Kobe on DA & JR (1/2): “I can relate to it. I think for the young players now it’s hard for them to understand what I had to go thru.

Kobe (2/2): "I didn’t start my first 3 & a half seasons. I came off the bench for 3 straight years, but I learned a lot as well." (on TWC)

Kobe Bryant then said he would talk to D'Angelo Russell & Julius Randle & explain that it's just a process.

Difference being Kobe was on the bench for a 60+ win team, not a lottery rebuild.

But still, at least Kobe is going to talk to them and help them understand, while Byron folds and unfolds his arms all day. [/quote] Bro, I'm telling you.

"Man, when I was a rook, I ain't start for 3.5 years. Lotta learning took place, though."

"Yeah, maybe I should do that. Good point."

"You're welcome."

We are the Kobes, in every aspect. It's so unbelievably obvious to me.

Byron said it was Kobe's idea to let the kids play late in the game.

Kobe already a better coach than Byron is.

Kobe was the one drawing up the SLOB play for D'Angelo at the end of the game too. 

I watched the bench during the time outs. Pretty obvious how they all tune out Byron when the assistants or Kobe is talking.

He was playing well with Kobe in there too. Was picking it up these past few weeks. Randle and Russell were simply benched not because of performance, but instead were scapegoats. 

Plus I feel like Kobe legitimately likes Russell as well as Randle 

. That should tell Laker fans that they'll be special.

"The Lakers have granted Scott the autonomy to coach his team without interference. But Kupchak and/or Buss will likely meet with Scott next week after the team's eight-game trip to gain a better understanding of his thought process on how he will develop the team's young players, according to a team source familiar with the situation."

[CP1708]

That top 3 pick is as good as ours.

Bring it home Byron.

 

[purpnyellow]

good to finally see Dlo play aggressive .... Randle to me is really impressive but every shot he takes look weird to me lol

 

[illyrad]

RUss been playin' with that chip since he got benched. Byron stealth coach of the year?

[CHAOSE57]

Good game by the young guys, even though they lost, it was a W in my book.

[/quote]Man I need to get that shooting shirt. Good lord. Every time I see it :x

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Yeah, that shooting shirt is real nice. I also really like our Christmas jerseys this season. Looked on NBA and saw that they were $109, I was cool with that. Went to Staples Center and those mofos had them going for $129 :x :x :x :x

I already know the response to this, and why, but I gotta get this off my chest and off my mind.

When Jerry West left to Memphis, I remember reading that a major part of the reason was that he has never seen an organization cater so much to the whims of one player, and he wanted no part of that, so he bailed.

Response: "Whatever, Ska. Dude loves Kobe. He drafted him."

Why: No links.

 

[willzway26]

Ska we all knew that when Shaq left

 

[youngwolf]

Byron said it was Kobe's idea to let the kids play late in the game.

Just when I wanted to give him credit for letting them finish out the game, I read this.

He's as good as gone. I wish I could hear what he ends up saying to Mitch and Co. at the meeting.

 

[grandtheftbike]

Ska talmbout Phil?

 

[licensed to ball]

Ska talmbout DFish?

 

[willzway26]

Sorry but Coach Scott lit a fire under 1 and 30 *** man, they weren't playing with this type of aggression and basketball IQ when they were starting.  They were just doing whatever on offense and playing no defense.  They get benched, and all of a sudden they're playing smart and making plays. 

Those two were underperforming all year, they sure didn't look like lottery picks most games.  This is the NBA you have to bring your A game every night, and nothing is given to you, you have to earn it.

So I agree with Scott, and you can tell by how they played it worked.  I worked for Clarkson didn't it?

No impress, no make laugh.

No rep.

Those are the rules. I didn't make them. I mean, I did, but... :\ *shrugs*

[fun guy]

Yea, I'm gana give byron credit for light the fire under the young guys, particularly Russell. Dude seems to feel entitled, so its good to see him play with a some aggression. Hopefully after seeing he can get to the rim at the NBA level, it changes his entire approach to the game. 

Still, byron loses credit for not being the one who let them play in the 4th. One step forward, two steps back...all the way back to TWC.
