I enjoy reading, but I'm not a very good writer, it's hard for me to translate my thoughts into words. But even if that's the case, I still want to contribute whatever amount I could to SS&R. This blog is already loaded with great writers, and that's awesome because there's always something new and interesting for me to read everyday . But I realize that it's not just in me to be one of those great writers, so instead I'd contribute as an artist.
There's been a lot of NBA stars to superheroes comparison going on lately, especially with the new big 3 in Miami (eg Wade = Batman, LeBron = Robin, Bosh = Batdog, Batgirl, Alfred). And some old ones, like Wade = Flash because of his speed, and LeBron = Iron Man because he's unstoppable whenever his game/armor is on, but inside that armor is just another self-centered, flamboyant millionaire. So I thought about what would the Lakers be if they were superheroes, and here's what I came up with:

It's up to you guys to analyze why I choose them, and please feel free to share your comparisons as well, it might give me new inspirations to work on. Thanks.

ok im down with......
the KOBE one!!!
I don't do it for your thanks, I do it because I had a calling, but I do love the support you give me and my Soldiers.
Kobe=Wolverine
because they are the leaders, the most fierce on the team, and they heal quickly.
"Anyone crazy enough to mess with me is crazy enough to play with me." - Kobe
yup yup

yap, pretty much
he’s also indestructible, a loner (but is followed by many). not to mention the most bad-ass mutant there is.
"Love me or hate me; it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fade-away, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved for the exact same reasons." - Kobe Bryant
I had an argument with a friend
who thought that Cyclops was a better mutant than Wolverine.

BOOO!! what a loser friend! lol

maybe you should stop being friends with him lol
I mean, come on, seriously… he’s indestructible!
Today's sports media excels at over-reaction to a single event and specializes in hyperboles. But hey, it's that or my biochem textbook...
He combated me by saying
that if Cyclops used a full blast on Wolverine he could make him disintegrate and kill him. lol.

no
wolverine wasnt a leader
"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women." -The Barbarian
Nope
He led by example and many times he was wrong, but he always atoned for it in the end.

Xavier was thier leader
but Logan was his captain
"Love me or hate me; it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fade-away, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved for the exact same reasons." - Kobe Bryant
in the original animated series of 90's
Cyclops was co-captain with Storm….
So you're saying
only one person can lead a group at a time. Wolverine was enough of a rebel that he had his own brand of leadership for those that chose to follow. And he was like the best in combat training.
And rballer is right that Cyclops and Storm are usually the captains of the team. Xavier would’ve been like the strategizer and mentor.
Unfortunately the legend of MJ has long surpassed the reality of MJ. -Joshua S.
Sort of like how Kobe atoned for his bad Game 7 shooting
by grabbing 15 rebounds.
"Anyone crazy enough to mess with me is crazy enough to play with me." - Kobe
heres one for the Heat:
Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?

Heh, I reccommend this one.
For me its the consistent inconsistency that concerns me - PAGFL

Here's what was posted on Lakersground.net
Kobe = Wolverine
Best there is at what he does — and what he does isn’t very nice.
Fish = Cyclops
Team leader, hits from distance.
Pau = Beast
Big, strong, smart, hairy.
Bynum = Colossus
Strongest guy we got, but not always the meanest.
Artest = Gambit
Unpredictable and explosive.
Odom = Iceman
Cold-shooter, and still beats you.
Blake = Nightcrawler
Small but scrappy hand-to-hand fighter.
Walton = Forge
Smart… and that’s about it.
Sasha = Banshee
Whines opponents into submission.
Barnes = Warpath
Name says it all, folks.
Phil = Prof. Xavier
Master of mind games, gets inside your head.
And the Heat? Easy = The Brotherhood of Mutants?
Riley = Magneto
Unparalleled power to attract.
Wade = Quicksilver
X-Men equivalent of Flash.
MeBron = Sabretooth
Always in Wolverine’s shadow.
Bosh = Toad
Gangly arms and legs, mouth gets him into trouble.
Miller = Longshot
Self-explanatory name, and lucky jerk, too.
M
"In this program your passion bucket must be full to play SC." -- CRN, to Dan Patrick, 1/2008
Poor Luke
Walton = Forge
Smart… and that’s about it.

Pau as Beast is spot on
Brains and hair = Pau/Beast
"Literally every single team that's ever won a Championship has done it without LeBron James." -Seth Meyers
would that make Spolestra Mystique?
Since he’s under Riley but above everyone else?
http://bcnbatalk.wordpress.com/ - Scoops on Hoops!
Great list
You hit everybody perfectly.
"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women." -The Barbarian
how about Theo?!?

I don't think Old Man River is one of the X-Men
"There are no "Kobe Lovers", just people who are right." - Gil Meriken
Forgot Shannon...
Brown = Angel
High-flyer… not much else.

lol @ the Pau pic
