OMG. Can’t believe the awful news. Great sports writer. Great, great guy. RIP Doof. @DufRankman.
As diminished as his play was after Achilles surgery in 2013, #Kobe turned into a grown-up version of his post-adolescent self, less edgy and happier...
He didn’t have to beat out MJ as GOAT. Being Kobe, husband and father, was enough.

The Bald Mamba’s All-Star candidacy is over but he and rest of supporting players around #LeBron and AD… and Frank Vogel’s defensive scheme... and Pelinka-led front office recovering from last spring’s nightmare… are why #Lakers have done what they have.

It was @StephenCurry30 who changes the way the game is played… but #LeBron who changed the system.

What’s a superstar worth> In 2016 #Lakers couldn’t get an audience with KD. In 2018 they got #LeBron, who got them AD in 2019 and—they hope—will re-sign with them in 2020… then get them Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2021.

Everyone on the bandwagon: If won-loss record is the standard of proofs, #Lakers front office is a laughingstock no longer.

After years of internal strife, this feels like #Lakers' golden age/interlude from 2008-2010 when they made three Finals and won two w/ #Kobe as alpha male like #LeBron now, and Pau happy to be No. 2 like AD, after years of Shaq-Kobe and post-Shaq decline.

How wretched are the #Knicks? Take #Lakers meltdown of last spring—if they had one of those annually, they’d be the Knicks…. Special commendation for owner James Dolan, whose daddy gave him the team. Surprise, Jimbo doesn’t know what to do with it!

Next best things in Load Management Era: #KD (still looking for home w/third team in four+ seasons)…. #GreakFreak (shooting 75% within five feet, 34% everywhere else)… #Kawhi (old 28)… #StephenCurry (no longer running endless pick-and-rolls like Harden.

Who’s most productive today?… #LeBron, at 34, missed missed games last 7+ seasons, while playing in 6 Finals. More than a mere star w/unmatched cachet, recruiting AD in plain sight….#JamesHarden: 29 PPG over 7+ seasons w/27 missed games.

Load management prompts all-important issue of durability: #Wilt, league of his own but w/myriad issues…. #MichaelJordan gold standard: 7 missed games in last 10 full seasons in Chi, never tried to leave until post-retirement at 38.

#Lakers are finally back…. After years of bad starts and worse endings, none of this season’s nightmare scenarios has come true…. Major props to Frank Vogel, hired under the shakiest of circumstances, whose defensive scheme has Laker No. 1 at that end.

Happiest to see #Warriors fall? Try #Lakers, who used to be richest team around, wishing they could spend whatever they wanted... Dubs now projected to make $200M more than Lakes, who are thankful there's a cap... as both look towaard Giannis in 2021.

#Lakers still own L.A. and dare to hope again… but #Clippers are the ones whose dreams are coming true.
ocregister.com/2019/10/26/he…
Much depends on how #Laker supporting casts shoots threes and it’s hardly a given…. @KyleKuzma made 30% at Utah, 37% as #NBA rookie, 30% last season…. @DGreen_14 made 45% in five-year span in SA, dropped to 38% in last three, 46% last season in Toronto

These photos aren’t from the WalMart in El Paso, but 2 others in TX. How are other shoppers supposed to know if they are just carrying an accessory or if they’re about to open fire and murder 20?! There’s no way to know until they actually start shooting.

No matter how often #Magic says it, allegations that Pelinka back-stabbed him are absurd. For one, Rob couldn’t have ever dreamed he could unseat Magic. More to point, if Jeanie believed it for a second, Rob would be long gone.
