KOBE is prroving he is the real deal! Did anybody miss his dunk on Yao? Injured and all, this man knows the deal! LAKERS aren't looking so bad now are they? Plus Shaq says he is ready for another title! He doesn't play for games! LAKERS may not be a top seed. but they are still the team to beat! (BTW I think the Bucks gotta a steal w/ Payton! They may be the LAKERS next victom!)

That behind the back dunk was incredible. Wonder if entering right out of high school helped. He seems to be peaking now. Love to watch him play.

It would be nothing more than sad to see the lakers win this year... they have become lazy. How sad is it to be a laker fan and plop down fiddy bucks to see them play unmotivated during the regular season, then decide to turn it up a notch in the playoffs...

Shaq pulled and AI and had surgury just to miss camp, now they pay for it... let them die...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KOBE...

"PhillyFan", I have a question for you?....have you EVER said or written ONE positive thing to someone else in your life because from the unbelievably negative and downright vicious tone of your nearly 50 posts here (during the FOUR DAYS that you have been on Outsports), I don't see how that is even possible. frown

Thank You gamecock! Kobe is real fun to watch! I didn't think it was wise for him (or any player), to skip college but the Lakers totally took their time w/ him and helped groom him into the player he has become! His parents were positive role models as well! As for negative posts: We can't stop them, but I wish we could get a better mix! Like: "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all!" yet we all need to vent! Still watch sports as a fan, and appreciate the talents!

Fifty bucks? Are you out of your mind? Try one hundred. The Staples Center and the Lakers gouge their consumers like no other franchise in LA. It is impossible to get decent seats without surrendering a substantial wad of dough.
