Shannon Brown will be the next Ariza?

He had a chance to walk this summer and start for the Bulls. He said he stayed because the chance for a three-peat was "something special." I think he also knows that the Lakers want to limit Kobe's minutes for the post season if at all possible, so that means more minutes for Brown.

Amazed that Brown isn't competitive enough to want the challenge of being a starter on a potential championship team. He doesn't seem the type to take the easy route.

if my mentors are Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant, I wouldn't be leaving as well. With the way he's playing now, I think it says more than being a starter in other teams, I mean, producing this much and he's coming off the bench. I think it's more of the chance of being taught by the arguably the best player of this generation that made Brown stay (and the chance for the championship, of course).

Agree Shannon Brown is the next Shannon Brown, but do you think...

SHANNON BROWN IS THE NEXT FACE OF THE LAKERS ORGANIZATION?

it's still a long way there but he seems to be the successor to Kobe IMO. if not you can just give me a .

No.

No.

that was really subtle.

man, why did I even say that. Every time I watch the team and Kobe's beastin' I'm like: "Man, there's no stopping the Mamba... I don't see him retiring..." and my face starts to and realizing eventually it'll happen. Then Brown comes in to sub for Kobe and Kobe gives Shannon a few pointers before rushing in the court then I'll think: "That could be Kobe's guy, the one he passes the torch to..." then I'll follow that up with an image of Brown holding an MVP and a championship trophy and as I look down I see the number "24" on his chest.

I can't imagine the franchise without Kobe. sucks.

I don't see Shannon leaving. The guy was bounced around the league and D-league and finally found a home in LA where he is very well liked and has won TWO championships in his two years here.

LA fell in love with Shannon (I remember the monster block that was ruled a foul but had the whole Staples Center about to explode), and Shannon fell in love with LA. I think he's received the most love here. We even got him attention for the dunk contest.

And have you seen a Shannon Brown signing in LA? Hot chicks everywhere. I hope he doesn't leave.

Let's start a campaign.. "LetShannonShoot" for him to join the All-Star Weekend's 3-pt shooting contest. It seems that he just couldn't miss any 3-pointers these days
