    Re-sign!! Keep this guy here next year please. He’s in great shape, he plays the 5 so AD can do it selectively as he likes. I can’t believe I have turned all the way around on Dwight. Not only was I completely wrong about signing him in the first place, now I want him to stay and finish out his career here. Forgive me if I’m overstepping but I actually think Kobe would be in favor of it too. This guy is becoming a champion finally in front of our eyes and I’d like him to finish that out and go for a back to back if possible.

    Don't forget the Porcupine...all them quills. The current one? Even 'Do has one. Maybe his brother is responsible for all of 'em.

    HBK didn't have the technical skills Bret Hart had. Slight edge to Bret.

    Agreed, but when he was at his peak I'd argue HBK had the pop edge. But that could be argued for sure.

    Not a wrestling guy. What is this "pop" thing you speak of?

    Dwight probably thinks he is worth a bit more money now. I just hope he is content he has made his wealth, and wants to now compete for more championships.

    I think Cousins is such a terrible fit for what this team tries to do. He wasn't a good PnR defender before the injuries and now older and several major leg issues?
    Keep Dwight and Javale and run it back. I'm not a fan of Javale but he serves a purpose in eating up regular season minutes particularly against mediocre teams.

    The explosion of cheers is what is referred to as a "pop"

    I hope Bam comes back so we can get more Dwight - I feel that Dwigth can energize this team and he will help us defensively.

    Please Bam come back in game 4!

    He deserved it. Congrats, Dwight. You changed your attitude, you realized what needed to be done and you are now NBA champion! Well deserved.

    Amazing what you can do when you get out of your ego and turn into a team player first.

    Congrats Dwight! You were integral to winning this chip

    Happy for Dwight. He's been criticized like crazy the last 7 years. I'm happy to see him a championship part of his redemption story. He has really grown
