    2 things:
    1. I want that hoodie and sweat pants.
    2. That little girl (Kobe's youngest?) hanging from the rim is BEYOND awesome.

    I just love this. Can definitely satisfy so much for Kobe with his basketball Jones and give him artistic elite imparted knowledge to these players wonderful satisfaction in doing it. Low pressure totally enjoyable. Damn and look at him teach post skills.

    :FistPump:

    I hope very much me too will leave him alone but wouldn't be surprised if they see an opportunity again as they have in the film industry a couple times now.

    Hell yeah! Book it that is young female Kobe. She just smiled up there. She's going to be like him growing up living it every day. I think. :p

    See this is the **** now that reverberates throughout the Lakers facility. Old school Lakers be damned this is how you totally wrecked your new young talented roster. No running through walls proverbially from these guys any more when they know it's all bull**** from the FO and their superstar new teammate and now unfortunately a Lakers legend with much to give rather instead, who should have done better with his thoughts on this.

    Do you guys remember 2005-06? Kobe Bean Bryant dragged a cadaver of a roster to a 45-37 record for 6th best record in the West (7th seed). Yes, Kobe took Chris Mihm, Kwame Brown, Smush Parker and Lamar Odom to the playoffs. Just from a ppg perspective, it is amazing:

    Kobe - 35.4 ppg
    Lamar Odom - 14.8
    Smush Parker - 11.5
    Chris Mihm - 10.2
    Brian Cook - 7.9
    Kwame Brown - 7.4
    Devean George - 6.3
    Luke Walton - 5.0

    Kobe was an absolute beast. Just from a ppg perspective you wonder, if Kobe had been given a roster like we have this year, what would've happened?

    Kyle Kuzma - 18.5ppg
    Brandon Ingram - 18.3ppg
    Javale McGee 11.1ppg
    KCP - 11.1ppg
    Lonzo Ball - 9.9ppg
    Rajon Rondo - 9.2ppg
    Ivica Zubac - 8.5ppg

    Even with the faster pace today, this Laker roster is more offensively robust. Which team has better defense?

    I’ll be impressed with James Harden when he does this without taking 18 threes and 20 fts per game

    What Harden's doing is impressive, but the pace of the game is probably what you want to consider more than the # of 3s and FTs taken.

    What I think is very impressive about Kobe is that even in an "slower" era, a lot of his scoring accomplishments are still standings. 81 points, 62 in 3 quarters, 60-50-60-50 ... just goes to show you how talented he really was.

    Yeah, Cow tongue is actually pretty good if you know how to prepare it. My parents used it in soups. I would not know about scorpion... I'd assume it tastes similar to crab maybe, but... no idea, really.
