i had faith in steve nash....i also underestimated the spurs like i do every year. but yea, dwight showed his true colors in that series. i guess i did overestimate his ability.. there was no goin back from the bitchassness displayed by dwight in that final outing.

i dont think any real self respecting lakers fan wanted him to stay because we wanted him the player to stay after he refused to run the pick and roll and emphasized that he was the 2nd coming of hakeem. especially with how he played during the season (not playing D when they dont give him the ball etc etc)
the only reason why we wanted him to stay is because if he played correctly and knew his role, it would be a lot easier to 1. go to the finals and 2. acquire talent for cheap. after that fiasco last season, how would any fan literally want him on his team because of they liked dwight. the only hope us laker fans had was that he realized his role and be a rodman/mutumbo type of player.
one things forsure, come playoffs, dwight isnt going to be the dude to go to when the game slows down to the half court. it just baffles me, it truly is watered down, if dwight is in such high praises with his lack of fundamentals and talent.
i never liked dwight since he got drafted (always thought he was very handicapped in terms of taking over a game and creating for himself, which is a prerequisite for anyone thats considered the "best") and didnt like him after. i mean who likes a boring bigman that seemingly has extraordinary athleticism but no basketball IQ or talent (no, although u cant teach height, height isnt talent, hell if dwight was 6'6 let alone 6'1 he wouldnt even be in the league, and this dude had dreams of playing PG, what a joke)
NIK was never high on dwight, nor was I, its out of the norm for the lakers to acquire a bigman thats all market and no real basketball skills.
your talking about Mikan, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq. hell all of them can score 30-40 easy in their prime. dwight, lol yeah right, and these bigmen didnt take many baby assists either.
dude has no ground to bitch at anyone with offensive mistakes. defensive, thats another story, but when he was with us he wasnt giving us his all.
and this dude has the be the first guy to take a pay cut to go out of LA. is pretty certain he couldnt handle the pressure and expectations (championship contention) that came with LA, especially without (ironic that it is) having a kobe type of player locked down for the future.
the fact that all the play makers, kobe, nash, blake, had to all go out their way to baby feed dwight explains a lot.

All those centers played in a different game.
Different game, different time.

I love how Laker fans are in denial that it's so obvious Kobe is the reason he left. Not only did he straight up say he left because of him, but the most dominate center of all-time left because of him lol.
Kobe so desperately wants to equal, eclipse or come close to MJ, he won't share the spotlight with someone else. Dwight wasn't allowed to go there and be the superstar he was when he was in Orlando.
Laker fans will cop out, like always, even in response to me right now with "Dwight couldn't handle being a champion or how Kobe was trying to push him towards that" but the reality is Kobe wouldn't Dwight be considered any more than a "soldier of Kobe's to help Kobe win Kobe's sixth ring".
If he was so "scared" of success he wouldn't of gone to a team considered more of a contender than LA, with a much brighter future. And please don't respond to "brighter future" with "Welllll ifffff Kobe comes back 100% annnnnnd iffffff we get a top 3 pick in the draft annnnnnd iffffff Kevin Love comes to LA annnnnnd ifffffff Phil Jackson comes back, we'll be in better shape than Houston" lol.

thats why dwight will never win a ring....he doesn't have the heart of a champion and couldn't respect a GOAT in the game like kobe. he doesn't understand the concept of working together while still respecting your elders and givin' them seniority. i can't imagine what it woulda been like if dwight and mj were on the same team..dwight tryna make jokes about mj behind his back etc like he was doin wit kobe, u think mj woulda had that? same goes for bird, magic, dr. j, wilt etc....all the all-time greats woulda been forced to put dwight in check wit the way he behaves like an insecure clown. that fake shaq shit dont fly when ur not a franchise level talent. but the main reason he left was management. he made it clear that he wanted phil jackson, and they still went ahead and hired d'antoni, who dwight didn't get along with, nor did he fit the offense. if phil was hired, best believe dwight would still be here. and yea, management favoring kobe definitely put a dent in dwight's ego, who was eager to be the franchise player from day 1. but he's not a franchise caliber talent, so thats okay..he's still playin second fiddle to harden, and they have a nice thing goin there, but theyll pretty much be the new denver nuggets. a good team who will typically get bounced early in the playoffs. if they ever win it all, let alone make the finals, i'll be surprised as fuck mayn
