    I couldn’t care less.
    Dude tries to flex and then claims that he’s not.
    Just weird behavior.

    i haven't followed the whole thing, but personally, i'm not super concerned if kobenluka is an internet rando or the actual charles barkley--i'll still probably push back a little on the shaquille ayton assertions.

    now, if he starts claiming knowledge of current nba trade rumors, etc., then yes, i'd start to be concerned about true identities...

    The Ayton comp to Shaq is one of the worst I’ve ever heard.

    It would just be nice to know he is not BS'ing us. If he does have the connections he claims, all good, if he doesn't then he needs to stop with some of his claims. Seems to me, there are a fair number of people around here who are wondering if he is for real.

    He doesn't need to do this for all the users, just to the mods.

    Well...I like Tony Hawk (aka Kobeluka99.) He’s a positive, passionate Lakers fan, there isn't anything wrong with that, at all IMO. As far as I'm concerned, ever since my man showed up around here, things have been on the upswing with the team. I consider his presence a good omen, we are off to a great start this season! Keep talking your s*** brother, all the way to this chip!

    My two cents..

    Sure, still would not be a bad thing if he showed mods his credentials. Past that, all good.

    Based on the typos and formatting, this could easily be Chuck.

    Lol..considering the length on some of his posts, he might be using that talk to text option. I know when I use it, I spend almost as much time editing, as it would have taken to just type!

    Except Chuck’s a Lakers and now Redick hater for the latter taking a shot at how he and his type cover the game now.

    To me it’s a strange situation. No one is questioning his fandom. There’s really no reason for all the name dropping. Could it be true, sure but if I was the one doing it I would expect people to call me out for proof.

    Dude I have the credentials and tried to send them. The files aren’t big enough. I don’t think it’s a big deal. I can easily email them to a mod. It’s not hard to find out or have me email to them as an attachment. Literally the dumbest thing because I do have them.

    What’s weird about it. You’re being a weirdo. I don’t flex. I spazd when I was called out and let em know. I’m just built different. I could really give a f***. Trust I’m very humble. But if you want to get crazy and talk crazy I’ll let you know. I don’t care. Ain’t no one gonna punk me or try to. Simple as that.do what you do. I ain’t really tripping I’m not the I do this and that guy. I just do it. And if I’m good at something I let people know about it. I always been that way. Call me cocky arrogant confident. I really don’t care.

    Wasn’t a comp. I’m not an idiot. It was comparing what this player does to the offense.

    if you really watched Laker basketball you’ve seen I would correct myself I should’ve said since Pau Gasol what a Center with skill like this could do.

    Bynum never had this skill or touch it was force.

    Davis is a power forward.

    so If you really look at it. I went in depth Shaq with his ability in the post how that opened it up for Kobe Shaqs touch around the basket.

    Ayton has opened up the floor for a lot of our players. But you don’t see that.

    Smart LaRavia Luka Reaves Kinect Hachimura.

    I’ve named dropped because you’ve asked for instances my experience. I’m just reflecting on my experiences in sports.

    the s*** is documented. It’s what I experienced. It’s what I lived. There’s nothing to lie about.


    Anybody else could’ve done why didn’t you do it. I had to fly to different cities from college from my apartment come back take mid terms finish midterms in professors offices. Couldn’t play College Football in College. Cause I had an actual job in the NBA.

    I do regret not taking full advantage of the college experience because I just wanted to get out and saw myself as a professional already.

    These validations are pretty clear. Like if you were in the 90s in L.A. you would know that legendary pickup games or runs as they would call them were played at L.A. sports club in west L.A.


    yes playing the Lakers walking out the arenas in the tunnel you’re going to see a Kareem Abdul Jabbar. It’s not starstuck it’s work,

    I’ve had funny instances going through A.C. Greens plastic bag mistaking it for mine and sitting next to him on a plane on Southwest back from Vegas to L.A. it’s just funny s***. But just being in the league was different.

    Tried to upload my credentials on here a couple times now. They exceeded the 700 max. Like I said no big deal. I have nothing to hide.

    I will give you a little insight into scouting. When I would make a player comp or scouting report. That’s what I would do. People would call me crazy comparing Shai to Kobe. But you see it now. I look at Body game. His length build skillset ability to post get to the free throw line. And his two way defense ability. That’s what Jerry West saw superstar.

    Same thing I did with Klay my quote after his workout with us. That’s the best shooter I’ve seen in the pac 10 since Reggie Miller.

    I’m very opinionated.

    I said Anthony Edwards is a superstar.

    compared Garland to Curry with the ability to bring the defense to him.

    you’re just making a comp. Going by what you see on film.

    if I say Edwards I see Jordan doesn’t mean I’m comparing him to Michael Jordan but I’m saying his explosiveness his ability to dunk athleticism. Control games. That’s what I see.
