Yeah the era was great to watch people would always argue about Iverson, Kobe and T-Mac being better than one another it was a great time to be a ball fan

LOL, I bet hes gonna have a career high in assists, so many 3pt shooters the in team now. I still wish we somehow got Pietrus instead though.

maybe it's just me but discussing who's better than who during that time is a lot more interesting than arguing who's better, James, Wade, Anthony. :roll:

Kobe's fro gives a dramatic Dr. J effect every time he dunks. :D

I just miss kobe with hair period... bald headed kobe is mad weird lookin lol. Look like an alien head. He's rich as hell why didn't he get some bosley or the boojy rich version right when his hair line was starting to get pushed back, now it would be too obvious.

Man only during the dog days do random topics come up :lol:

Don't know if this was ever brought up, but Kobe kept his fro to match with his former 6'7 listing. Notice how he went bald when they put him at 6'6?

Yeah I had mine too in about the same time Kobe was doing his. I kept mine until 2002. I went with the scruffy look most of the time !

Kobe Fro was cool. I liked it better when he tapered the sides of his fro. Made him look more cleaner.

But there was a time when Nick Van Exel had hair and when he went for the bald head look. I had to get it done and everybody in Junior high shaved there heads when Nick did it.

He was my favorite Laker of all time.

I just hated getting my hair cut like every other week! Arrrgh! That was rough every other Saturday morning jumpin' in the ride stopping at Mickey Dees on Brand ave, driving to North Hollywood just to make it to the spot before the crowd arrived. In the chair getting a trim by 8 Am . Good times good times. However that was over Sept 10, 2001 that was the day I decided to shave my head the barber messed it up. My regular was booked and I needed a cut. So in protest I told him to cut it all off. I was going to start over. I never did.
