He can't play without Shaq...he can't play without Kidd...he can't do commercials without Chris Rock...how sad, the guy can't even play with himself.

Hate to say it, but it wasnt a Crystal ball Steady, it was the predictable perpetual 'Mike Alike' routine of Kobe's that was so so predictable...."ohhhhhhh, my arm, look at all the bandages from the many many multiple needles which hurt my woodle arm.....how'd I make that shot?....oh look how woozy I am, how on earth did I post up like that"?!! News flash: This just in -- Kobe will never be Michael!!!! Never! By the way, If Shaq were a Bull with Jordan, they'd have won 11 titles. Im right. You know it. Still luv ya though! ...and YES Dan did have a point about Hardaway, not that he's looking at stats, but Hardaway was much sweeter-much sooner than Kobe....going by years in the league.

(Or at least how many "Cocktails" you've had!) I'm BETTER looking than Tom Cruise. Well, taller anyway. Y'know, Kobe didn't look like he had food poisoning. Probably just too much White Castle. On the other hand, he can't hold Mike's brother's shadow's dirty jockstrap. Jordan would have been SO dominant in that fourth quarter. When the Kings went into that offensive slump, he would have gone for the jugular. Kobe must have thought that Phil Jackson said, "Go for the JUGGLER," because aside from that one trey, the Kobester was like the invisible man in Q4. You guys have been sniffing that LA exhaust too long. Can't wait to see Jason bitch slap Lil' Penny, er, um, I mean Lil' Kobe (if Lil' Kobe can survive the whoopin' that the Kings are gonna give him this weekend). The Black Knight always triumphs!

Magpel Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hmmm, Mr. Steady, I'd be more impressed if the "MJ Himself" were a link to your source on that rather than just your own emboldened emphasis. I could see Micahel admitting that the 24 yr. Bryant can do more than the 38 year old Jordan. I mean, he's a meglomaniac but he's not stupid.

Phil's trying to pump up his protegé and he asked Mike to go along with the ruse to try to convince KB that it was really true. - Gosh, Coach, Mike really said THAT? - Phil has gotten used to the LA lifestyle and doesn't want to finish his career working winters in places like Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, or Minnesota.

Kobe really needs his ego pumped. On second thought, maybe he does. Look at the Laker's winning percentage without Shaq. The numbers are a downer for Kobe. Robert This post edited for speling.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I just want to know what steadyb said before the edit! Okay, now...let's be clear: the trash talking is not intended to be mean or spiteful. It's a natural part of being a fan of a team. No, not everyone in Sacto is an ugly hick. No, not everyone in L.A. is a superficial prick. No, not everyone in Jersey is as evil as Dan South (see, that was a joke...I love Dan). Having lived in L.A. nearly my entire life (and having been an L.A. Lakers and Kings fan since 1975 or so), I can tell you that the caliber of the Los Angeles fan has gotten better -- remarkably better -- over the past five years. It wasn't uncommon at the Forum to see people milling in toward the end of the first quarter and leaving before the end of the fourth, even in good games. Those are not fans...they are people who just want to see-and-be-seen at the game. Back to today: I love the fact that we now have rabid Lakers and Kings fans who want to defend their beloved teams to the haters of the world. This is good, and puts us in line with most of the rest of the country. That having been said...it'll be fun to see the Lakers/Celtic finals. I think the Boston fans will exhibit more class than the NoSac fans, but we'll see...it's a different world than the era of "showtime". - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpel Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Jeff, I appreciate the good fans of LA. I know of a few: Jeff, Steve, Byron. Fans worthy of Cleveland. When I cried Stereotype, I was just being as a maliciously playful as everyone else. Going for the most offensive or dismissive thing I could think of simly because *it's allowed.* Elvis Costello got into trouble that way.

So sorry, by the way, about the Nets devastating loss to Beantown. Geez, even with Kidd's triple-double. Must be heartbreaking.

steadyb Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 It usually takes the unthinkable to wake up the Lakers (like actually losing a playoff game to the kings), and now that that has happened, it's really "lights out" for the kings...sorry Dan.

This banter is all in fun. It's just a way to pump up the adrenaline and enjoy the thrill of the competition from our (not exactly courtside) perspective.
