You're missing the point.

You're idolizing a very very bad guy.

I personally consider him an excellent idol/role model, personally, if your entire reasoning for believing otherwise is that idiotic image then you are a moron; but to each his own.

Gotcha.

I have a lot of faith in the organization and frankly the team's resources and market is a draw for talent, so they will be competitive eventually, there's just so much in the air for the next couple of years. Basically, like I said a few pages ago I think, these last two years will kind of be Kobe's "farewell tour" (assuming he plays and doesn't get injured into early retirement) and they will need to wait till he's out of the picture to pursue a very competitive team.

I just hope they assemble a roster that is at least fun to watch. All things considered D'Antoni succeeded in this the best he could last year lol.


yeah thats the one thing that sucks. kobe most likely is not going to win a ring next season. although his chances might go up his last season (2015-2016), hes probably not going to win a ring that season either.
unfortunately kobe might be ending his career right when the lakers begin to start competing. and thats if Kobe comes back healthy and ready to play for these next two years. hopefully he wont turn into nash where we only see him play a dozen or two games for the next few years.

in the end, everything can go wrong or everything can go right. we're going to need all the pieces to fall into place for us to even smell the ring by then. an injury here or there, a bad hiring (coach), or our pick ending up to be a bust can change everything.
who knows? maybe the lakers wont even reach the finals until the next decade.

































NAHHHHH, who am i kidding. LAKERS 2018 CHAMPS, QUOTE ME!

I don't feel a lot (or any, in fact) sympathy for Kobe. The fact is he is grossly overcharging the team and taking no discount when lord knows he doesn't need all that money and he is refusing to sit back and let the team make decisions they feel are the best to try and win, instead trying to make every little thing about him when he probably will not be the superstar he once was. In fact, even if he were it still would be bullshit for him to conduct himself like he has. I love watching him play but God damn could he handle himself better.

You think a murderous, oppressive, ignorant, totalitarian communist, racist sociopath who imprisoned homosexuals and wanted to nuke the United States is a good role model.. and i'm the moron? LOL
Do you know what he would think of the Lakers? He would probably have them all put in concentration camps if he didn't have them executed(like he did an estimated 2000 people) and they didn't die in the nuclear war he wanted.
You might as well have a Hitler avatar and sig.

I used to hate Kobe and the Lakers, but the dude just eventually won me over and I've been a LAL fan since... not for more than the last decade or so, tops, but still. hating a team just for being the Lakers then flip flopping based on one player, then becoming a "fan" has just been crazy to think about. I was so excited for Nash and I have 3 jerseys (Artest and two Nash's).

POINT of this: I'm never counting Kobe out. guy never fails. say what you want but I'm a believer
