Lakers don't have fans. Where was Laker fan in 95? I would call Laker fan scum, but I don't want to offend scum.

Kobe said that he would not smile until the playoffs were over! Game face

Bling? You talking about money? Because he would have made more money with some other team

The heat getting to the finals is not a given. They may look good on paper, but there are 3 big ego's on this team and only one ball on the court. The success of the heat is going to be determined by if these three guys can play well together.

Heat arent getting past Orlando with just these 3 guys. As each year passes, Boston gets older and Orlando gets much needed experience / maturity. Mike Miller means jack to me. They are a top 5 team now but that really doesnt mean much when arguably 4 of the 5 teams are in the east.

As a Magic fan, I HATE the Heat. James isn't a leader and he did the right thing by accepting it. Don't be fooled, this is Wade's team. James is going to be in the same role as Bosh.

Witness him become the #2 player. If hes lucky, he can become Pippen.

Kobes finger was destroyed and he gave everything he had in the Finals series. It will be poetic justice IF the Heat reach the Finals to watch the greatest player of this generation Kobe bean Bryant, put the final stamp on his greatness and end the Lebron is better than kobe bs..

this person is like 5 years old.

i heard fisher might end up on the heats, so i wonder how you feel now?

After watching this "King without a ring" last night, I am now a fan of who ever plays against his team.

I was a huge John Elway fan in the 80s and 90s, Honestly I can not imangine if Elway were to go play for another team, so Ohio, I get you.
BTW, Im sure there are not too many Elway fans in OHIO (irony).
the only place where kobe will beat lebron wade and bosh on a team is wonderland.

kobe worst nightmare was 2 all stars as great as himself on the same team going against him.
