    ^^And his press conference after the Finals victory was one of the coolest post game things I've ever seen in Sports.

    I miss Kobe...

    Also the 2008 bench mob was so much fun to watch (Farmar, Sasha, Ronny)

    I miss LO.

    As much as a loathed his inconsistency, he was a damn talented player when he turned it on. It was quite rare to find a player of his size and skills, and he did it with ease when he was motivated. Sometimes, he looked like one of the best players on the court. He took playing off the bench in stride and stuck it to KG when he needed to. It was sad to see him go out the way he did, and all the problems he had thereafter, I hope he's in a better place with his life right now.

    Odom was one of the guys I really pulled for when he was here. It's a shame how his career ended, hopefully he's getting his life on track.

    I miss quality veteran filled teams with "gritty" and crafty guys. Ron Harper, Shaw, Horry, Fox, Horace Grant. I guess really I miss when the game wasn't so soft, it seems to be a young players' game now more than ever. I miss when the smart old vets play mattered more over speed, when you were allowed to play D on the perimeter, and when there were less manufactured and protected superstars. If Shaq played in his prime under today's rules he'd average 20 FT's a game.

    I greatly miss Chick, but I'm also a little glad he didn't have to see what this franchise has become. He never had to live in a world where the Clippers were better than us for years.

    In my top 10 Laker moments was Bynum dunking on Shaq.

    I went from cringing to jumping out of my chair in 10 seconds.

    I miss the NBA on NBC theme music before a big Lakers game back at the turn of the century.

    I miss the days when all Lakers fans cheered for the team to win games instead of lose them.

    I saw bynum play in his first summer league game in Long Beach. It was fun watching him develop.. Strange how his attitude got so bad and he lost his passion.

    I think Bynum's apparent moodiness was a function of his body frustrating him. There were no attitude problem pre-injuries when Kobe was calling him a championship-caliber player. It has to be extremely frustrating to be on top of it all and have your body (that got you there in the first place) pulling you back down.
