How about "Events that have Happened since the Last Playoff Appearance." Since it's been so long, it would need to have Volume 1, Volume 2... :bonk:

Continuing with Kobe:

Yeah, he's got some problems, selfishness being the most oft-used term, but I like his dedication to the game, unlike that Big Doofus, who's selfish and egomaniacal in his own way.

His introvertedness doesn't help his cause either... He's no Magic Johnson, whom I consider the quintessential unselfish team player and one of the most charismatic players to ever play the game...

I really don't see a championship in L.A. until they can get a guy who can deal with the likes of Duncan, Wallace, the Big Doofus, and others... Vlade's always been inconsistent and Mihm isn't big enough...

People are going to read the beginning and go...huh?

Anyways...I'm NOT anti-Kobe...but I think Shaq was much better and much more a team player than Kobe. I don't think Shaq's selfish. He might have an ego...but so does EVERYBODY, or almost everybody, at that level!!! I personally would much rather have seen Phil and Shaq stay and Kobe given the boot... Oh well. :grumble:

A guy who always complained about not getting enough "touches?" Hmm.

I never heard that he complained about that. I do know that he always spread the ball around. Looked for the open man when he was doubled, etc...he might have complained about not getting enough touches during losses when Kobe played 1 on 5 every once in a while and they never ran the ball inside. Anyways...compared to Kobe...I always thought he was a team player...and got the idea that most of his teammates did too...

Ok I know it's on pre-season and nothing actually counts but my warriors are 2-0! Woo hoo! Where's Kevin to help me celebrate?!?! :hehe: :hehe:

Better celebrate now since I might not get this chance again in the regular season :hehe: :hehe:

Kevin is like wildly annoyed.

Up to a couple of seasons ago the Warriors trained, and played half of their pre season games at St. Mary's College... which I could pretty much walk to, (Okay, so I drove, but that's only because I'm lazy.) and watch for free.

And now that they're becoming worth watching???? Gone!!

How pumped am I? I've always worn my Warriors hat while walking the dogs at night.

But lately I've been wearing it out in broad daylight. And nobody's giving me any grief over it. In fact... people seem excited to get the season started!

Now that's the spirit! I think the whole western conference has gotten better this off season and not to mention a east coast playoff team is now in the west but I'm still taking my chances with the Warriors not just making the playoffs but taking the 7th seed! :woot: :mrgreen:

forget about that Big Doofus, let's focus on all those other doofi (what the heck is the plural for doofus?) up in the Lakers' front office. Kobe's got them all on puppet strings. Kobe's a jerk and he's selfish, not to mention stupid but that's a given. His wife's stupid also for taking that huge ring right after he admitted it. And his guilty plea pretty much admits it also. Like waht Phil Jackson said, Kobe's uncoachable. I don't care if he makes all these great shots, he still make's idiotic plays and he's still cocky as hell. Even his dad disowned him. Woo! Go Nowitzki! Go Yao! Go T-Mac!

my bad...it's doofuses not doofi :bonk:

Guilty plea?? Kobe never admitted guilt in court... In fact the only admission he made was adultery...


Forget about Dallas, BTW... They're not going anywhere with that jerkoff Mark Cuban running the show.

I was going to ask the same thing. What guilty plea?
