I feel bad for you guys. The Wizards looked pretty promising earlier in the season. That dam injury bug will get you ever time.
As a Lakers fan,lately I know what watching crappie B-Ball is like. Besides Kobe we are pathetic. And the sad thing is I don’t see any easy fixes for our team. We just need more talent period. Kobe is by far the best player in the league. But he can’t do it all himself.
Though I must say I am still really glad we kept Kobe over the Shaq.
I know most of you blame Kobe for Shaq leaving. But that really isn’t the case. Shaq became old and injury prone. He didn’t want to stay in shape and refused to have surgery in the off-season because he "didn't want to ruin his summer". He clamed he "got hurt on company time. So he should be able to heal on company time". I don’t know but if you’re making over a 100 million dollars to play B-Ball the whole year should be company time. At the end he still had two year left on his contract but wanted Jerry Buss to give him a two year extension worth nothing less then the max allowed. And this is after years of being the highest paid player in the NBA. He claimed that the Lakers weren’t loyal. But if you ask me it was Shaq that became unloyal and brought the whole thing down.
The NBA season is almost over for me.(Thank god) I can't wait for Sep 9th!!! Hail
