how is no potential similar to untapped potential?? media trying to burn dwight as much as they can. he should just give bland, ambiguous answers now on.
well, the lakers' potential sure is limited while they are held hostage by kobe's contract. he just had to say that before a game he isn't playing in though!
misleading title is misleading He said "When I look at the Laker's, all I see is untapped potential." So, he actually said they indeed have potential. He followed that we a joking reference to a GIECO commercial. But despite the OP trolling by changing Dwight's joke/comments, this thread will build to 5+ pages discussing something Dwight didn't actually say., 5 pages at least. so sigh
You guys have to watch the GIECO commercial to get the burn. It was actually an extremly layered burn. I thought I was reading a joke from the Venture Bros.
Pretty sure OP is the one who created the misleading title. I personally think his comment is hilarious, in context.
Ha. Funny. Seriously though, Lakers are such a joke and their fans are even worse. A lot of those guys honestly think that whoever they draft this year is going to be Kobe part II and make them instant contenders. Looking forward to a decade of them losing.
no need for taking shots at other guys on that team. the only one he should be annoyed with is d'antoni. those other guys had nothing to do with his experience there. he's trying to point out that he made the right decision to join the rockets, but the standings speak for themselves. the mature thing to say would've need "they have some nice young guys, they'll get a good pick, they still have kobe, they'll be back soon."
Since the commercial itself has not been posted, here it is. It's clear that he's trying to say the Lakers have no potential by referencing the commercial. OPs title is correct. [YouTube]-0PTYje5AIE[/YouTubE]
The commercial says "All I see in this room is untapped potential." And that is the line Dwight quoted.
