    I love Kobe as much as a man can love another man but please NO. Come to the training facility, be around the team, train with the young guys... just don't suit up. Your legacy is safe man...























    unless Bron is sharing his longevity supplements with you :D

    First of all, why yall hating on Shaq? Try having his genetic predisposition, having big toe complications (hallux limitus) and then treating (abusing) that condition with corticosteroids where common side effect are weight gain, stomach irritation accompanied with increase in appetite.

    Unless yall think feet naturally look this way...

    ...and its common for 7 feet stiffs to all have the foot work that Shaq had and that a big toe doesn't affect said foot work and how effective you are in the post, why s*** on Shaq when you guys have absolutely no idea what that man has been through with his health and treatment?

    Anyways, there was a member here that went by LittleBirdie saying how Kob was aiming on a comeback...Shaq's troll game has evolved, cause normally he would have given it away by going by TheBigBirdie...still, we're on to you big fella!

    I think there's very little chance it happens. Even if they win a title, does Kobe want #6 with LeBron where Kobe is more or less a side show who gets 15-20 minutes a night? He's not coming off the bench, so who is losing minutes to him?

    I'd give this rumor 0.5% chance of legitimacy only because I bet if/when LeBron wins a title wearing our jersey, Kobe is going to be unhappy about it. :D

    No way, if Kobe was coming back he’d be running his blackout drills to get back into shape. He looks chunky right now

    Mr. 5 ringsssss coming out of retirement...sure sounds like he needs a new jersey number. Better have a Hart to Hart with management, cause I'm sure they ain't taking those retired jerseys down for anyone, including the Mamba.

    I really was not joking about Kobe planning to return. He's modeling his game after Jordan's low post/wing gameplay that Jordan adapted to in his elder years (and did very well I might add). He's put on quite a bit of muscle, that's not all fat folks, he'll shed that very quickly with his routine. He's got a new move he drops his shoulder foward into his defender and creates space and quickly transitions into a stepback angled jumped. It's not going to be a fadeaway only show. That's why he's bulked up.

    Kobe just simply enjoys what he is doing currently to change that up.

    So the Lakers are going to cut... who from this roster? They've given solid money to Pope, Beasley, Stephenson, and Rondo. They're not cutting their current/recent draft picks in Mykhailiuk, Wagner, Kuzma, Ball, Hart, or Ingram. LeBron is here. We have only Zubac and McGee as real Centers. Bonga and Deng are possibilities, but we just invested in Bonga.

    Are we waiving Deng to accommodate Kobe?

    OK. With your 3 posts now and continuing to say you are serious, would you care to explain where this is coming from? You already said something about the Warriors had interest and someone else a few pages back had to look up some random kidding type comment someone in their front office said quite awhile ago about wanting him, and no one took that seriously.

    As far as Shaq it was simply him f****** with the TMZ reporter after the guy asked HIM if he was coming back to play with LeBron. Look at the expression on his face after he said it.

    So ... as I or we asked before are you claiming some kind of insider knowledge here? Are you still maintaining it was about the Warriors? No one here believes he would move away from being a lifelong same team Laker.

    How about fleshing this out some and giving a reason for what you are saying and / or supplying a proper link? Or as sirron has aptly indicated above .....
