Just a Raptors fan coming in here to pay respect.
He has a LOAD of potential. Kobe sees it. He just needs to adjust to the speed and relative size of the NBA.
You can't do fuark all against that shot even if you see it coming. It's beautiful to watch. Kobe needs to get some of the fine points of his game back but he's looking NBA ready. I'm not sure where his explosivity is but his footwork looks great.
Also just a +1 but Nash looks less like a vampire and more like a living thing this pre-season. If he can stay healthy and if they can get Swaggy P to stop thumbing Kobe, you guys may just have a playoff team on your hands.
Rew they are in the west. Unless some of the 50+ win teams have severe injury issues, the Lakers have pretty much no chance of making the playoffs. All the teams who made it last year are still in tact and a threat (Houston got a little worse, but still D12 + Harden). NO will make a push for a playoff spot. So will Phoenix.
Not flaming, just being realistic.
