Yup, I still hate fishers guts.
To be fair, Magic went up against stacked teams as well.
Agreed, but his comment was stupid
This all comes back to Shaq
Magic would have accepted the Robin role for longer than Kobe and won more rings. Knowing that eventually his time would come. Kobe was too young and immature to realize that.
Just think. If Stern does his job and X's the Gasol trade, Kobe is still playing alongside Kwame Brown and has 0 rings post Shaq Era. who knows if Kobe is even a Laker today
The Gasol trade completely changed Kobe's legacy.
Without the Gasol trade: Kobe is compared to Allen Iverson. Instead, Elite post player falls in his lap in arguably the weakest era of post players in modern NBA history and he's now compared to Magic Johnson. Any NBA fan knows you give Iverson Shaq, Gasol, and/or Bynum and he wins rings too. So why should I be so impressed with Kobe because he's Derek Jeter & plays on the Yankees of the NBA. It was the Yankees/Lakers before those players arrived and will be long after they retire. Kobe never built anything
It wasn't Stern's job to axe the Gasol trade. Besides, if Memphis doesn't make that trade, they wouldn't have Zebo who is their best player now.
Ignore the racist. He trolling.
The trade was absolutely ABSURD
Do I have to link the Smith comments following the deal?
Grizzlies had a better W/L record the 3 seasons before the trade. So why the would you deal your best player to an in conference opponent?
Lakers go from:
No Playoffs
1st Round Out
1st Round Out
to
3 Straight Finals?
The trade was fkn absurd. No way the NFL or MLB would accept that
MJ won 0 rings in the '80s. Explain.
He/his team wasn't good enough
So league expansion changed his legacy. Without it, he's LeBron.
tired old bag Kobe yelling on every shot.
God damn Brewer is ing stupid.. twice he has ed up fast breaks.
Best game so far today. Both teams playing great defense.
Who you rooting for brah?![]()
Hey !
Hehowelahey ......................
The Grizzlies were trying to dump salary. They had offered Gasol to the Bulls for Deng but the Bulls declined from what I read. The Grizzlies were in rebuilding mode. They weren't going anywhere. Were they getting better offers elsewhere? Basically, they dumped salary, added Marc Gasol and got enough cap room to get Zebo and they were one game away from the WCF and are a legitimate threat this season. Yeah it was a great move for the Lakers, but Stern doesn't have the right to veto that move if it falls under the cap rules.
Facing failure and improving changed MJ's legacy
ing, threatening to leave & having an elite post player fall in your lap changed Kobe's legacy
Don't get mad that Kobe is being exposed for what most of us knew all along. It's just funny to see Magic finally voice it. I thought he was gonna be a like Michael Thompson, for the rest of his life.
LOL we probably don't win ...but haters that were hoping we wpould get what the Mavs got today are disappointed ...
Saw the halftime score, now see the lead has melted.
Turn on the tube, Bryant at the line.
16-5 fts favoring the Frauds.![]()
