    I'm not saying we should support the guy, but as I stated above or in the previous page (if its been past by) I just get more PTSD out of them than joy/comedy.

    Instead of laughing, I usually shake my head in frustration over the those times.

    I wish the Lakers would adopt the Yankees dress and look code. I think Reinsdorf in Chicago has a similar dress code/look. You wanna look like a hobo, that's what places like Boston and New Orleans are for. But then again, Jim I Am wears a ball cap with his suits, so, nevermind.

    I never seen a pic of jim in a suit, seems to be just baseball cap and tshirts, maybe once in a blue moon a dress shirt.

    Damn, right. Let him express himself the way he wants; just like the old NWA song:

    "I'm expressin with my full capabilities, and now I'm living in correctional facilities.'

    I dislike his new hair. He's still young and I guess he's experimenting, but he looked the best with the mini-fro imo.

    Heading into the draft, D'Angelo Russell was the most sought after player by brands. Being selected second overall and practically handed the keys at point guard to the Lakers made his profile extremely attractive to Nike and adidas.

    After fielding a strong offer from adidas, Russell ultimately signed a long-term deal with Nike for $1.4 million per year. He was instantly seen mixing things up on a game-by-game basis, wearing a variety of Kobe Bryant's signature shoes from the past few years, along with creative custom versions through the brand's NIKEiD website. He wore 23 different kinds of shoes over the course of the year, 18 of which were different editions of Kobe's shoes.

    With his sharp off-court style and social-media presence, Russell created a strong following. And after a rough start, his play was coming around as well.

    Then the Nick Young incident happened.

    The aftermath was difficult, both from a team and marketing standpoint. But as we've often seen throughout the league, players can overcome negative situations with time.

    As Russell looks to make the leap toward becoming a consistent starter in a post-Kobe world, his dynamic playmaking and sense of style will continue to carry him as an endorser in the marketing world. But it will certainly take some time for him to repair his image.

    Interesting stuff. I'm sure he's on the back burner a bit for Nike until he makes a splash. All it'll take is a great start under Luke and he's back on top of the world.

    He'll be fine as long as he sticks with our coaching staff, Deng, and Calderon.

    And if you were just listening to Tom Penn you would have thought DAR pooped in his tail pipe and was out of the league after this game.

    After those early turnovers, D'Angelo was as efficient a game as you can get.
