Karl Malone expected to return to the Lakers/Kobe's criticism...
Now_Im_Not_Banned:
Laker owner Jerry Buss said Sunday he was confident Malone would return to the Lakers regardless of other proposals. Malone, 41, had microfracture surgery on his right knee in June and is expected to decide in about a month whether he will play. "I think every team in the league could use him and would want him...He's getting offers, probably 2 or 3 a day," Buss said. "I'm confident that if he plays, he'll be a Laker. He has said that publicly in the papers and he has told me that personally as well." San Antonio and Minnesota gained interest in Malone when his agent said Malone would prefer to stay in the West. But no team has as good a chance as the Lakers...
Be it from Phil Jackson, Shaquille O'Neal, or Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant has been criticized in recent months for various reasons, none of which Buss said he understood. "It's hard for me to read everybody's portrayal of Kobe," Buss said. "He's just a different person than everybody seems to think. I admire him enormously for the fact that he's just been quiet. Everybody else keeps talking, but he's been terrific. He just sat back and said, "OK, I'll let my play indicate what kind of person I am."

so Lakers decided to add a wheel-chair for Malone next to their bench or what's up with that?

Well, idiot, if the way Malone played last season is any indication of how he will play this season, he will be more than fine... :D

Man he just survived a terrible trial where he was risking a lifetime sentence. Seriously, i think he doesnt give a flying fuck about Ray Allen, Phil and them all. He's just playing basketball. That's the Kobe i like. Props.
