    He was our good luck charm tonight. We started winning when he came on and was doing his interview.

    Screenshot_20221031_145959.jpg I think the Lakers might be preparing to put the number 16 between the 8 and 24. This is excellent.

    What’s the deal with Mikan’s not having his name on it plus the number like all the rest and like the big framed one given to family members?

    good to see they finally changed the jerseys to look as they did when each respective player wore them

    never made any sense to retire shaq/kobe's numbers with the jerseys they only wore for a few years

    Yah, they need to just add it on there. It's a nice jersey up there. They did a great job on the 5 minny banners too.

    They actually updated all the retired jerseys to match the style of jersey that player actually played in. Compare that pic to how it used to be:

    My guess is that back in the day when Mikan was playing, the players names weren’t printed on the jersey yet.

    On that topic… anyone know where I can buy a Pau jersey? I definitely don’t want to just make a custom Gasol #16 jersey using our current style, ideally want the same look as the jerseys that Pau/Kobe used to wear.

    Any chance the Lakers officially re-release some jerseys in that style prior to his retirement?

    I'm willing to bet you'll be able to buy his jersey closer to his jersey retirement day. Online or at the Lakers store

    The Lethal Shooter gimmick isn't working for AD. Let's see if Pau can come aboard as a consultant and at least get AD's mid range game back to a consistent level.

    The combo of Kobe and Pau having dependable mid range games was just so deadly. Analytics have ruined the undervalued mid J. Sorry, if it worked for Kobe, one of the best offensive weapons to ever lace em up, it should work for EVERY player.

    Harden is disappearing into the night as a winless flopper/scorer who could never lead his team to a title. You hate to see it.

    No room for 6 if you think about it.
