Series Thread: 1st round: #2 Grizz vs #7 Lakers

They live and breathe

17 Championships vs.... well, none. Seattle owns the only title.

You should be more pissed off at teams like the Clippers or Suns. They're your direct competition.

Yep, the bitter taste of jealousy...

Show us on the doll where the Lakers touched you...

These guys must really hate Lebron.

Or, maybe it’s just all about the scoring?

Because, if you don’t value the other things Lebron does on the court, you won’t value Magic either.

Who would also have to be behind Kobe…

With KAJ, Bird etc.

Is this how Lebron fans feel when I shit on him in favor of Jordan?

Jason Richardson: Kobe Bryant is second GOAT behind Michael Jordan

Former NBA star Jason Richardson thinks Kobe is the second greatest player ever, behind Michael Jordan and ahead of LeBron James.

If what J. Rich said is true, it's not, then why is LeBron only compared to the GOAT (MJ)?

Kinda says a lot about LeBron's career that the only player he's ever compared to is His Airness.

A question about the Lakers, yuck. Do you consider Kobe the greatest Laker of all time?

No, I don’t.

@trojanfan12 and I actually had a modified version of this very debate.

I think it’s KAJ or Magic, depending on your definition.

KAJ is the best.

Magic the most loved.

Competition for what?

Getting that 1st chip?

I would say, if the Suns don’t get it done this year, the Thunder will pass the Clippers, and with the correct additions, could pass the Suns……NEXT YEAR.

Of the 3, 1 has a present….Suns.

1 has a future, Thunder.

Clippers keep clipping.

Is anyone overly impressed with this Phoenix team?

I am not.

No, I don’t.

Totally agree about KAJ & Magic.

KAJ to me is the most under appreciated superstar of all time. Magic will always be one of my all time favorite players so I tend to lean towards him as greatest Laker.

If the league ever changes the logo it should be KAJ's skyhook, the most unstoppable shot. I hated that shot back in the day.

Presti spent 2 1/2 hours last week trying to temper those expectations lol. He says they still aren’t a .500 team. Will be interesting to see that change when it’s season ticket time.

I agree, and might push Magic first simply because he was my favorite player of all time (as you noted).

KAJ was never the guy that chased fame and adoration and likely lost some fans that way.

He can try to temper expectations.

But, we know what we saw, without Chet.

Adding him to what you have, plus the treasure trove of picks and cap space?

Yeah, he can try…lol

I think it’s because he was seen as kinda unlikeable.

Aloof is often used to describe him.

Standoffish as well.

Intelligence can often be intimidating and perceived as arrogance.

He quietly went about his business. And very few did it better than him.

Morning all.

Is that the lucky lady in your avatar?

He's been pure class.

Add in the UCLA titles and the only NBAer with a better resume is Russell.

Just because you CAN taste, does not mean you HAVE taste.

Neither am I.

Booker, CP3 and KD on paper is scarier than Booker, CP3 and KD on the court right now...

Note, I said right now...

They have had less time on the court together than the Lakers have had with their new additions...so I think they're still figuring stuff out.

Once they start getting things figured out...they're gonna get a lot scarier.
