Wow, that's what, the 8th time you lied in the last two days? Don't you have to sacrifice something serious at this point to cover all that sin?



For starters, that's 7 years with Shaq and 7 years with Pau, which already is as many total years of star teammates as Bron had.


Glen Rice was a 31yo All-Star when he joined the Lakers. That year he had averaged 22-4-2 and led the Hornets to the ECSF where they took the Bulls to 5 games. So no, he wasn't washed.

Ron Artest was a 29yo All-Defensive when he joined the Lakers. That year he had averaged 17-5-3 and All-Defensive Team and led the Rockets to the WCSF where they took the Lakers to 7 games. So no, he wasn't washed.

Dwight Howard was a 26yo All-Star and 1st-team All-NBA when he joined the Lakers. That year he had averaged 21-15-2 and 2 blocks/game while making 1st-team All-Defensive and being an MVP candidate. So no, he wasn't washed.


All five (Shaq, Rice, Pau, Artest, Dwight) were #1 options in their prime who had led their teams to the playoffs when they joined the Lakers. Shaq, Pau, and Dwight continued to make All-Star and All-NBA teams after they joined the Lakers, while Rice/Artest didn't because they had to take lesser roles as #3 options. And that's without Gary Payton (20-4-8 All-Star when he joined the Lakers) and Karl Malone (21-8-5 when he joined the Lakers), who did decline a lot in their first year.

oh brother :mjlol:
an actual hall of fame player didnt average 20 ppg with kobe in all 7 years he was on that team...after putting up 20 ppg in 2 of the 3 years prior to playing with kobe. (gasol)
so in a slower pace where teams shoot even less 3s...........kuzma would average 20. got it :mjlol:
he's not even a lamar odom level player

kobe held the franchise hostage and told them nikkas make moves or im going to the clippers or bulls. this is documented.
lakers called his bluff and they came to a compromise and got him better talent.
the kuzma hill yal dying on is weird.
the nikka was mediocre as hell and put up numbers in low leverage situations on mediocre teams.
The stupidity.. :wow:

Bet you have Velcro straps on your shoes instead of laces huh.. :francis:

there may be some truth to this


his rookie year all you heard about was Kuz's work ethic. So much so Kobe took interest and invited him to dinner and was publicly praising him as well. But the last 2 seasons Kuz hasn't improved much, and you stopped hearing people praise his work ethic. People used to say Kuz > BI and it was cuz it seemed like Kuz was just determined to get better at a rapid pace. But he hit a wall. Feel like if Kobe was still around he could've helped reign Kuz in and keep him on that tight offseason program.
