Kobe makes it clear Lakers are still his team

[Better]

I'm psychic, guys.

When I was logging into to BGOL, I remembered that this thread was posted and I thought to myself, 'I'll bet my bottom dollar cranrab is going H.A.M in that thread'.

...and what do you know?

Either I'm psychic, or cranrab is pathologically obsessed with Kobe Bryant.

Personally, I think it's the former.

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

or they decide to play the 2-2-1 set only with the starters, and let the B squad run "5 out".

after the fakers acquired steve nash, they didn't even need dwight howard to be contenders in the WORSTern conference. in the PUSSific division, with steve nash and pau gasol the fakers are already good enough to win the division and get home court at least through the first round.

How many champs have come out of the Worstern conference since 1999?

Thought so.

There you go again with that LeasTern media bias.

I'm pretty sure cranrab is a Voltron comprised of Smush Parker; Samaki Walker; Vlade Divac; Shaq; and Katelyn Faber.

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

but the most shameful rule change came in 1999-00 when they banned all contact defensively between half court and the FT line.

not surprisingly, that season saw the following 6 in the top 10 scorers:

vince carter
allen iverson
gary payton
jerry stackhouse
grant hill
michael finley

wow... that's a seriously offensively-challenged list in terms of efficiency... you've got some world class chuckers there

 

[tecumseh7]

I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he said! Dwight is a beast, but he's done NOTHING yet to benefit the Lakers... Let him achieve something with them, and then talk... Until then, Kobe is right, this is HIS team...

C/S...this statement says it all. But the 'mental-state' of Dwight......? A very confused young man!

kobe said it right.....nash old and d12 doesnt have no leadership mentality.they will be interesting to watch in the playoffs following an 82 game schedule....gnna be funny watching kobe going on off on mafuccas

and after 3 of those, how many "knowledgeable" fakers fans were able to talk about (or is it around?) my princeton O/dwight howard question?

I don't know shit about the Princeton O and I'm the only one that got the question correct.

If Kobe plan is to go off on motherfuckers then I can't see how different this years team will be from last... Matter of fact they would wind up being worse due to Howard being the man bitch he is and being forced to play sit back and watch Kobe chuck..
But sadly this may be plan B if the so called Princeton offense is implemented..

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

wrong and wrong.

thanks to the rule changes, 2s and 3s were able to pad their stats with the FTAs from manufactured scoring opportunities.

example? jerry stackhouse in 1996-97 attempted 667 FTAs. after the disgusting rule change in 2000-01? 810 FTAs.

the league knew that today's players are far less talented than the players of the past, so they had to manufacture offensive opportunities in order to create stars.

example? in 2000-01, tracy mcgrady played 3,087 minutes and had 587 FTAs. in 2002-03, tracy mcgrady played 2,954 minutes but had 726 FTAs.

but the sheep saw the inflated scoring averages, and didn't realize they were getting duped by skewed FTA opportunities and an expanded no-charge zone.

the NBA once again had bankable stars, because the fans mistakenly thought they were seeing talent when they were really getting an inferior product.

Depsite these rule changes you talking about. Where am I wrong ?

Ray Allen # 24 All Time
Allen Iverson #17 All Time
Gary Payton #28 All Time
Kobe Bryant #5 All Time

All future Hall of Famers.

These are only "2's" from this "rule change" & "stat padded" era to crack the top 30 All Time scoring list. Vince Carter, Stackhouse & T-Mac arent in the top 30. Where are the rest ?

Yeah. That question was sidestepped.... Im really interested to see how this offense flows...

 

[cranrab]

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

already answered that in post #47

"the rest" aren't hurling up the masonry to the order of 5,000 additional career FGAs

I think they will run some very mutated version of that offense.

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

they won't have to change up much, really.

it's just boggling to my mind that the fakers are contemplating running an O where ball movement/sharing is required.

on another note, coach jordan's description of the princeton O is almost to the letter the same description of the triple post O.

if true it seems weird they would do this since there was this whole production about how they were moving away from the triangle.

well if so that means they should be more comfortable this year.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

yeah, you typed all that to show the rest of us you really don't know how to recognize a false equivalence when SVT drops one.

bravo.

With all the attempts to deflect the question, you still haven't said shit, so that basically means what anyone with common sense knows, you claim to be this big genius but at the end of the day, all of your pointless rants about Kobe don't really amount to shit but an obsessively jealous child who lessens himself by 'going all in' to try to discredit a man who doesn't even know you exists, thus showing how dissatisfied you are with yourself...

And you still haven't named ONE player who fit the criteria of the direct question asked of you... Pitiful...

what's pitiful is that you are unable to see that my response IS the answer.

ALL of the subset of players defined in my response is the answer.



god damn shame.

illiterate and caping at the same time.

I can't wait for next month.

I can't wait for next month.

you guys resigned thibs for 4 years. Good move.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

you guys resigned thibs for 4 years. Good move.

Was a great move for my Bulls....

but this Laker's story will be the most watched and I can't wait to see how Kobe plays with Nash and Howard. I also want to see the Knicks and Nets battle for New Yawk. Too many great stories not to mention OKC and whether or not the Heat are one hit wonders.

God damn shame is that you tried to generalize and direct question talking about subsets... name specific players that qualify to the question? You can't, and you keep dancing around the question because outside of your blind hate you don't know shit!!! Normally when someone talks circles around a question, it's because they have the inability to say 'I don't know'... that would make it much easier for you... I'm actually through with your clown ass, I've asked you 3 times to give specific players which fit the criteria and you can't... Done playing with children...

thanks for proving (again) that you can't read.

i don't need to name specific players because there are too many to list. instead i provided you a whole group. two, in fact.

so sorry for you. they do have adult literacy programs. try one.

simple bitch even quoted the answer in post #51 of this thread. SMDH

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

why the laughing?

tobe's legacy is all over the fakers franchise.

taking 3 seasons to get the starting spot.

finishing last place in the division and no playoffs.

going up 3-1 and not being able to close out a first round series.

shooting the fakers out of the 2004 NBA finals.

quitting in games.

throwing teammates under the bus, whining and bitching, demanding to be traded.

all the greats do those things, don't they?

I can read, obviously you can't! It's easy to make a generalization, with no true foundation and avoid an DIRECT QUESTION!!! The original question wasn't to give a subset?!?!? of players, but to give actual players... A subset doesn't say shit and is a deflection because your ass doesn't have a true answer to the question, because there isn't any...

You are the one with the issue, because with all your bullshit hate and trying to pull Kobe into a group of underachievers, etc., you have yet to link him to one individual, but make general whiny statements and continue to expose yourself as a reverse groupie... Truth is, you would love to be him, instead of an irrelevant idiot who's passion in life is trolling Kobe threads and trying to be irreverent... You are a really pitiful case, and you will probably have to seek therapy once he retires, because in some twisted way he's given you an identity...

 

[xfactor]

Re: tobe makes it clear fakers are fine without him

Funny you mention this because I'm pretty sure that this is what will happen to you stans once wobe retires.

You and others have proven that you aren't fans of basketball, or even fans of the lakers so it is obvious that once wobe retires you and your stan bretheren will be on suicide watch hoping to latch on to the next overrated player for a large market team.

My pick is that most of the stans will start to follow Derrick Rose and tout him as the next great player. Because your loyalty to wobe will never allow you to root for a player like LeBron, who is the best non-big we've seen since Jordan

You are a really pitiful case, and you will probably have to seek therapy once he retires, because in some twisted way he's given you an identity...

Your overstating just a bit, buts thats typical of your comments in regards to Kobe Bryant. For which you appear like clock work. I rarely see you grace us with your presents in regards to other basketball topics & never with same thoroughness.

Its not fiction read your own post.

not fiction? link to my "own post" about the media in this thread.

overstating? uh, unlike your caping posts, all of my posts in this thread have been fact based and fully supported by historical evidence. yours have been by and large irrational stan-like caping.

example? your poorly reasoned position that rules changes to increase scoring output should yield more 2s and 3s appearing in the top tier(s) of the all time scoring list.

that clearly reflects poor rational thought because their scoring is augmented proportionately, not exponentially. your asking "where's the rest?" demonstrates that you are unable to grasp the very simple truth that rules changes increases their scoring output, but does not mean they will force up THOUSANDS of more bad shots.
