate fool as you pathetically tried to save face (only making you look even more pathetic) must have really damaged you

[weebo]

Damn, DMC just destroying dat laka azz….

[tlongII]

all he wants to hear is that Kobe hasn't given up...why do you guys not have the perceptive ability to read between the lines...once again I'm baffled by the level of naivete, gullibility, and lack of general / basic understanding by the ST masses

It doesn't matter if Kobe has given up or not. He's done as an elite player in the league. The only reason Melo would go there is to hang with his pal. It would have nothing to do with winning a championship.

Failure abject failure.
Disappointment.
Pathetic.
All of it applies to the Lakers in both 2013 and 2014 ...
Yours only applies for 28 seconds so for almost 8 months things were quite glorious including a sweep of the hated lakers ... but in 28 seconds none of that mattered. We still suck and you are still stuck at 5.
I take no pleasure in the Heat's victory. I enjoy Lebron but cant stand bosh, battier or Wade.

that ray though has won me over ...now he is not a Celtic ....
Bang! just like that ....
