Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

He's not worth 7 mil a year, true. He can be that garbage guy that McBob was and do the little things (rebound a little, keep the ball moving, hit a 3 or two).

He's a good place holder for the 2 young guys trying to learn and prove their ready.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I'm sorry you must not know Gerald Henderson has been a lockdown defender pretty much since he got in the league. His game has developed tremendously around it since then.

Ok healthy Kobe... yea thats fuuuckinnn inasane. Hurt Kobe? I still find that tough to say but kobe is old nba wise. And henderson D is REAL. If I was a bettin man I would never bet against Kobe but I couldnt blame you for thinking henderson could contain him

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I love watching the Warriors, but not really a big fan of them, I like Curry though. The Blazers were awesome to watch when Roy was there. The Suns were awesome to watch when Nash and Stoudemire was were there.



It's unfortunate for the Blazers, they would have had a championship team if it wasn't for injuries. Andre Miller, Brandon Roy, Nicholas Batum, Lamarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden, if they reached their full potential, that team would have been champions.



I only watch 2 teams closely, Raptors and Thunder.

How did you feel when KD hit that 3 in 2OT?

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Gilchrist is only good on defense. Atleast johnson has a jumper

I watched Johnson in Phoenix. I don't know how much he has changed, but he lacks consistency. I'll give you the jumper for Gilchrist, but he can drive to the rim pretty well.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Idk man... we cant say that for certain. Those knees got some miles on them. All we can truly do is hope

We won't see the same Kobe, I can say that. He will be more cautious, more timid out there. The "mamba mentality" just won't be 100%, even if his body is.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I think Kobe's knees can hold him under 20 by themselves.

Kobe said he is 100%.

He said he has accepted that he won't have the same athleticism anymore, but he just have to use other ways to score.

Kobe is probably top 5 NBA history in terms of fundamental and skills, he knows how to score. As long as he doesn't get hurts, he will score more than 20 pts. I'm predicting 21 PPG under 32 Mins.

I watched Kobe in one of few games he played last year. He had that one dunk against the Suns, but he didn't have that same Kobe look. I wasn't afraid of him shooting. We'll probably see the original Kobe when we get later in the season, but he's definitely not the same guy right now.

Fact of the matter is the Hornets have 2 great on-ball defenders, I'm not saying they'll shut EVERYONE down, but they can definitely rattle some guys.

I'm a Duke fan, I know Henderson more than you. He isn't locking up Kobe in his life time.

Henderson is a good defender, but Kobe abuses undersized guards like Gerald.

I have no doubts he will adapt his game to work for him. More jumpshots than normal. I just think he won't be able to take over as much as he used to.

No one is expecting to be the same guy, dropping 30 40 every game.

But he will do fine against most players. People are acting like Kobe is gonna turn to a role player or something. lol

Kobe is too skilled, too fundamentally sound, he will find his way to score without dunking on people.

Duke was actually my second favorite college growing up.

Saying you're a fan of a college doesn't mean you know anything more than the next guy about an alumni.

This is Kobe's "MJ Moment." He knows he shouldn't be attacking as much as he used to. Luckly, he's been working on his fundamentals and post moves for awhile now. He'll be fine, but I don't trust the rest of his teammates stepping up.

maybe, maybe not.

but I follow Duke players still after they get into NBA.

and like I said, Gerald got no chance against Kobe even though Kobe is old. Kobe is way too strong and skilled for Henderson to handle despite being a good defender.

He will become ONLY low-post Kobe
