I've watched 3 of the 5 games in the series so far, and I like this version of Kobe. Gerry said it earlier, but he's playing team ball right now. It's much more enjoyable to watch for me, and actually makes me want to pull for the Lakers again.

I've not been a Lakers fan since the Diesel left but now that they are looking like a team, it also makes me want to pull for them....

I became a fan in Game 6 of the 87 Finals. Had Boston won that game, I would probably be a Celtics fan. Alas, LA did and I became a Lakers fan. I was probably the only 11 year old outside of CA cheering for the Lakers against the Bulls in 91.

 

The Kobe "me first " attitude got really old. My thoughts were if Dr. Buss cared more about money than winning then I would find another team. But, Jackson is a great coach, and somehow has gotten Kobe to play team ball. Odom has really progressed as a #2 man over the last half of the season, and Luke Walton is playing great. To me, Kobe may be the best player, but if you take Walton out, then I'm not sure they are in this position. He is just a catalyst to get things stared.

The "team" concept is a sight for sore eyes for L.A.. fans.

For the person that said Kobe had no talent around him, they need to look again! This may be the best I have seen Kobe play, he is actually making passes and not worrying about scoring 40-50 a game!!! :blink:

 

That is what I have been trying to say this entire thread. If Kobe does a little less and let his teammates do more this team will have success. Phil has convinced Kobe of this and they are on their way to a playoff series victory.

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
