    Honestly it'd work best if it was one of his former confidants. Metta could do it. Fisher could do it even today. Pau might be able to, but I'm not sure he has the personality for it. Someone he respects from the older generations would work: Cap, Jerry West, Magic, Cooper, maybe Worthy. It wouldn't happen quickly, but he'd take it into consideration.

    Part of the problem is that all of those guys want/expect Kobe to figure it out himself. At this point, at his age how does he not get it? His stubbornness is legendary and in this late hour it's biting himself and the Lakers in the butt.

    Kobe you suck at 3s now! I'm shooting them better than you and will take them instead of you from now on ......or I will kick your f****** a** in the shower after every f****** game!

    I love Kobe and I think it's hilarious that he doesn't give a flying f*** about his FG%. I mean it takes real balls to not give an absolute crap about that. He really is a different breed.

    He'd better play tomorrow. I'll be enraged if not.

    Rooting for you Travis, seriously!!

    Did you already have tickets, or buy them on this new wrinkle of Kobe telling Byron he wanted to try to play every game?

    If he does, do you have a loud voice?

    If so, during some lull could you fall on a grenade for the gang at LB and yell out where he can't miss it ..... something to the effect of getting his a** in the post and stop jacking up 3s?

    :Headbang:

    Kobe out tonight for rest. Sorry mate.

    I wonder if the play is a little more fluid, if Byron would dare to play Kobe less.

    We bought them just before the season started. I could travel elsewhere in FL or GA to see them, but this is fifteen minutes from my house, so it's convenient.

    I'm sick, so I don't know how much yelling I'll be able to do :(

    Last time I was there, they asked fans to text pics from the game. I sent a pic of Kobe dunking on Dwight. They didn't show my pic on the big screen.

    Pfffttt .....that's tonight. trodgers don't care about tonight!

    On another note .....WHOA!! What is this???? Is Kobe being "sat down" to see if the play is more fluid?

    My comment will look stupid if lakerfan2's intel is wrong. A link please or it's not going to happen. :Shaqwink:

    Well Metta is starting in his place and we all know he's the portrait of fluidity on offense

    Or are they just being careful so Wade doesn't break his nose again?


    I saw some blurb where Wade yesterday or today said there will never be another Kobe, so kidding above.

    Noooo, you got the "Teabag Pic" ??? That was a long time ago. Or was this a less embarrassing jam on the "winner"?
