Not the greatest of omens considering Dwight & Nash made the cover before that nightmare season.

Nice cover, but I'm not too happy about it to be honest. I don't want the Lakers to have any hype this season, just want the hype to be the result of their play on the court.

I'm expecting Kobe to have his typical superstar performances this season before he retires he's one of those guys you know Is gonna want to destroy the league before he calls it quits.

I wish Kobe was choking him. Would be much more fitting.

Russell is averaging 8ppg, 4apg, 3prg, .5spg, 45% from the field, and 37% from 3 in 16mpg

* take out that fifth game where he played 3mins and 30 secs before he got hurt and wasn't allowed to comeback in.

I mean damn, people, not some of you, but people are crying over a kid whose production is already good for any 15min player and who could easily hit a 12,5,5 average in 24mins a night

Good deal for the kid (and Kobe too but it probably means more to Russell than Kobe) Look forward to reading the article Jenkins is usually pretty on point

Its apparently a series of covers with the same caption. Wade/Winslow, KG/KAT. So theme is rook with mentors. So Clarkson and Randle shouldn't take it personally.

Its more funny when you realize Kobe is just about old enough to be Russell's father.
