    Hey Bud, I know I deserted. But got to be honest, if he had just played and answered questions to the media as he is doing now here (so far) and had the good body language going on now and seemingly genuine like for our guys with his interactions with them caught on camera ..... there never would have been any reason to hate on him except for ESPN doing what they did. He's totally been cool so far and hope it continues. Maybe older now and switching teams a last time (?) he has turned over a new leaf?

    Maturing has been known to happen with age and experience

    Doesn’t mean I’ll ever be a fan.

    He has definitely improved as a player over the last three years. Lost some athleticism too, but he makes up for it with better footwork and the stepback three. The baseline fadeaway he made last night was vintage Kobe, in fact.

    @sirronstuff from prior page

    Why carry the grudge if he plays great for us and in fact acts the right way as a Laker now?

    It was this wasn't it? Unforgivable?

    That thumbnail picture for the video perfectly fits Brian's persona

    When your shot is not falling, bully people inside. That approach seemed to work quite well. Also, another deep 3 late in the 4th. Loved it.

    Yeah it's good to seem him scoring lots of baskets at the rim . Even if his jumper keeps improving these latest few seasons , I don't want him to become too much perimeter happy ( when decent spacing there is)

    I like it, less than 32 mins played. We're up the the creek without a paddle if he gets hurt so it's nice when he doesn't have to play so many minutes. Still have nightmares of pringles ruining Kobe.

    No, but I bet I could make an entire website of the reasons why. Oh wait!

    You’ve got to get to the hoop when you’re shot isn’t falling, love that we have a star that’s smart enough to know this. It’s a pure bonus that he can also bury a three from near halfcourt like a 15 foot jumper to put the nail in the coffin.

    He’s making a lot of dunks and layups

    And is a legit 3 pt threat

    Couldn’t defend Harrison Barnes worth crap though.

    He's making me like him the way I used to do Kobe. I feel like I'm betraying everyone.

    He is not crucial, since he does not lead the team in blocks. Slacker.

    He was doing good up until the very end, but then it oozes our of the crevices.
