Well, I am the only one and still believe in the Lakers and will always be a LAKERS FAN whether they win or lose although I like it better when they are winning.

We certaintly cannot bring back the past and the crazy days of basketball. I miss Chick Hearn, I miss Kareem and Magic playing although I was only 7-8 at the time these guys were my basketball heroes. Kobe is an amazing basketball player, he does have an incredible talent. He has asked for help and has not got what he needs to win and that is a team effort. Basketball is a team sport.

You guys can complain all you want about Kobe but he is an awesome basketball player so is/was Shaq. No one has the ability to score like he does. The closest I have seen recently is Gilbert Arenas but no one can turn it on/off when needed. Trade or not, the Lakers have to do what's best for the organization and I hope they rebuild one hell of a basketball team so I can see all these fairweather basketball fans jump on the bandwagon again and say oh I am a Lakers fan. Now ask me about the officiating and the leagues garbage policies for suspensions.

Ok I'm done for now.
