^^^^ that's why stats are very overrated ... Gasol is a VERY average performer in the clutch
^^^^ By watching the games ... Kobe had his share of misses in the clutch but he made a lot too ... these stats are based on the last shot anyways ... clutchness is more than the last shot imo ... if the game is a closed one and a player has like 15 pts in the 4th , he's clutch in my book ... another factor stats don't reflect well is the way players are defended in these situations ... I'm sure role players like Fisher and Horry who have made a living hitting open shots in the money time have better FG% than Kobe .... are they better closer thab him ? I think the answer is obvious
You see what you want to see
so you are all excited about buss paying less money? he's rich as hell anyways, it's a non-issue for the lakers. vujacic sucks, but he is still better than joe smith. sasha can at least hit the 3 when other niggas shots don't fall. joe smith won't do anything.with that said noone is going to pick up walton's contract, because it's long-term, unlike vujacic's.
The 2009-10 Lakers met with President Obama yesterday, which happened to only be a few days after Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls beat Los Angeles 88-84.Obama you see, is a Bulls fan. So naturally, the president saw an opportunity to zing Kobe. What Obama probably wasn't ready for, was for Kobe to zing him right back. Via ESPN LA: Derrick Rose may have your number," President Obama lightheartedly jabbed at Kobe Bryant as the team posed for a photograph after presenting the president with an autographed replica 2009-10 championship banner, like the one that hangs at Staples Center. "I said, 'If he calls that number, I'll be sure to pick up after the fifth ring,'" Bryant quipped back -- referring, naturally, to the five championship rings he has.And boom goes the dynamite.
