    His answer with Tarik Black was surprising, almost as if he wanted people to be scared of him. I like tkat actually, maybe he can develop into a mean beast on the court :pauexplode:. Isiah Thimas 2.0

    If I had 5 thumbs, I'd give this post 5 THUMBS UP!!! Shoot I would give it a million thumbs up if I could.

    I could not agree with you more. If I had the means to do that for my parents, I wouldn't even think twice. It's one of my current goals right now.

    Again, I don't know why people are getting on him for doing that.

    At least he actually knows his dad and can maybe help the dude now. We can't even assume his dad showed drugs around his son so it's possible D'Angelo wasn't fully aware of it or maybe he thought he was cleaned up. A lot of places in the world don't even consider weed a bad thing anymore including states in the US but driving on weed and drank combo.... not to make excuses for the guy, he's a jacka**. Hopefully D'Angelo yanks the Maserati and gives him nothing or a '91 Honda Civic that can get him to work and back until he proves he's worth the trust again. I know I would. He's got a powerful tool with all that Laker paper he's got now, he can use it to try and fix the situation or make it worse.

    A vet point to mentor the future of their franchise, teach him the ropes and the ins-and-outs of the position...what a crazy notion.

    Ju...I don't think anyone here wouldn't do the same for their folks especially if they were instrumental in bringing one up as a responsible adult. The big issue here is that his father should have exercised good judgment on how to conduct himself. He is still an example to the young man and should continue to do so. What therealdeal wrote that it should be a good lesson for both of them particularly to his father.

    I think with Clarkson having spent time last season at the 1, the coaching staff is comfortable not having to bring in a vet to steady the ship as well as the locker room. They could be interchangeable... Russell should get the hang of it by mid season at least plus he has 24 and Bass and Young and Williams to lean on...

    ^^^ .... and Nash. He's not hurting for world class guidance on and around the team.

    Most people end up with their toes just slightly pointing outwards, and that seems to be fine. Kelly Starrett's the man when it comes to mobility and movement through exercises.

    Lol at the rook making fun of Kobe, big gall. He looks thicker though, not rail thin no more.
