What a train wreck. So many great athletes just don't know when to hang it up, actually sad to see the shadow of Kobe on the court (just his shadow). At least MJ adjusted his game to his reduced skill level when he played for the Wiz. Can't help but think that the Kobe-centric adulation has to be a distraction for all the players they need to be developing.
Bye Kobe! Lakers vs Jazz -- Mar. 28th at 7pm MDT
- Thread starter Gameface
- Start date
It also set the worst loss in Kobe Bryant's history and tied the Jazz margin of win record.

I'll be stunned if he is a Jazzman next year.
Can you name a single 7' who actually jumps (higher than a few sheets of paper) on their midrange jump shots?

Porz? (I honestly don't know, he just seems like he would for some reason)
Yeah Kobe so dumb for playing the final year of his 25 million dollar contract.

They said Alec warmed up, but not in uniform. The radio people didn't know why Dante was in uniform.
Do we want both of them to come back right before the playoffs? At this point I'd almost just say roll with the team that got us there. But I wouldn't actually say that, just almost. Exum can provide defense and Alec can get to the hoop. I'd limit their minutes but I'd use them for sure.

I agree with all of this.
Imo Burks should be playing right now. That would mean no more cj.
I would also worry about screwing with what is currently working though.... I wouldn't worry about it to the point that I wouldn't play him though.
Maybe keep his minutes super low. Like cj's minutes only.
Continue to use ingles as the third wing and bring Burks along slowly as the 4th wing.
nice non sequitur to Kobe's IQ.
I assume you are aware that many athletes who could continue to make millions choose to retire.

Few turn down THAT much. Plus the opportunity to get farewell gifts from every team in the league and adulation from fans in every arena.
Besides, the Lakers need to have one of the top-3 picks or the lose it in trade. So perfect scenario for them to encourage Kobe to play. They're worse with him on the court.
Karma is going to show up and Lakers fall to 4th.

So the Lakers are ignoring D'Angelo Russell. Talk about things being ****ty in LA.

Lakers are the worst team in the league when all is said and done. I love it. **** that franchise and **** Kobe Bryant. It still confuses me anytime I hear a Kobe is best player of his generation comment. He's barely 3rd. Overrated sack of ****.
Thank you Jazz for giving this cuck a final **** you before he rides off into the sunset with his pathetic "Retirement parade" LOL.
