lol man i need to stay out this thread. you all are making me sad.

its not like he died. he will be back. probably not the same but hell i enjoyed mj be a shell of himself on the wizards.

just an all around bad season

 

[antbanks81]

First rosé now this. I can't remember a season as bad as this.

But if there is any way possible, I know he will find it

 

[cash money 1999]

wouldnt this if anything help us keep dwight howard?

i mean its officially his team , he was gonna be asked to

wait another year ....also i dont think he wants to leave

$30 million on the table along with the money he would

make by being in a major city like los angeles

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Wait Dwight could be making $30m a year?? How far into the luxury tax are the Lakers gonna be if that happens

And to think young Buss was trying to shave payroll earlier in the season

 

[zk1mpls]

Does any Laker fan in here want Dantoni to be the coach next year?

Never wanted him to even be the coach this year. :\

Hopefully I can still fly out over there and still catch one of Kobe's games before he hangs 'em up. :\

[percy.]

Well, at least we know Kobe is still awake. Several hours later and I still can't believe it. He didn't even have to shoot the free throws but still did and MADE both.

That sounded like a retirement speech :\

















I'm just kidding

I can't believe this happened. This is officially the season from hell.

 

[puglife]

as much as I clearly was rooting against the lakers lately...you never want to see something like that happen. it might have been a freak thing, but I'm just gonna assume that it was his age and him playing all those minutes lately finally catching up to him.

that being said, Dwight was phenomenal at the free throw line last night and pau played a great game. hopefully Dwight doesn't start to feel some loyalty to the lakers now that Kobe's hurt so we can still make a run at him this summer

 

[tomdiginson]

Not a laker fan, but damn I feel bad for Kobe. This is something I never expected to see in my life time happen to him.

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

[COLOR=#red]His mental makeup is amazing...I don't even think it's possible for him to feel sorry for himself. Never say die, never quit, it's never over...heck forget sports...incorporate that into your personal life and see how far you go.[/COLOR]

 

[pr0phecy718]

thats why Kobe has been one of my favorite players since his rookie year

 

[knightngale]

I wanna see Mitch keep talking about "we believe this team has what it takes to win it all so no moves will be made" for the 3rd year in a row.

 

[essential1]

Can't explain how sick I feel this morning..

 

[menacin methods]

He came back into the game and made both free throws. Respect to one of the greatest.

 

[thasoleful1]

still in disbelief

 

[lver of jordan]

With the minutes MDA is putting Kobe through, something was bound to happen. Sucks it had to be this injury....

This

 

[la kb24]

I woke up checked my phone to see who won, go to espn then wtf kobe hurt. this guy works to hard

 

[kingkoopa]

Me and my boys where saving up for a trip to la for next year to watch Kobe live for the first time seeing how it might be his last year.... If I only had a time machine...., this is sick!:x

 

[the natural mystic]

Dominate rehab Kobe.

 

[MVP]

Still feel like crap this morning. We were joking that he would have to die out on the court for us this season and he really did. Just pushed everything to it's maximum limits and beyond. Been watching this guy since '96 and never seen someone be so defiant in the face of immense adversity and excruciating pain. His play style may make people cringe, his personality may rub people the wrong way, but you can't deny that he's given everything he has to this franchise in pursuit of greatness. I know this isn't the end, but it damn sure feels like a long intermission; get well soon Bean.

And all that being said we still have a chance to get to the dance. 2 game winning streak to get it done, let's go Dwight, Pau, Nash, and the rest of the squad. Do it for Kobe.

[geoff2005]

if this is truly his last year im glad i was able to catch the Hornets game with floor seats for watch mamba in action. Hopefully we still have him for at least 2 more years.

regarding Dwight. I see dwight staying but at the same time i guess it depends what LA does and where kobes injury is at.

example if Kobe is out for majority of next season. Will the lakers be making moves or stick to their cap release plan for 15-16 i think.

Im guessing they will still be sticking to the "lebron plan" so if Dwight is in for that I dont think it will matter whether or not kobe comes back since hell wait for a new star when all the cap is cleared.


also I dont see dwight moving anywhere unless Lakers dont have a solid plan or future for dwight or a team that has a potential of championship run offers him a spot.
