why would kobe be effected by that at all, hes been awesome this year. he cant help injuries and the garbage that he is currently surrounded by.


Garbage? Were you saying that before the season started? And do you know how hard it is to miss the postseason in the NBA? If he misses the postseason with that type of cast, it will be a big black mark in his career, period.

Simple Volume scoring doesn't make you awesome..
If Kobe can't take a team with Howard, Nash, Gasol to the playoffs, then it definitely tarnishes his legacy, no matter what the excuses.

yes the team the lakers are currently putting out is absolute garbage. their entire front court is injured.

and no it wont, becuase again, kobe has no control over injuries or the fact that the lakers cant even put out nba quality players currently.

He's talking about the team now without Dwight Pau and Hill is basically Nash and Kobe plus a bunch of D-leaguers

Lol no it won't he's been great this year, there is nothing that could happen that would tarnish his legacy.


Again.. Great is not simple volume scoring.. He was shooting at a great clip but now he's coming back down to earth.

looking at the box score the lakers did rather well but let delfino play like a hall of famer. you can live with harden and lin getting theirs but delfino won them the game.

True, I don't think either Nash or Kobe deserve this, they've played as well as you could expect.

Poor coaching, poor supporting cast, Gasol disappearing (this ties into the poor coaching a little bit as well), and Howard not being 100% are the main reasons why you guys have been losing games, imo.
