**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

People that think Lonzo sucks don’t actually watch him play or they don’t understand basketball
 
7 year anniversary of the Dwight trade. What we thought was the beginning of a new era of Laker greatness was actually the beginning of the worst 7 year run of Lakers basketball we've ever had (and the beginning of the end of Dwight's career). I remember how excited I was at the time. Crazy that its already been 7 years

Nah, can't agree with that.

He was a GREAT on both ends so of course he wasn't gonna check the other teams best guard 100% of the time (even MJ ain't do that) but most of the time, yeah he was fighting and locking down.

These Wade and Lebron moments are late in his career.



Fighting through screens and staying in front of AI


lol you are PICKING AND CHOOSING... there are also tons of vids of on youtube of him playing lazy defense as well

Like I said earlier, he played defense when he wanted to... but he wasnt an elite defender every night...
Even Tex Winter said his defense wasnt that great

What great scorer is a "elite defender every night"? :lol:

You said "most of time he wasn't fighting through screens and this and that" and that's not true in his prime.

lol now we are gonna trim the timeline down to "his prime" hahahahaha, YOU CLEARLY STILL DONT GET THAT YOU ARE PICKING AND CHOOSING but live your life
 
who care about fighting over screens or rotating

Kobe would lock that *** down 1 on 1 n then drop a 50 piece on that head top. elite on ball defender.. **** a team defense anyways

So then another question, what player has played great defense their entire career? Everybody knows Kobe wasn't really playing great defense post 08. :lol:

You thought you was breaking news with that?
 
Kawhi is one of the 3 or 4 greatest defenders ever and even he when his offensive load increased saw considerable slippage. Nobody in history has been able to give maximum effort on both ends every single night.

Jordan in 87-88. Won Defensive POY and averaged 35 ppg
