fisher looks bad in all environments apparently

Chris Paul's handles are no joke

They're both kind of leaning so it's hard to tell for sure, but the fact that Durant and McGee are basically at eye level is pretty funny.

Was just watching the second quarter highlights and that Phillipino point guard was just lighting Fisher up :lol:

Just read a story that MVP's main target wasn't actually Kobe. Guess who it was?

It was LeBron. His camp's asking price was way too much though so MVP said never mind. LeBron reportedly asked for $600,000, while Kobe, Durant, Rose all only $400,000.

I think they're working on having another weekend like this again before the year ends. Would definitely watch closely so I can get one of the expensive seats.

NBA Players all got starstruck by Manny Pacquiao. Even Kobe. All of them asked for his autograph.

Wish I picked this game instead of yesterday. I even heard the NBA players gave away their jerseys and shoes. Smh.

Kobe and Manny are friends. Manny trains in L.A., and comes to Laker games occasionally. I've seen him jog by my business a couple times. He's a tiny fella.

ugh, Derrick Rose is just awful in these exhibition games. First game he got 9 points, second game he got 6 points. REALLY?

Come on Derrick, they're chanting your name and want to see you showcase your skills, quit being timid for a few hours. Everybody chucks in these games, start chucking! Jesus.

I assume his mind state is that he's a point guard and doesn't want to force the scoring issue due to playing with so much talent. But here's the catch .. his game is so one dimensional and based solely on scoring, that if he doesn't try to score, he just fades into oblivion. If he's not going to score, you'd think he would run P&R and throw a few lobs but he just doesn't have a natural feel for the position.

but he was also playing out of position, didn't they stick him at the SF spot or something? CP3 was the PG

I agree that he's intimidated by playing with legends like Kobe though, he doesn't look like he feels comfortable out there. He's got to get over it though, he'll be in a lot more exhibition games and a lot more all star games. He needs to start showboating a little bit more.

Rose even gets hated on during exhibition games, lol...the hate continues to flow.

...I'm a Bulls fan. I think I'm allowed to criticize him.

Just because an observation isn't praise doesn't mean it's hate.

I bet you think you have a lot of haters in real life too, don't ya?

I think they gave the ball to CP3 rather than Rose because CP3 is better at getting everyone involved. Rose is awesome with the ball in his hands but it probably would have been a lot of Rose highlight plays and not enough of everyone else. Unfortunately that meant that Rose kind of got left out

For those that watched the second game or its highlights, did Derrick Williams do anything cool? I know he had a lot of highlights in the first game. I would really appreciate it if someone that watched could tell me if Williams had some noteworthy highlights, that's the only player I'm very interested in.

aaa, D.Will threw down a windmill to end the game

Dunks, dunks and dunks.

He tried to show his jumper but it didn't look good from what I remember.

This. He had some nice dunks but the J still needs work.

In the pre-game shootaround, I think he only made like 4 or 5 out of 10 around the FT line.
