KOBE WAS THE KINDA GUY WHO DID GOOD THINGS OUT OF GENUINE LOVE
NOT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR IT.. NOT FOR THE CAMERAS.. DIDNT DO THINGS JUST TO PROPEL HIS IMAGE.. HIS AUTHENTICITY IS UNPARALLELED
Instead have to look at what Kuz is up too

Been saying "I told you so" for two straight years now...if only y'all had done it when you had the chance...
It's still wild to me that Ingram became an all-star so quickly after leaving. Watching his career, it shows you got to be patient with some of these young guys. He came in looking suspect. His skills and body werent up to par, but you could see the potential. I give some credit to luke for empowering him to think as a scorer, playing PG, etc. He took gradual steps every year and now he here.
I cant say that we would be better off with them at this point though because a bron, ingram, zo trio just doesnt mesh well imo. Where we fukked up were the earlier trades of D'Lo, Zubac, etc. I'd have no issue paying D'Lo to play with this roster. He's exactly what we need. But instead we flipped him for essentially kyle kuzma, whereas GS recently flipped him for a top 5 pick and wiggins. We basically sold way too fukkin low. That's one of the worst trades in franchise history as far as I'm concerned. It could be difference in winning a few or none. I guess we were banking on Kyle kuzma being that 3rd guy.![]()

Thats true, we can blame Magic but I dont think Bron comes here if Jim Buss or Rob Pelinka are in charge..He probably would have asked Rob Pelinka to be fired and hire his own guy without Magic being involved.Magic got us Bron![]()
Magic got us Bron![]()
Damn
That was a squad
Whats crazy is they would have been a tougher team in this era. Sheed/Sabonis would be taking more outside shots. Probably start Sheed and Detlef at the 5/4 for real.
I mean, it's known that Kobe was the reason Jim and Mitch got the boot then got Magic and his boy Rob inserted into the front office. He told Jeanie he knew they wanted LeBron and this is what would need to be done to accomplish that. Kobe has his fingerprints all over the franchise.Maaan, I’m starting to think that Kobe (pbuh and his lil one) got us Bron and flabgic just made sure to be outside before midnight eastern standard to do the finishing touches.
Give thanks and praises to the one shooting gawd, the most merciful and giving basketball gawd, the Pac of this basketball shyt....![]()
