Kobe Bryant Hyperextended Knee

[OG Hack Wilson]

the lakers are NOT "the greatest AND most glorified sports franchise GLOBALLY"...that prestige probably belongs to the yankees (although they havent done shit recently) or some soccer club in england.  the manchester united claim to have 330M fans world wide

lakers aint even #1 in they own sport

[F-cisco]

Kobe is one the best conditoned athletes in the legue. He will be fine.

LOL NIK, obviously all time the Lakers are better than the Spurs and that cant be debated but the last 10 years the Spurs have been a better franchise than the lakers, and you cant say the lakers are the best franchise ever in sports when they aren't even the best franchise in the history of basketball, The Celtics are, you know that NIK

threepeat>one and done every year. the recent Spurs arent even a dynasty...as for the Celtics,  they're nowhere near the Lakers as a collective franchise. Lakers never had a 20 year drought ala Boston and have put together way more historic and globally recognized dynasties.

id take being competitive every year for 10 years strait and winning 4 titles.....over a 3 peat and being irrelevant for the other half of the decade.

Lakers will end this decade with more titles, while the Spurs will end it being irrelevant in title talks...its obvious that the Kobe-Shaq era shits all over the Duncan-Parker-Ginobli era, and you can't stand it. Spurs=done.

Go to any other country and see how recognized the Celtics are compared to the Lakers...and then laugh.

The SHAQ/kobe era was great for the Lakers, no doubt. But like I said, once Shaq left....that era died and so did the Kobe Lakers. Theyve finally got a team thats good....but were irrelevent in the west for how long after Shaq left? You cant claim to be dominant for a decade when half of the decade was spent as a playoff doormat for actual contenders. The Spurs have been a constant contender every year for the last decade. The Spurs have been more consistant....the Lakers have been up and down.

Lakers only missed the playoffs ONCE through all that...so what you're saying doesnt make sense. The fact that we completely rebuilt a contender in the span of 3 years makes us even more remarkable.

thats silly because there aren't 3 years left in the decade so TYING 17 is impossible, let alone surprassing

youre forgetting that NIK thinks he has a rational argument as to why the Lakers will win the title every year. Funny how his argument is always SO rational.....yet never seems to come true.

[OG Hack Wilson]

like the times he said the Celtics were goiing to lose to Detroiti and LA

...you do know that soccer is the most popular sport in the WORLD, right? 

just cause the majority of people in the US dont follow it, doesnt mean the rest of the world is like us.

is it that big of a shock to you, to think that THE MOST POPULAR SPORT IN THE WORLD might have THE BEST AND MOST POPULAR FRANCHISE in the world??

i couldnt even name ONE player from ANY soccer club, except beckham...but that DOESNT mean that its not a wildy popular sport in other parts most of the world.

[J.D. Wykid, Esq.]

a quick search of google for "most popular sports franchise in the world" brought up three teams...and i know youre about to go ape shit, nik.  lol

the Dallas cowboys
the New York yankees
and Manchester United.

take that take that


EDIT:  upon more searching, the general consensus is that manchester united is the biggest sports club in the world.

^I still think Lakers are a bigger name globally...don't forget, US is the entertainment capital of the world, and everyone outside of the country looks up to us in that sense. for instance, everyone in England knows who Kobe is, but pretty much NOBODY in the US can name one English soccer star.
