I can understand if he's not one of your favorites, but what's not to like?

It's his personality/cockiness. Most everyone I know who are basketball fans feel the same. Confidence is great, but there is a certain something he does(Kobe isn't far behind), that just rubs me the wrong way.

D.Fish is great IMHO, he already took a pay cut to go from Utah back to LA, AND another "low" pay to again stay with the LAkeshow!

I like Wade, and Bosh, and with LeBum in the line up i dont doubt that they will do pretty well

but WE all know that winning an NBA championship is one of the hardest things to do, nothing is guaranteed

Kobe/Gasol combo didnt work the 1st year they played together...but it sure did 2 years in a ROW!!!!
