This is for all the little kids who think that the Lakers are the Kobes and all the people who remember Shaq?

I'm sorry, you can be a Kobe fan if you want, but you have to be a Laker fan too. Most people who remember when Jerry West put the goddamn team together that Kobe wasn't anywhere as useful as Shaq. Now we are stuck without Shaq and a better Kobe and what happens? Little kids, in his prime Shaq was in my opinion the most unstoppable person to ever play sports. Ever. Not Rodger Federer, not Tiger Woods, Shaquille O'Neal the big fella. Sure Kobe is much more flashy but if you are a true fan you root for the Lakers, not a player. And here is another fact for you guys: Do you know that at one time the Lakers could have had Jason Kidd and Marion for Kobe? Can you even come close to imagining Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion and Shaq on the same team? The Lakers would have never lost and still would have never lost a game. That would be the team I'd like to see not the Kobe show. Instead we have Smush and Kwame, the pick and turnover.

I agree with you that Shaq was the most unstoppable player to ever play sports, but your totally wrong about the Kobe for Kidd, Marion trade. That would have been a ridiculous trade that not only would have reduced the 3 championships the Lakers won. Yes i can imagine Marion, Kidd, and Shaq, it would be horrid. You may think Marion is all that, but without Steve Nash, he's jack didilly squat. Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion cannot coexist with Shaq, i'm confident of that. This isn't fantasy basketball buddy, where all you worry about is stats. After Kidd and Marion comes in, who plays the SG spot, Derek Fisher? Rick Fox or Robert Horry automatically get replaced by Marion, and that would've been terrible. Those are two key players to the Lakers past success.



Kobe and Shaq was the most unstoppable duo ever in sports, not MJ and Pippen, not Magic and Jabbar, not Jerry Rice and whatever decent QB he's played with. The great thing about the team is you couldn't double team either of them, because they were both so great. And even if you do double up Shaq, and Kobe's still guarded by someone, Fisher, Horry, or Fox hits the open shot easy. I wouldn't like to see Kobe gone, because he is the greatest player of all time in any sport.



You need to think about your ?'s before you ask them, because this is one of the most ridiculous ?'s I've ever heard. Kobe for Marion and Kidd, HAHAHA ya right. Who would you stick in the SG spot then idiot. HAHAHAH!!

shaq left because of his contract, why would the the suns or the nets get rid of there star players at the end of the season ? What Would you rather see the lakers lose or win ? I am a laker fan and I know what kobe is doing and hes doing the right thing for his team, its just that his team isn't stepping up on defense. what part of the lakers season did you miss, them losing or the injuries ?

Why are you only saying this now when the lakers suck and not when they were winning their three titles? Maybe in 2000, it would have been a good trade, but the lakers are probably better off with kobe right now than with two aging players in shaq and kidd.

kobe isnt somewhat lady yet he's somewhat boy, thats why he has to rape sixteen 12 months previous women (and he gets away with it) refs think of he's a huge participant so as that they provide him the income of the doubt on maximum calls and enable him get away with homicide, he has elbowed a minimum of 6 adult males interior the face this 12 months and hasnt had one foul stated as, after the sport they reviewed the tapes and gave him suspensions, he wines each time he doesnt get his way, final 12 months interior the playoffs (against the suns) kobe became into throughout raja bell the comprehensive sequence and the refs didnt do something, then raja close-coated his *** (probably the funniest difficulty ever), if that they had a ref that on no account heard of kobe then kobe would purely be an trouble-free participant because of the fact he would call fouls on kobe each and every in specific situations and he couldnt get away with a million/2 the stuff he does on offense and protection
The Best There Ever Will Be !!!

Mabye they should try to pick up some key players because if they dont Kobe can opt out of his contract and go to a contender & then yall will be left with nothing but Lamar Odom.Scary thought
