He was referring to Kobe taking the torch & becoming the franchise player. Things like, Kobe's work ethic (which he tried to help Shaq with) & the undeniable fact that Kobe had developed into a franchise player while playing with Shaq.

Shaq wanted to be paid, demanded it actually during a game, and ASKED to be traded when he didn't get what he wanted. Dr. Buss bet on the younger, more dedicated to his craft player, which was Kobe. Please get your facts together when posting on a sports forum...more specifically a basketball forum. SMH

He's wrong often....

Thing is, they aren't alike at all on the offensive end. It is a bad comparison. It is the type of comparison somebody makes who hasn't seen Bam play and is guessing by looking at the stat sheet.

Is Bam better today?

No. TT is an established vet with a ring and 4 Finals trips.

But to say Bam is a poor man's TT is way underselling Bam's potential.

And if you take the Cleveland side of things in every debate regarding Cleveland, you are a homer.

Yeah, Bam's upside is way beyond TT......TT's offensive game is very limited. I get the rebounding and defense are similar but Bam could end up being a good offensive player, something TT is not.

You could end up rich betting on sports, but you could also end up poor...BAM!

LOL at somebody saying they'd take TT over James.




Hilarious.

Kevin Love is to Love Connection is to Chuck Woolery. I'm rolling with Chuck Person whose nickname was Rifleman which is a TV Western. Clint Eastwood was in a movie in Detroit. Eminem

Kevin Love was in an episode of Entourage with Eminem. Found you a much easier path.

You mean the brillliant fast talking attorney with little common sense?
let me repeat:

he isnt nearly as good as TT.

isnt it funny that what i said would happen with the Heat is EXACTLY what happened?

an expensive mediocre team fighting for one of the last couple playoff spots that will undoubtedly get slaughtered in the first round- being in NBA purgatory- not good enough to be a serious threat- not bad enough to get a game changing talent in the lotto?

you can without a doubt call me a "Heat hater" - just dont call me wrong.

upside

in this context- nothing but another word for "hasnt done dick yet" and has pretty much underwhelmed
