You have no idea how bummed I was when that guy left.
Yes and I love this whole "he doubts Kobe in any way? He's not a fan".
The titles they won they won on defense, rebounding, high percentage shots, etc. Shaq would have 20 rebounds consistently in the playoffs and the two they won recently were largely because they had Pau, Bynum and Odom with role players like Vujacic, Brown, etc.; not just Kobe. Kobe was obviously critical but there were games they won when he played poorly because the Lakers were fundamentally rock solid.
This is why I was pissed they went with D'Antoni (spelling?). That guy wants to run a high scoring fast-paced game with fucking Kobe, Howard, Pau, etc.? Fucking moronic.
Well said. You sir are the first "laker" fan who I've met who understands those points. (then again, all the laker fans i know, are just huge kobe fans).
Yup D'antoni was an awful signing imo.
