    It's unfathomable to me that a team with Dwight and Metta World Peace could be so bad on defense. Also, the grizzlies owned them in the paint by like 50 to 3 so something ridiculous, how is that even possible.

    LOL, Howard is such a broad. He takes media shots at Kobe and complains about shot disparity. Then Kobe asks him, man to man, if you have an issue and he don't have ish to say and instead says he isn't worried about shots? LOL. Vagina

    It's pretty fascinating watching the Blazers, Rockets, Wolves, and Lakers all stink it up. If one of them got their **** together, they could make the playoffs easily. As it is right now, it's still anyone's game and you even have Dallas.

I mean, for bein such a big dude, he jus way too soft, he could be da biggest bully in da world if he wanted to but he such a scared little b!tch on da inside. He let kobe straight punk his ass then he nut up when kobe axe him too say it to his face. Unreal.

    Dwight didn't want the death stare.

    He's a big kid that wants to be loved, like I said before. The worst place he could've ended. It's ridiculous the amount of hate our future center is getting.

    Wasn't it something about cancer? or was it just a cover-story? Rudy T still felt good enough about the Lakers to do scouting work for them.

    Definitely a cover up but David aldridge was there the night they called him in the office to let him go and said Rudy stormed out angry...

    I'm sure the scout thing was to save face and to have him work for the rest of his salary.

    Also shaq was the one who asked for Rudy t not Kobe. Basically they got Rudy t anyway when coach k turned them down because he liked running his offense through his star player which he did but it wore Kobe down and he got injured....

    That offense only worked for a dominant post player who had guys who could shoot around him....shaq knew this...but they traded him to sign Kobe.

    Kobe liked it initially because the ball was in his hands almost every single play...disaster of a season though

    Marc Gasol is probly laughing and feeling bad for his brother that hes playing with a team that has a ball hog,a coach that sucks, a team that plays no defense and a center that can't make free throws also cause drama
