    You did and it's been heard... :) Scott once said that Anthony was the best scorer he ever saw. For what it's worth... Good to see that the old heads are taking somewhat of a mentorship role to the Laker young.

    That was a mean tweet on Jimmy Kimmel's show.

    In the next Olympics...Hield could be on the roster so there you go with possibly more Equus references. :)

    He was asking him what's up with Lakers players rubbing their chins like that....he'd noticed Brandon doing it too.

    lol @sirron. it did look like a bit of a gentle scolding, though, right? if i had to guess, jag's right and it had something to do with his lack of urgency all over the floor. this is wild speculation based on the way he sort of demonstrated walking upright and loosely.

    i have too much time on my hands.

    Serena Winters did a great job probing into this conversation in her interview with D'Angelo. D'Angelo actually went to Pop seeking advice on what he can improve on.

    If I had to guess @abeer3 you're right. Pop was probably telling D'Angelo that he's got to be more careful with the ball. Every possession is important on both sides of the ball. No careless passes and no lapses defensively.

    Sounds like a French dude Pop had to deal with early in Frenchie's career.

    Here it is if anyone missed it. Russell pulled the Randle card and is keeping what Pop told him close to the chest and will show it on the court:

    Hopefully Pop was telling him how silly that hairstyle looks.

    I agree. I think D'Angelo needs a new haircut...he looks like a clown right now.
