    It will also be comical when Lin goes hero ball and gets the Kobe death stare

    I caught their game the other night against the Jazz, and man I gotta say that the Lakers are one ugly lookin' team, and I kinda feel like they wouldn't even be competitive in the East.

    So many things need fixing... U - G - L - Y, they ain't got no alibi

    Maybe the Lakers can go the OKC route and keep tanking and build your team back to contenders. Even though that might not happen lol

    The sad thing about Kobe Bryant is that he believes that POINTS, POINTS and More POINTS proves that he is still elite.

    Kobe Bryant could be a very valuable player on a team if he could set aside his ego and just try to help a team win by being a complimentary player.

    Also, all of these media guys making snide remarks about the ranking seem to buy into the fact that scoring 25 points a game makes Kobe elite. It doesn't.

    That's why Tim Duncan is and will always be the superior player. Period.

    Tim Duncan has allstars and a HOF coach... Isn't Kobe in a way forced to be a 25ppg scorer with this team?

    The greats want to win. Kobe wants to prove he is the best by pumping his stats. Winning is more of a means to an end than the goal for him. He knew he had to win rings to be in the GOAT conversation and I honestly think that is his only motivation to win.

    MJ approached the game with "I want to destroy the opposing team" attitude. Kobe approaches the game with "what do I need to do for people to think I'm the best" attitude.

    That's what separates Kobe from being a top ten player.

    This is why LOFs like me around the world are smiling

    This is why Lin will avg at least 22ppg, 8apg, 45FG%, and 403PT%

    Old Kobe who can't blow past his man, old Nash, old Boozer, scrubs, and next best talent is a rookie (Randle) who's lost most of the time?? And give-the-ball-to-PG-****-you-McHale-and-all-other-ballhogs(Harden) coach???

    This is why we smile

    And we don't even like Lin... :D

    it's kinda expected Lin fans only care about useless individual stats, as long as Lin gets points, **** the rest of the team.

    ^ To be fair, he is probably trying to get back into the flow of the game since he's been hurt.

    Sources have also confirmed that Carlos Boozer has acne, and that Jeremy Lin is asian.
