Kobe is back! He's this generation's MJ.
Odom is gonna be this generation's Pippen.

I don't know what it is, but I think this team has the potential to be the most entertaining show since... showtime.

Rudy T plays a running game and he can whip LA into shape. The thing that the team lacked with Phil Jackson was a work ethic. One of Kobe's specific demands of Rudy was that he restore this. We're gonna see some hustle, like the Pistons.

A couple days ago, I heard GP wanted to be bought out of his contract, but now I'm hearing that both he and Malone will be back. GP in a running game? Holy shit!

A lot of people think losing Shaq was the worst thing the Lakers could do. Maybe they won't win the championship this year, but they will be an awesome team to watch. I think our centers will do their job well. All we need on a running team is hustle and boards. Plus, if by chance we land Vlade, we'll have a passing center for the few possessions where we wanna slow it down.

Screw all the haters who think the Lakers are going to hell. I have confidence in my team.
