Kareem was the oldest basketball player to be the best best player in the world. Kareem was the best player in the world in June 1985 when he was 38 and kicked Bird's ass. Kareem was the best player in the world in 1971 when he was 22 and kicked Wilt's ass.

Gerry, I know you love Shaq. Do you think Shaq was better than Kareem?

He'd man up to it. He defended Kobe as well as anyone.

Gerry we still an interview with Raja Bell where you ask him what Kobe and Iverson actually said to each other while talking trash at the end of game 2 of the 2001 NBA Finals. He was standing by. Kobe guarded Iverson. Raja guarded Kobe. We also need to know what it was like when Kobe hit not one, but two buzzer beaters on Raja in the same game when Raja played for the Suns in the 2006 NBA playoffs. After the OT buzzer beater the crowd was chanting MVP (a knock on Nash) and the Lakers were playing We Will Rock You by Queen on the loud speakers.

Kiffin and Wade are like Jimmy Swaggart and Huey Long. How can an entire state be that crooked?

The Mitchell deal will be a good test case for the SEC. Same with Kohler at BYU for the Big 12. Goober boys played in the NBA summer league and were therefore absolutely paid by and on NBA teams. No different than Kobe and LeBron playing in summer league.

The NCAA is actually doing fairly well legally in these eligibility cases. They have won numerous stays against local, cracker jack judges in the last month. Kiffin and Will Wade are about to get their butts handed to them. Louisiana will be reaffirmed as the armpit of America.

It's quite amusing to watch various fan bases come up with reasons why the contract their guy signed or the roster list he appeared on aren't really contracts or real roster lists.

Hey @Gerry Hamilton. Kobe Bryant is widely considered the best point-of-attack and perimeter defender in NBA history, earning 9 NBA All-Defensive First Team selections and 3 Second Team selections (12 total) for his elite defense. He locked down players as diverse as Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd to Tracy McCrady and LeBron James.

My handle is Smoky Bear and I'm tail grabbing your ass right now!

@Gerry Hamilton I can say this for Lakers fans thinking about the post-Kobe era with LeBrick and Fat Boy Luka.

Maybe Mr. Howard should talk to fellow father Raja Bell.

If he didn't shoot from his right ear, I'd consider it.

Let's talk trash and kick ass boys. This is for Matthew. Kobe told the Sixers he was coming back to his hometown Philly to "cut their hearts out" prior to the Lakers coming back to Philadelphia to win all three games against the loser Iverson Sixers in June 2001. He backed it up and did it. That's what we need here.

I think Rasheem Biles said his uncle was a member of The Whispers. I mean, damn. Whispers performed for 1987 Lakers. Second greatest basketball team ever.
