Can anyone answer this question

I have been going crazy trying to find something out about Jerry West. In 2007 he stated that he was going to leave the Grizzlies when his contract expired which he did. But he also said that he was willing to stay on as a consultant if it was asked of him. Does anyone have a link to show if he did or didn’t stay on as a consultant? Everything I read indicates that he didn’t but there isn’t anything that I can find that proves if he did or didn’t.

When I'm wrong I can admit it.

Shannon Brown is not the better option over Farmar at the PG position. Farmar right now is the better PG. But I still think that Farmar will not be the Lakers next PG after Fisher. Fish has already said that he isn’t retiring and Farmar is now talking the way that Fish did when he wasn’t a starter right before he left the Lakers for the Warriors:

Trevor Ariza got booted against Toronto for throwing an elbow to the back of DeRozan's Head

He missed.

But who would have thought the Trevor Ariza would get kicked out of a game before Ron Artest this season?

If it had been the other way, do you know how many “I told you so” posts and columns there would be this morning?

Instead, it was the exact opposite of expectations! Which goes to show, we don’t know jack as a group. But no one will ever admit to being completely wrong.

I read that to

and I didn’t even think of that. You are 100% right about that.

Anybody concerned/not concerned over Pau wanting more looks?

On one hand his lack of shot attempts seems to motivate his effectiveness on the boards. On the other hand, maybe he does need more looks.

He needs more looks but during the game vs Utah he got A LOT of touches, he simply wasn’t taking shots when he got the ball. When he says he wants more shots thats up to him to shoot the ball. Generally the players neglect him at times (especially during the regular season last year) but I didnt like him saying he wanted more shots during the Utah game.

He got a lot of touches but his energy wasn’t there. It didn’t seem as if he was making the right places or playing the way the Lakers needed him to, especially with Kobe feeling ill.

I agree here

He gets alot of touches actually but even when he isnt doubled (or doubled very hard) he just passes it back out to the perimeter with the shot clock running down. Its like WTF?

hell yeah Pau needs more looks

some fans here got upset in the past when I suggested that against teams where the Lakers have a clear height advantage they should pound the ball into Gasol and Bynum 95 percent of the time and that they should be option number one offensively instead of Kobe. That seems even more realistic now that Kobe is hurt. But Kobe is too competitive to admit weakness and allow them to do that. His competitiveness will not allow him to use his injury as an excuse. Which is great as long as the Lakers are winning. But, that strategy would not have helped them against Utah.

If the defense packs it in and dares you to shoot

You have to make the outside shots, then the pass inside will open up like Moses did for the Red Sea.

To recap:
Red Sea = Defense that packs it in
Moses = make outside shots

In light of the team's final trip up north for the season. I thought we go down memory lane to look back at a classic game against the Warriors in Oakland. The day was April 20, 1999, yes the day of Columbine Massacre. Also, has anyone noticed that we have had a lot of classic games against the Warriors even though we have always assembled better teams than they did.?

Heres a new mix I made.

Kobe hasnt always been known as a clutch player. In game 5 of the 1997 Eastern Conference Semifinals, he missed a shot to win the game in the 4th quarter and 2 three-pointers to tie the game in the last minute of overtime, all of the shots being airballs. With that the Utah Jazz ended the playoffs for the Lakers in the 2nd round. Shaquille O'Neal commented years later that "Kobe was the only guy who had the guts at the time to take shots like that."

Ever since that horrible experience in his rookie year, Kobe has worked harder and has learned how to make those shots with the game on the line. This vid features some lines from Carmelo Anthony's Become Legendary commercial as well as some of Kobe's recent gamewinners.

Enjoy!
Kobe Game Winner vs Raptors - Whoa, I watched this and then I read the comments on Youtube claiming Kobe travelled, which I had not heard of. Then, after watching a few times, I have to say, I agree, Kobe changes his pivot foot before putting the ball down on the floor. I also think there's no way a ref catches that in real time, and even if they do, they can't be sure enough to call it then, either.
