    I'm not going to waste any breath defending Radmo here, because I hated him for the entirety of his tenure with the team, and I once almost hit him with my car (some may remember my post about this on CL, which received some photoshop love) because I assumed I would receive a favorable jury in Los Angeles.

    BUT, if we're going to discuss the genesis of Paul Pierce's lone ring, we can't just ignore Sasha, who, after having ONE GOOD GAME in the finals (game 3), at the end of his ONE GOOD SEASON EVER, completely choked away the rest of the series, including going 1-9 in the pivotal game 4. I will forever blame him for that finals defeat.

    Re: Vujacic...and letting Allen coast by him for a lay-in that sealed the game. So agitated on the bench that he slapped Mihm's hand away who attempted to console him. It wasn't just Vujacic however...the whole squad developed tight sphincters.

    Kob’s new kicks drop this week and they were highlighted over the weekend at the Drew by DeRozan and the Mamba himself...





    Even tho DeMar was there to see Kob do his thang, it's Harden that really needs to be the one promoting Kob's A.D.s @ the Drew...

    Dang, he still had a lot to give to the game before that achilles injury. Such a bummer...

    Such a shame. If it wasn't for his achilles, I think we would of had another 2-3 yrs of Kobe at that level. Heck, he might still be playing today.

    Well, when you can invest $6 million and things really do well/work out it's gonna be amazing. Not that it was a risk but for the average person investing $6 million into a product/company would be a big risk. Big risk = big reward. But that quickly is amazing. I'd love to know what the return would be if say someone invested $1,000.

    I'm kind of in the middle of the road on this. I'm proud that Kobe has so many supporters, an army basically around him. But at the same time some of those fans just need to chill (i.e. Lebron coming to LA murals being destroyed).

    A funny, weird, and introspective look/read into certain players fans from a panel of reporters, media members.

    Haha, this one quote to the question:

    Question: HOW WILL KOBE STANS REACT TO LEBRON IN LA?

    I think Rob hits the nail on the head when it comes to Lakers fans and how we feel.

    Another one I really agree with

    Never really dealt with Bron stans (now hatahs that's another story haha). But I had plenty of exposure to Kobe stans and they're by far the worst.

    The narrative that Kob didn't have help when he was playing with Smush and Chucky Atkins is totally understandable...but how the flying f*** did Kob not have help and need to carry the team with Pau and LO on the squad? That was my #1 gripe with Kobe stans... they never allowed the slightest critique of Kob and instead lets pile on his supporting cast (a supporting cast that also included the winningest coach in NBA history).

    And the time will come when Bron costs us games on the defensive end. When I and others go in on him during that time, let's see how bad the Bron stans will be. But to date, Kob stans, goddamn they're a ghoulish bunch.
