WILL THE LAKERS WIN 3 IN A ROW?

[Don Jacob]

when jordan came back from retirement the first time who's team beat the bulls in the second round....that's right Shaq's team


i'm sorry Jordan is the greatest but he's making a mistake by coming back he's almost 40 and will not be the best....jordan is already suffering from broken ribs and BAD knees and isn't going to be able to keep up with the younger more aggressive cats out there today....when he came back the first time he came back well conditioned from base ball and still in his athletic prime....but he's not as young or as healthy as he use to be, plus jordan doesn't have the supporting cast he had in chicago, it's going to be impossible (even for the old jordan) to take the worst team in the NBA to the top in a matter of one season, maybe if they signed chris webber , but that's a big MAYBE, jordan is THE BEST player ever no doubt but he couldn't of done it without phill jackson, and i'm sorry as good as phill collins is...he's not going to be able to make a champion ship team, jordan also had scottie...the closest thing he'll have in washington is Richard Hamilton...who is a good player but is NO pippen...jordan also had good perimeter players on his team like steve kurr tony kukoc, and john paxson , and good role players like horace grant, bj armstrong, ron harper, denis rodman and brian williams (now known as bison dele). that's not to discredit jordan AT ALL, shaq couldn't of won the championship 2 times these past 2 years without his supporting cast , but my point is jordan doesn't have the supporting cast to deal with the top teams in the east, and even if they were able to make it to the finals against the lakers and god forbid if it was Pheonix sacramento San Antonio portland , the wizards wouldn't be able to deal with Stephon marbury and penny hardaway from pheonix (penny hardaway is VERY good at defending jordan) and stephon marbury would embarass richard hamilton, if they played sacramento...they'd be out powered by chris webber and obliviated from the perimeter by Peja Stroyokavic mike bibby , outpowered by san antonio, and fuck portland   they wouldn't make it to the finals

now if they faced the lakers theres no question in my mind Kobe would make Jordan want to re-re-retire in this point of both of their careers seeing as kobe isn't even at his pinacle and is already playing hall of fame ball and seeing as Jordan wouldn't be as quick as he use to be ....as good as jordan is he wouldn't be able to deal with kobe with jordans 40 year old legs compared to kobe's 24 year old ones. now this is the clincher....SHAQ, hasn't been stopped since he was 5, and probably never will be stopped, it would take a clone of shaq deisle just to match him but it would seriously take 500 pound grizzly bear to stop the daddy, if you watched the portland series shaq had 5 people guarding him fisher would throw the ball into shaq and arvidus, rasheed, damon, steve, and aron mckey would all cave in on him but shaq would take all five of them up to and above the rim....i'm sorry wilt and bill russle but as good as you 2 were at the center possision (and with no disrespect) you are only second rate compared to shaq

anyways seriously without any bias here i don't think the lakers can be stopped next year...miami i though would give them a hard time in the finals with alonzo, eddie jones, brian grant, anthony mason and tim hardaway (that's impressive!  ) but they got swept in the first round by charlott, orlando seems to be a threat in the east  BUT patrick ewing is playing horrible...half of the team is unexpeirienced and grant hill is going to have major rust for missing all of last year...tracy mcgrady will have to lead that team , which i don't think will go off to well with grant hill patrick ewing or horace grant  

and as we all know the sixers sure arn't the team to stop the lakers, not to discredit the sixers cuz they did make us work hard, but they couldn't stop the lake show

as far as the western confrence goes....the only compition there is Pheonix with stephon marbury and the return of Penny Hardaway...penny will have Rust but y'all have forgotten how good Penny is ...Penny's the only Guard in the leage besides eddie jones, that can really deal with kobe efficiently , stephon marbury is  pound for pound the best point guard in the league (that's right better than iverson too) but even with those 2 obsticles we still have the lethal injection of Shaq Kobe Fisher Richmond Horry  Fox wich is unfuckwitable

just call me the mellowman of basketball

[Hittman]

you know alot...for fuck sake.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

maybe if they signed chris webber

Chris Webber already anounced that he was staying in "Sacramento"...

[ImmortalOne]

Uhh...MJ is like what 40? LOL he's gunan get schooled by Kobe, and all the new young talent...

Um, no. MJ is gonna school Kobe, and thats why he's coming back, to lay the smackdown on him.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

hahhahahhahahahhahahah....I dont even think MJ can walk anymore...He's an old man for god sake...

[Top-Dogg2001]

I heard that if jordan comes back he will play small forward so he won't be exploited by the allen iverson, kobe bryant, vince carter, etc.

[DOGGHOUSE]

1st of all kobe is my favorite player but if MJ comes back,kobes gonna get schooled like d-bomb in a rap contest.

[Don Jacob]

i doubt anyone can school Kobe right now except allen iverson or unless they got a time machine and brought back the old pete marivich, michael jordan of at the top of his game, the magic johnson of the 80's, or the jerry west of the 60's and even if jordan came back and schooled kobe ...who's gonna stop shaq...answer: NOBODY


jordan playing at small foroward might work but he's gonna have to build hella lot more muscles

[DreSnoop00]

i kno...
if jordan comes back.... damn i wish him tha best of luck... tight ass player. gettin old though.....
i've been hearing that isiah thomas has beenm training with him and he says that MJ is ready and as good as when he was lst playing
which is tight.....
so we'll just have to see
as for lakers winning anotha...proably.. their roster is top notch

[truemaster]

Why would anyone think just cuzz an Old Ass MJ comes back that he's gonna make any impact on how the Wizards do next year. They'll be lucky if that sorry ass team fineshes at .500, and that's pushing it. Oh well guess some yall have to learn the hard way and see when the league starts, they won't even make the playoffs.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

The Lakers of 2000-2001 are better than the Bulls of 96-97...

[RivieraIII]

U never know if the Lakers will win coz u never know about injuries but they have a great chance with Kobe and shaq. Now if JORDAN comes back, y'all better get ready coz believe it or not he ain't very far from the Michael Jordan we all knew, which is still much better than... EVERYBODY. Y'all be careful...

[Don Jacob]

yeah, but even if jordan plays his top notch best he doesn't have the team mates around him to make it all the way to the finals and win it all, you'd have to be Jesus Christ himself to make a team go from the worst in the NBA to the champions in 1 season

[truemaster]

That's right, you'd need  a one two punch of Jordan and Jesus Christ to get the Wizards into the playoffs. The Wizards team is SO WACK, they have no one to help Jordan, no role players what so ever.
