it feels good baby! 'the streak'

gotta love the laker fans yankee-ish approach to their problems - all we need to do is trade for chris paul and dwight and everything is smooth sailing from here on out!

Man, the WAY they went out = Lakers brand badly tarnished for a good while. Seriously I'll bet the Bynum and Odom fouls cost them some serious trading leverage.

lol kareem is such a douche:

There are five statues outside the arena recognizing Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Chick Hearn, Wayne Gretzky and Oscar De La Hoya. Abdul-Jabbar believes it's high time the Lakers do the right thing and make him the sixth athlete so honored.

"I don't understand (it). It's either an oversight or they're taking me for granted," Abdul-Jabbar told The Sporting News in a recent interview. "I'm not going to try to read people's minds, but it doesn't make me happy. It's definitely a slight. I feel slighted."

The six-time NBA MVP sounded even more offended in a statement released subsequently by his business manager.

"I am highly offended by the total lack of acknowledgement of my contribution to Laker success," Abdul-Jabbar was quoted as saying. "I guess being the lynchpin for five world championships is not considered significant enough in terms of being part of Laker history."

He's got a legitimate point, sure, but being "highly offended" is just a sign of not having enough to keep him busy.

well, yeah, he should get a statue, but who in the world bitches to the media about not having their own statue??

the de la hoya statue is a total joke. also: ugly.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

it is pretty comical that de la hoya has one and not kareem

Interesting factoid: Both Mike Brown and Eric Spoelstra started their coaching careers as video coordinators

looks like kobe's knee is permafucked

lmao espn headline 'Lakers regret not talking Brown hire with Kobe'

^_^

uh oh kobels too old for microfracture, thats like saying 'hes too fat for gastric bypass but no worries everythings cool'

Laker trainer Gary Vitti tells Lakers.com's Mike Trudell about Kobe Bryant's right knee, which sounds like it's due for a busy offseason: "His is an articulating cartilage problem. The way I describe that to people is that if you look at the end of chicken bone where it’s nice and white, well, that’s not bone, it’s cartilage. Sort of like a Teflon surface that when two bones come together, that cartilage is there so that bones don’t rub on each other. Now, the fact that it’s nice and white tells you it doesn’t have a good blood flow to it, and that means it cannot heal or regenerate. So, over time, as that cartilage wears away, you end up with osteoarthritis. Kobe doesn’t have an arthritic knee, but he has a knee that has some joint degeneration to it. His issues and his age are such that it eliminates some procedures, like microfracture and that type of things. But he is a candidate for certain other things, and we know all the procedures all around the world that are available to him, and the appropriate decisions will be made, he’ll have the best care."
