Both of u make excellent points

Rad shouldn't have to guard guards

Duncan has another bad game against Shaq and the Suns. This isn't a good thing. Shaq has been shutting down Duncan. I can see the Suns beating the Spurs in 5 or 6 if they played in a series.

Unfortunately, this isn't last season where the Spurs were the West power. They made a move to get by San Antonio, which was a knee jerk reaction to the team they now have to worry about, the Lakers.

For sure

Play smart...Lakers..don't look past the Lippers and get a victory

You either never hear of them because of the fact that they couldn't get into college, or they end up going to some college no one has ever heard of in one of the lesser divisions, and not getting drafted.

There's also the possibility of them going to Arena Football for the CFL, and if they perform well enough there, they could still be signed by the NFL. The only requirement to be in the NFL is to be 3 years out of high school.

I think if the player is good enough to get into the NFL, or highly talented. He's getting into college one way or the other. If gets on small divisional team, and showcases his ability, he will do find and will get into the NFL.

For example, if Reggie Bush doesnt play with USC because he couldnt get into college and gets into some smaller school team, do you really think the NFL scouts wont check him out and realize he's good enough to play in the NFL? Or that the football factories in NCAA wont squeeze him in thier team. I highly doubt it.

If Garnett couldnt declare for the draft out of high school, I'm pretty sure he would get into college on way or the other.

All of these college guys coming out should really stay in school. None of them are ready. They won't stay in school because they see the money. For every Kobe, KG and Lebron you will have a Kwame Brown, Sam Bowie and Korleone Young.

Kobe jumps over moving vehicle

That is so REAL!

I believe it is. 😉

Good win

Play tough defense against Paul. Don't leave Peja open. Lakers be okay

Big game for the Rockets tonight against the Suns. A win keeps them tied for 2nd with the Lakers. A loss drops them to 6th. McGrady will be playing with a sore shoulder.

Huge game for the Lakers, too. They play against the Hornets. Game might decide who wins MVP of the league.

yo laker fans... thought vlade was on the court last night... but it was radmanovic with full hair. scarey!

I hope tonite's game doesn't decide the MVP. Base it on the whole year. Its a close race, but Kobe gonna win his first MVP

It very well might. There's very convincing arguments on both sides.

Even though it's clearly fake, I wouldn't be surpised if Kobe could do it. I mean, if the car is going fast enough, all you really gotta do is jump high enough for the car to ride under you. Especially with that car without the top.

I bet Joey Gathright could do it.

I liked last night's game for the Lakers vs the Clippers. It was nice to see Mbenga, Newble, and Mihm get some minutes. DJ looked really good.

Pray's the Lakers win tonight.

DJ man, that dudes has got some serious game. He's been working with Kareem just like Bynum, you can tell. He's so damn strong, if he did some air alert and increased his vertical by at least 5 inches, he could be an all star with the skill set he currently possess. He shows great effort on the defensive end, his timing is good on blocks, but problem is, he's 7 feet and can't jump that high or else he would be blocking everything. Until that happens, the Vince Carters and Shaq's of this world will keep posterizing him. But he has a very nice offensive game though. I hope he gets some more playing time, because the dude is way better tham Kwame. He can catch, he has touch on his shots(whereas Kwame would just throw the ball at the basket) and he has a nice hook shot.

Watch this video of him

Yeah, the jumping is the easy part. Timing it correctly is the dangerous part. I'm sure they just filmed the car driving by and Kobe jumping separately, then just overlapped the videos with the proper timing.

Aldridge on the foul Odom committed on Roy.

"I was ready to take him on"

Does this guy even realize that it wasn't even a flagrant? Like I said before, I've always like him, but I REALLY don't like that comment. I pity the fool. I could see real time that it wasn't a flagrant. Roy just fell hard. And these idiots get up in his face like he threw him to the ground.

I agree it shouldn't have been called a flagrant, but it couldn't have helped the situation that Odom's only response to Aldridge was "f*ck off". I know when I'm mad, that doesn't help the situation if somebody says that to me.
