  1. Gonna need more offensive consistency from Wemby to win the series against OKC. Hope he's ready.
  2. Not playing to win is playing with fire. You don't want to extend your Regional starting pitchers, but you need to compete to win within reason.
  3. I hope he's around at 25 for the Lakers. They need athletic wings.
  4. I've seen Swain mocked at 11, 13 and 14 now. He's definitely moving on up.
  5. Everybody can dance. Georgian can't.
  6. I don't think it's easily. Titles are five to four. I do think LeBron is the better all around player over the years.
  7. No one in their right mind thinks Duncan, Nash, Rose or Nowitzki or Iverson was ever better than Kobe.
  8. Who would you pick over Kobe, CJ?
  9. Given that Kobe is universally recognized as the best basketball player in the world every year from June 2000- June 2010, he should have won MVP 2001-2010.
  10. Kobe straight out of high school better than any player ever from the Big East, SEC, or Big 12. That leaves Kareem (PAC 8), Jordan (ACC) and Magic (Big 10).
  11. AI says Kobe at 13 is the greatest draft pick ever. Yes, Jerry West trading Vlade Divac to the Charlotte Hornets for the 13th pick to draft Kobe Bryant in 1996 is widely considered the greatest draft-day trade/pick in NBA history.
  12. Only draft classes better than this year are 1996 (Kobe, 13), 2003 (LeBron, 1) and 1984 (Jordan,, 3). The fact that Kobe and Jordan didn't go 1 tells you how stupid NBA execs are.
  13. Swain gonna be drafted around 13 overall because he's a badass.
  14. James Worthy is the only player who played against Larry Bird and was more efficient. That was the 1985 and 1987 NBA Finals. That's why he's known as "Big Game" James.
  15. That's why Kareem is the greatest basketball ever.
  16. Pat Riley called out Kareem in front on the team before game two of the 1985 NBA Finals after the Lakers lost to the Celtics 148-114 in game one. The Lakers went on to win the series 4-2. Kareem was the oldest Finals MVP at 38.
  17. Kobe Bryant holds the record for the most combined All-NBA First Team and All-Defensive First Team selections in NBA history with 20.
  18. You got a bunch of goobers from 19-23 who won't work out against real competition today. Damn pansies.
  19. The consensus best NBA draft workout ever is Kobe Bryant’s 1996 workout with the Los Angeles Lakers. As a 17-year-old, Bryant dominated veteran defender Michael Cooper in a 45-minute session, forcing GM Jerry West to immediately engineer a trade to acquire him. Pansies won't work out today.
  20. Kobe was the best pick of the 1996 draft. He was drafted 13th in the best NBA draft ever.
  21. Astros are the worst cheating team of all time and the Mavs are the biggest a-hole team of all time.
  22. KD ain't Kobe. He's great, but he isn't the greatest of decade like Kobe. 1970s: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Milwaukee Bucks/LA Lakers) Unquestioned best player of the decade, winning 6 MVPs between 1971 and 1980. Runner-up: Julius Erving (dominant ABA/NBA presence). 1980s: Magic Johnson (LA Lakers) & Larry Bird (Boston Celtics) These two revived the NBA, splitting the decade's MVP and championship successes. Key Contender: Moses Malone. 1990s: Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls) Dominated with 6 NBA championships and 6 Finals MVPs during the decade, achieving two "three-peats". Runners-up: Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson. 2000s: Kobe Bryant (LA Lakers) Defined the era with multiple titles and consistent top-tier performance. Key Contender: Shaquille O'Neal. 2010s: LeBron James (Miami Heat/Cleveland Cavaliers/LA Lakers) Reached 8 straight Finals, won 3 titles, and dominated in MVP voting for most of the decade.
  23. It takes some nuts to tell the greatest free agent ever that he just drafted a 17 year old that would be better than him but he needed to come on over to win multiple titles.
  24. Jerry West's 1996 trade for Kobe Bryant is widely considered the greatest trade in NBA history because it transformed a franchise. By trading Vlade Divac to the Hornets for the 13th pick to draft a 17-year-old Bryant, West secured a 20-year superstar,5 championships, and cleared cap space for Shaquille O'Neal. Kobe Bryant’s 1996 pre-draft workout with the Los Angeles Lakers is widely considered the greatest in NBA history. At just 17 years old, Bryant dominated experienced defenders like Michael Cooper in a private session, prompting GM Jerry West to immediately know he was a future superstar.
