    I'm guessing you did not make these photos public on dropbox. Only you (if you are logged into dropbox) can see them then.

    Honestly the Lakers are in a position to make a difference with the second half of the season. If they can look competitive and have some momentum going into the summer, things can change dramatically.

    I don't care if we keep the pick or not. This draft isn't that deep.

    IF we look good down the stretch and our young guys win a few games against decent opponents, I'm fine with losing the pick. If we lose the pick to gain attention from FAs it's worth it. I'd rather have a guy like Horford than Dragan Bender.

    Say we finish the season 10/10 with a couple wins against good teams. Kobe plays decently when he's in the lineup and Julius/Russell keep improving and showing that they're NBA talent. We fire Byron and bring in Luke. Keep or lose the pick, if we can be interesting that's half the battle.

    A guy like Horford might look at us differently and actually consider us if we offer him a ton of money AND a competitive prospect in a big market. Al hasn't really played in a market like LA, it might be appealing to him if we can get him and say Batum or something. Go into next season with Batum/Horford/Walton instead of Kobe/Hibbert/Byron and wow what are we talking about? 9th seed? Something like that?

    OK. So that's the one hosting site I have and am using Drop Box only just recently. Have 1TB and like the interface a lot. But I'm really new to it and how could I go about easily giving you guys access for that folder? Do I somehow come up with a code number for making it public and then share it here?

    And also is it possible to still get them to display in the body of our normal site, like when you copy image address and paste the photo right into your post? And you can see them on monitors and cell phones?

    crazy to see a 37 year old with 20 years experience drop 38 points in today's NBA, against guys in their early 20s

    you don't see guys getting close to 40 points regularly anyways, the fact that kobe's still doing it after all these years is really something

    I think you need to right-click the image and then click "Share". Copy/paste that link except in the link, change "dl=0" to "raw=1". You could also host it on imgur.com. :)

    Seriously, if Dan hadn't broke him, what might he have looked like since then with his "normal" Kobe self chosen training methods these past years? :Shh: The more I think of it I blame Jim so much now for trying to be cute, trying to put his stamp on his dad's legacy. Unless it's true that Doc Buss wanted Dan. Screw it I'll still blame Jim. At very least he signed off on not wanting Phil back, knowing Jerry was going to pass and he himself was not known for basketball genius.

    I really think 85% of the drop off from 2012 compared to today is due to injuries (mainly achilles), the other 15% being age. If he hadn't been injured, Kobe would still be an all-star caliber player at this age. He's that skilled.

    I find myself being sad that I don't think on the Lakers or any team, we will ever again see that level of ALL the amazing technical skills and footwork he put on display all these years. There was Mike. Then against all odds there was Kobe playing against Mike in the early years with a 20 year career of his own with ALL Mikes's amazing skills and in certain areas better than Mike skills. Just not quite to the level of MJ's raw physical capabilities.

    Lebron has not had a 38 point game this season, take that into perspective.

    ^Injuries definitely have been a huge turning point. I think Kobe could have had similar stats to Jordan's Washington years now if it weren't for injuries.

    I'd wager 70% of his drop off was due to that achilles.

    Also great to see Kobe shush the crowd after he hit the three towards the end. And to see him so happy after the game. Averaging 29 points per game over the last three. Really incredible.

    If it weren't for Pringles, he'd go well past 20 years and be on track to be the leading scorer in NBA history
