It's cool C.A.
The game’s going all right so far, but the Nuggets ended the 1st on a 10-0 (I think) run
"I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan. I only want to be Kobe Bryant,"
-Kobe Bryant
late? late? Eat shit and die motherfu***r.
Was that too much?
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
I think it is completely appropriate...
considering this is the final game of the preseason. This is huge! It sets the tone for the entire um… practice tomorrow?

Hey, I am married............
I get laid all the time…………um, nevermind.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
Mark Jackson...
Ty Lawson among the best college players ever?
One of the few things I definitely am not happy to have back.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
You mean misguided
hyperbole?
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
Naturally
Jackson is guilty of hyperbole so often it’s annoying as hell.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
yeah but a lot of that hyperbole is "kobe-centric"
which makes it OK.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
as in............
“mama, there goes that man”
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
I absolutely
Hate that line. It’s so cliche when he uses it ALL THE TIME. He’s a horrible analyst but he doesn’t have to be mind-numbingly annoying at the same time.
JVG at least has insightful analysis from time to time when he’s not on his shtick.

I think they were talking about Hansborough (sp?)
but still…
I love Van Gundy though! and Calabro is the best play by play guy I have ever heard.

Ah, that makes more sense
For the best college player, Hansborough can be somewhere in that discussion, but definitely not that high.

I love Jeff Van Gundy....
Bill Walton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, etc……Hansborough, not even close.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
Well, there's a whole legion of guys
I’d put above Hansborough, but there’s no denying he was a great college player.

AMMO! every shot he makes I get excited.
I don’t expect much out of him, but it would be nice to have a shooter to bring off the bench besides Sasha.

Must point out how perception changes people's thinking
After seeing the Laker bench’s new ritual after the first shot, and also their pregame “ring around the rosie” dance, it struck me that if this were any other team, the national media would be fawning about “how much fun they are having” and “how these guys love to play together”, usually using the Lakers with Kobe as a contrast. But you don’t hear it put that way. And I don’t want them to, I just feel that it confirms my feelings that there is a double standard. These are the types of arguments that are hard to show, because it’s usually theoretical, after another team has praise heaped on them for “having a good time”, you want to scream that they wouldn’t say the same thing for your team given the same circumstances. But in this case, it’s happened so, I want to point out that it’s not being displayed as an example of how much fun the Lakers have and how much they like playing together.
It’s kind of like when everyone would talk about how Kobe was a bad leader, or free agents didn’t want to play. I would keep saying that as soon as the team won, those perceptions would change. But it’s a hard argument to make in real time. But lo and behold, the Lakers started winning, and now Kobe is a great leader, and free agents will play for less than market value for the Lakers.

Dude!
You need your own blog or something. (I mean that as a compliment). You probably already do. At least write on Bleacher Report or something. I hope you don’t mind. Just my humble opinion. I still think you are that writer from the OC Register Kevin Ding …lol j/k.
Great post!
