I am really interested in watching team USA in the FIBA world championships.
Those will be some great games, I wonder how they will do.
They shouldn’t have cut Gerald Wallace; arguably the best rebounder and defender on the team.
Very interesting to see Charley Rosen
compare MJ and Kobe’s basketball years in the league and try to predict as best as he can that Kobe might not have much in the tank. Interesting but I dont buy it. Kobe has a lot left in him.
"That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. " Kobe on Shaq being a leader
i hope Kobe reads it...
…this fill fuel the black mamba even more
"Lebron joins teams with his friends; Kobe’s enemies join teams with him." -Gil Meriken
Yeah Charley Rosen, wtf was that article?
Facts pulled out of air = prediction that Kobe will not score 20+ points a game in… 8 years? Okay… what’s the point of your made-up, pseudo analysis?
His super-macho ego dictated that he challenge even the biggest bigs by stubbornly driving the ball into the paint no matter what physical abuse awaited him there.
Super-macho ego? Heh, Wow. Thought this was about Lebron all of a sudden…
For me its the consistent inconsistency that concerns me - PAGFL
It's always AMMO Time, in spirit- DexterFishmore
Rosen's analysis is largely full of crap
Unless he’s focusing on very, very specific Xs and Os.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Just sharing. I’m kinda interested where is he going to sign.
Don’t you love the chase? Sometimes it doesn’t work out; those are the stakes. But when it does work out, it’s like having that first cigarette: your head gets all dizzy, your heart pounds, your knees go weak. Remember that?
If I was Laker player and they signed him I would never let my mom come to any games. ; )

Woj is conducting a massive LeBook burning.
Jazz? You mean that road bump that we ran over on our way to that last championship?
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...
Whats the status on our rookies?
Does Mitch still plan on signing em?
Born purple and gold. Live purple and gold. Die purple and gold.
you know who's PR staff just made another blunder:

Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?
So how many cops do you think is required to provide security for that bike event?

What a fool
Did all of Cleveland sleep with his mom or something? The amount of disrespect he has shown Cleveland, when all they did was love him, is amazing. He’s spitting in their faces for no reason. Unless he’s purposely playing the heel, this makes no sense.

Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men, living all together,
Yet they were all alone.
Nice!

It's somewhat predictable though. With Yao back the entire Chinese nation may watch this opening just to draw record viewers in.
BS!!! Why not the Magic? Nuggets? OKC? those teams are all better than the Rockets.
Yao and Kobe on TV for the Opener
that’s all the chinese will be watching lol
"Better learn not to talk to me. You shake the tree, a leopard's gonna fall out."- Kobe Bryant to JR Smith,who was talking trash, after dropping 49pts,10assits on the Nuggets in Game 2 of the '08 First round playoffs
Great point.
Kobe is more popular than Yao in China. Mega ratings for this game over there. Smart move by the NBA.

The Lakers always play lax on holidays. UGH, I might have to skip that one, so it wont ruin my Christmas again.
Hopefully the Staples Center officials are smarter this time and don't give out foam fingers.

Wow, Shaq is really gonna be a Celtic...
- Props to @SherrodbCSN in Boston for being first: Cs are indeed “close,” according to league source, to signing Shaq. Story soon on NBA.com.
- Center Shaquille O’Neal is “close” to signing with the Celtics, according to a source. Comcast Sports New England first broke the story.
-Comcast Boston reports Celtics close to a contract with Shaq. According to sources, #Cavs are not involved in sign-and-trade talks w/Celtics
- So if Shaq goes to Boston, it is likely going to be on a veteran’s minimum contract of $1.4 million.
Here’s some links: NBA.com / CSN
3peat.
I just don't understand why he would it.
His legacy is going to take a hit as well. One of the all-time Laker greats becomes a Celtic.

Shaq is not as concerned with his legacy as he with who's going to take his Superman mantle away from him.
After all, those tattoos mean something.

Shaq's going to get boo'ed loudly when the Celts come to LA
Maybe he’s jealous of all the boos LeBron will get in Cleveland.

Poor Shaq
He is one of the very very few players who I have hated, loved, and hated but still enjoyed watching. That is saying something about the man though. He is pure entertainment which is basically why we watch the game.
The entertainment is great as long as you are winning titles but other than that
the sideline antics and joking around really are meaningless if your team doesnt win a title. Just ask Lebron.
