Gen X 1965-1978

Kobe was from the same generation as Iverson, Garnett, Vince Carter, etc. They are not millennials, they are underachieving Gen X'ers like yourself homie. Life passed y'all by, but you haven't realized it yet. Now yall checking out in your 50's cuz you didn't live right and just hated on everyone after you. :lol: Now the Good Lord is calling you all home, like Kobe. :yes:

Defense is contributing. Assists contribute to offense. It ain't just about individual scoring.

Not getting to the line and putting strategic coaching pressure on the other team is not contributing either.

He’s not a rebound specialist

He’s not a passing specialist

He’s not a steal specialist

He’s an fucking AGape mouf

Well I take back what I said. And it's sad that they chopped up the vid to fit a narrative.

Now about AD...

Niggas priorities all wrong when he's focused on having his sunglasses match his shirt! :roflmao:

He came to the game saying "I'm gonna kill'em with this fit tonight"!

Kobe was a Gen X'er and identified with old heads. He's seen as a "90s throwback". I literally just linked you to an article where he shitted on millennials that came up thru AAU like Bron, Melo, Rose, etc.

Why cant you dudes just admit y'all are old as hell and aren't touch with what's happening this decade? Mofos got tech companies and movie studios and y'all still yapping bout rings this nigga won Jeannie Buss, who is poorer than LeBron is. :lol: You Gen X niggas have EMPLOYEE MINDSETS, you are not bosses or willing to compete with white Capitol. I seen you wit the Foot Locker outfit on bruh.

U really hate Duke players

Wayne Ellington and reggie were no better or worse
Click to expand...

No, both were better than him.

Reddish's offensive rating is abysmal. Four years into his career he's still a below average shooter. He's worse than Vanderbilt on offense, which is pretty difficult when he can't shoot. Reddish just occasionally has a game where he might score 20, like a full moon.

and he looks like a good defensive player, because he has good size for his position but he's not, he's not much if any better than Prince, Snitch or Rui on defense.

His advanced analytics aren't good and have never been good and that's why teams keep giving up on him and he's making the minimum now. Him being with Klutch (@Amajorfucup ) is why he's on the team, because he probably would be in the G League or overseas.

with Lebron playing how he is, I feel he deserves better than what the Lakers are giving him.

Coaching, drafting, front office decision making, all of it... the Lakers are terrible at it. If I were LeBron and I'd stay there I'd demand changes from top to bottom or else I'd walk.

I feel he has 1 to 2 more deep playoff runs in him, but with the way things are in Laker land he'll never get it there.

Its time for him to move on imo. Organization is trash and large contingent of the fanbase are ungrateful idol worshipping clowns. Look at all of Jeanie and Robs acquisitions and signings and hires outside of Bron. All unmitigated disasters. White media celebrated Robs draft and signings last summer. Look at the collective of their contributions this season and postseason. Bron wanted them to actively participate in trade deadline roster moves.. They refused to move DLo or Reeves. They just wasted an All NBA season from LeBron and a 70 game play season from AD. Wont get another from both.

Damn....I guess it's reputation

He should have been thrown out last night, because Draymond would have if he tried to pull that knee and trip shit.
Click to expand...

The NBA admitted this shit is all about reputation. Nobody else would have been suspended a third of a season for what Draymond did. Draymond wouldn’t just have been thrown out for what Embiid did, he’d have been suspended. Again.

Meanwhile Embiid has played in half as many games and has more flagrants but has never had a major suspension! Draymond is much more visible as the anchor of the team that has been in the Finals for more than half of the past decade but the NBA is letting narrative bullshit override what happens on the court.

Meh

U niggas had like 2 or 3 seasons without Magic and immediately went into Snaq and Kobe.

Same with Kobe to King.

3 seasons after Lebron and u will be right back in it.

Somebody will carrry on Tradition.

The last HOF yall drafted was from the 80s(not trades or FA)

Lake Show will be fine.
Click to expand...
since 1990 the Lakers have drafted 2 HOF players. Divac and Kobe. We haven't "drafted" teams since Magic and the 80's, or West in the 60's. The last homegrown teams go back to Big George Mikan.

They need to get their shit together. Too bad none of Jerry's son's got his swagger.

After Game 2, Robert Horry as an analyst chastised LeBron and his fans on the Laker post game broadcast. He blamed Bron for taking bad shots and not getting AD the ball in the 4th since AD hasn't played well late. Just the fact he made a point to act like Bron fans don't accept any criticism of him when he's the most hyper criticized NBA player and face of the franchise let's you know the tone of the organization. Their sentiment is AD is the star and Bron is an anchor holding him and them back. The insecurity over Bron overshadowing Kobe and the franchise itself is real.

Lakers franchise never really deserved Bron, but it was his dream to play there so he's done that. Again, at this point him leaving and them falling apart for a decade after his departure does more for his legacy at this point than winning them another chip. They have never appreciated his leadership and just the fact no one is gonna want to play there when he bounces, he brought their crediblity back. The are gonna be the Chicago Bulls of the West Coast soon. No one is signing up to come behind this but mid free agents tryna get paid.

I saw the clip posted here. It was odd how he prefaced his commentary with "i know people not gonna like this.." or something to that effect. Odd because he acts as if criticizing Lebron isnt commonplace in his industry and among Laker fanbase. Its literally a cottage industry built around doing so. Its sad the environment doesnt have critics balanced and informed enough to hold Jeanie and Rob to account. LeBron criticism is fair, but to ignore the abject ineptitude of Laker front office and execs is criminal.
