January 24, 201313 yr Yeah, the team meeting worked for about 2 quarters. Dwight also apologized for complaining publicly and being immature. Then he re-aggravated his right shoulder.
January 24, 201313 yr Horrible argument. How many teams has Shaq played for? Funny how Shaq feuded EVERYWHERE he went but it was always someone else's fault. Bynum didn't want to leave. He didn't leave on his own free will. What did Bynum in was his attitude and likely the comment, "every city has a bank so I don't care where I play at. I'll still get paid." Bynum has yet to play a game this season. Bet he's still getting paid though. Kobe is a shooting guard. Not a point guard. Not a point forward. A shooting guard. It's not his job to get everyone involved. It is his job to score. Jordan didn't get everyone involved. It was a collective effort by the team. Paul Pierce doesn't get everyone involved. Joe Johnson doesn't get everyone involved. Kevin Durant doesn't get everyone involved. I don't understand why or how Kobe is supposed to get everyone involved. Kobe has benefited from playing on some damn good basketball teams.
January 24, 201313 yr Kobe has benefited from playing on some damn good basketball teams. And Kobe has made those damn good basketball teams some damn good basketball teams.
January 24, 201313 yr And Kobe has made those damn good basketball teams some damn good basketball teams. True but he's not been able to actually carry a team by himself like Lebron was able to with the Cavs.
January 24, 201313 yr True but he's not been able to actually carry a team by himself like Lebron was able to with the Cavs. I agree with you. He not had the opportunity. The only time he had to, he requested a trade.
January 24, 201313 yr True but he's not been able to actually carry a team by himself like Lebron was able to with the Cavs. Nobody has carried a team like Lebron carried the Cavs. How is that relevant? Two completely styles of play and approaches to the game. Not sure how his fits into the discussion.
January 24, 201313 yr I agree with you. He not had the opportunity. The only time he had to, he requested a trade. And Lebron actually left to go play with another Hall of Famer. Your point?
January 24, 201313 yr Author Will the Lakers even finish .500? Will they avoid 50 losses? These are the most relevant questions facing this team. What a choke job.
January 24, 201313 yr I think they still finish .500 but they won't make the playoffs. This season is basically over. I will explain what I think they should do in the thread about trading Howard. They are terrible on defense and that is the bottom line. Just look at the numbers for opposing PGs that face them. They all have career games. Howard was going to mask the perimeter defense issues by protecting the rim but he's not doing that. He's not even close to healthy. Edited January 24, 201313 yr by HammerTime
January 24, 201313 yr Nobody has carried a team like Lebron carried the Cavs. How is that relevant? Two completely styles of play and approaches to the game. Not sure how his fits into the discussion. Just with the type of player/teammate he is. I believe if he was a better teammate on the court then he probably could carry a team to an extent.
January 25, 201313 yr Will the Lakers even finish .500? Will they avoid 50 losses? These are the most relevant questions facing this team. What a choke job. Who cares? They are done. Finished. Finito. Kaput. Over. It's all about the scoring title for 53 year old Kobe Bryant. Nothing else matters.
January 25, 201313 yr Just with the type of player/teammate he is. I believe if he was a better teammate on the court then he probably could carry a team to an extent. Naw...he's won 5 titles being the exact same teammate he is now. Why change?
January 26, 201313 yr Naw...he's won 5 titles being the exact same teammate he is now. Why change? Wasn't just him. He even admitted he's probably not the easiest guy to play with.
