1 - I geniuinely believe Wade is a great guy and he's one of the true players I root for not wearing a Knick uniform. And it was great watching him and Shaq have fun with those kids playing basketball.

2 - Yeah... when Shaq first came into the league I wasn't his biggest fan... but I watch how much he gets along with his teammates and how much fun he wants to have... I'd give anything to have a player like that on my team... as well as his rebounding, scoring...

3 - From day 1 Kobe has had an agenda and that was to eclipse Jordan.. in every way possible. And I'm not surprised he's now one of the least wanted spokespeople in the NBA. And it's kinda funny cause when he was a FA I was hoping he'd make a sign and trade with NY... but that changed quickly... I started to realize he'd just screw the team up with his ego. I'm really interested in seeing how he and Phil are gonna work together.

4 - And yeah.. you should tell your friend to bring a taser with her if she ever runs into Kobe again... LOL. When I think about it.. Kobe must not be the man he thinks he is.... doesn't anyone remember a few years ago. Karl Malone was hitting on his wife? LMAO.... that grandfather tried to take Kobe's woman... at laker games no less.

Classic.

the scary thing is, kobe is a better all around player tha jordan, he's stronger, has a better shot (especially three point range) and can defend almost as well.

the only way he can prove he's like jordan though, is if he wins without shaq. i'm pretty sure that was his mind set.

 

[The Riddler]

While we're talking about Kobe...I don't know, I think he's really fake. It feels as if he's forcing himself to do all this charity work and what not to help repair his image. He doesn't seem like the sincerest guy in the world.

Oh, and who heard about Darko getting arrested? Hehe. Good stuff right there (driving with a suspended license for those wondering)

the funny thing is, prior to the rape allegeations, he was considered an all around nice guy.

i think it's funny that because he cheated on his wife, everyone thinks he's an a-hole.

 

[The Riddler]

I wonder if the Knicks will give Houston a job within the orginazation?

why?

allen houston is scrub anyway.

Before the rape charge most people thought he was a cocky wannabe Jordan, certainly with most heads. It was White America that was feeling him

ok...

 

[Super_Ludacris]

ok...

oh come on you know it. Did you like Kobe before the rape charge anyways? Most NBA fans I knew that he was arrgoant and trying to be like Jordan (which he does, on and off the court) and was on Shaq's coatails. It was a reaction to his popularity with younger suburban bandwagon fans and bandwagon Laker fans

i didn't like kobe as much before the rape allegations because i hated how he was playing almost as well as jordan.

now that he'll never challenge jordan, in terms of being the greatest, i like him a lot more.

kobe is still the best player in the nba at the moment.

I'm sorry, did Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson and Steve Nash die?

skill wise, kobe is the best player in the nba.

the only guy, that can challenge him skill wise is t-mac and though his defense is getting better, he's still not as a good a defender as kobe is.

Kevin Garnett trumps him. A 7 footer with the ability to damn near run the floor by himself on any position. Inside, outside defense, offense

garnett doesn't play defense that well.

he gets blocks, but he isn't a real good defender.

plus, i think kobe being clutch, gives him an edge.

 

[Equint77]

I wonder if the Knicks will give Houston a job within the orginazation?

he says he wants to continue to be part of the team... and because he's friends with the owner... it's likely he will.

I never had a problem with Allan... he's had some of the most memorable games in the last 10 years. the shot against miami... game 6 against Indy in the 1999 ECF.

I'm 50/50 on his retirement. On one hand I'm glad he's decided to call it quits cause the team is moving in a younger direction and lets that plan move ahead. It also gives the Knicks cap relief as well as being able to get some money to sign another player using the money they'll recieve off medical exception.

On the other hand I wish his knee heeled so he could play this season.. he'd be a great bench player... spot up shooter to free up Steph, JC, Curry, even QR.

I want him to remain a Knick though.

I love you and all Riddler...but NO he isn't. You're kind of biased being from California and all... I could go into why he isn't as good, but it would be redundant.

At certain points in the game you see KG guarding all 5 positions.. from 1 - 5.

Who does that?

You'll never see Kobe go from guarding the PG to the PF.

KG doesnt make his teammates better....Wait a mins Kobe doenst either

 

[Doomed_hero]

I still think Kobe is the best all around player as well. Thats not to take anything from Duncan, Garnett, or Nash, but Kobe just has a better all around game from what I have seen. However they each have something Kobe doesn't have yet which gives them the edge against him, there able to lead there teams. Thats the step Kobe has to work on if he wants to get more respect like they have.

And your extremley biased towards your own opinion Nuk Nuk. I'm not putting you down or trying to start a fight, it just seems that you like to think yourself the know all NBA source around here.

Yes I know I am very stubborn as well when it comes to my own opinion. But I am from CA as well, and I can't stand Kobe I don't care for him as a player or as a person.

But the kid is phenomenal. His major set backs are his attitude, leadership and the ability to make the players around him better. Other than that offensivley and defensively he is a great talent. Do I think he is the best player in the league, no close though.

Who took part in the SHH Fantasy Draft last night? How did you guys do?

And opening night is less than a week away. I'll be there! Woohoo!

 

[Kipobe]

The Kings played horribly tonight, but I'm still very positive about the Lakers defense. Their defense really was poised, and gives me a good feeling about this season, despite the obvious of not having exactly the best team.

I think the Phil/Kobe situation will stay tempered and businesslike for the most part... but that's gonna require some wins, or at the very least, some positive losses.

I'm really pumped about this season. Way more than I was about last season!

I did. I think it went alright. I'm weak at the center position and have a few potential injury conserns but other than that I'm pretty soild. I have a good group of guards that I hope can take me far

Last season was a throw away season!!! I am too excited this season not just for the Lakers but the clippers as well!
