Mismo my punto sir. Sabi ko nga, bago natin husgahan si Kobe e let's wait for his career to end. Malay mo, baka magbago naman yun mama. Tulad ni MJ, he might temper his attitude. Who knows he might also evolve into a more team first style as he has proven in his last few games, Tumi triple double na nga yun lolo nyo di ba? Napilay lang nga

I tend to agree with you guys but there were also reports that MJ wasn't necessarily the model teammate. Had to look for this article that came out in 2010, as usual in bleacherreport ( although i'd say half of the articles there are "chismis" )MJ WAS (NOT) A GREAT TEAMMATECommon perception is that Michael Jordan was the model teammate. It will tell you that he excelled at building his teammates up and bringing out the best in those around him. Nothing could be further from the truth. One incident has Michael Jordan riding Bill Cartwright on a particularly bad night for Cartwright. In the locker room Michael Jordan resorted to trying to embarrass Cartwright in front of the team. He was offensive to the point that afterward, Cartwright pulled him to the side and said"Look, if you ever do anything like that again, you will never play basketball again because I will break both of your legs."You probably never heard about that though, because MJ can do no wrong.Another incident includes an actual physical confrontation with a teammate. The Bulls were in practice when Will Perdue laid a hard screen on Jordan. Imagine someone playing hard in practice! This did not sit well with His Airness. He was infuriated to the point where he felt it necessary to punch Purdue in the face. Yes, you read right. To PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE. Imagine if you will, an article comes out tomorrow that features a story about Kobe Bryant punching Pau Gasol in the face because he set too hard of a screen at practice. Imagine LeBron James punching one of his nice guy teammates in the face like say, Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Imagine what the initial reaction and backlash would be if this happened once...now multiply itNot only did Jordan get physical with Will Perdue, he also felt the need to punch Steve Kerr in the face! Jordan and Kerr were known to have two different opinions on the Collective Bargaining Agreement that was being voted on. Kerr was a Players Union leader while Michael wanted to dissolve the Union. They had many heated discussions about the subject. One day during a practice, Steve Kerr was guarding Jordan. Kerr was reportedly playing tough defense on Jordan- too tough for Jordan's liking. So much so, that he felt the irresistible urge to punch Steve in the face. And he followed through with it. A Model citizen indeed. Not once, but twice did he feel that it was excusable to physically attack his TEAMMATES. You can imagine the reaction to anyone that was considered the face of the league today (Kobe, LeBron, Durant) attacking their teammates. Everyone would have a field day crucifying them. But not so for His Airness... his reputation gets a pass.[/i]But yeah, I looked up to MJ as the perfect leader during his time. As for Kobe, who knows, di pa naman tapos ang career. Baka this injury did him more good than harm. Baka maisip nya in the silence of his boredom, "hey I gotta go out with the class of a legend".. Baka naman magbago at maging ultimate leader na din si Kobe in his last run for that elusive 6th ring
Miami just need one good BIG man to accomplish a rare 3peat.I think they should keep its core like Battier, Allen, Miller Cole, Chalmers, Haslem, Anderson.Let go Lewis and trade him for a veteran center.
.hinde naman dahil sa LBJ hater but you have to wonder why PJ passed up on the chance to coach Lebron way back nun sa Cleveland, remember Lebron was campaigning hard for PJ to come to the Cavs, the roster was decent enough and I'm very sure he could have molded the final roster to his liking, but he passed and went back for a second tour of duty with the Lakers
Lewis has zero trade value. Ok maybe you can trade him for a bag of chips, a soda and maybe even some change
I just learned that Kerr fracas when I read the article again. Never heard of that. So mabuti na lang si Jordan ang gumawa nun. As I said, we are kind to Jordan. We will always justify that he is right.Isipin mo kung ngayon nangyari yan halimbawa kay Kobe, and the news will be "Kobe gut punched Jodie Meeks" or kay Lebron = "Lebron punched Chalmers", with all the social media available, yari na naman sa media at sa haters yan dalawang kumag na yan
Trade gasol for rondo...
di bagay ang magaling na PG sa Lakers, mababawasan ang ball possession ni kobe nyan :-D
Babatukan ni mwp yan si rondo pag nagloko loko..
dapat kasi hindi na nila kinuha si Howard, mas ok pa yata si Bynum e. Nash-Kobe-MWP-Pau-Bynum na lang sana. problema lang dala ni Howard sa Lakers.
Bad combination nga yan Rondo-Kobe. Both need the ball to be effective. Rondo is most effective when he holds on to the ball and just passes the ball when the other player is about to shoot it. Si Kobe prefers isolation plays. Eh si Rondo unlike Nash doesn't have a jumper. So forget about those Kerr/Paxson roles. Eh si Rondo is one assist hungry player. Hindi rin naman papayag si Rondo na ibibigay lang yun bola to Kobe for ISOs or in the post. Walang assist sa ganun.
