LOL, that was when Shaw was suspended against the Blazers. Shaq and Fish were just pissed off and showing it.

 

Basically, Shaw came off the bench when Pippen and Fox were about to go at it, but there was a timeout called right before he got up. So, technically, he was fine in what he did...but the league didn't see it that way, and since it was an important playoff game, Phil was pissed, and so were the players.

 

The Lakers ended up winning that game, though. Harper played well in his place.

Another Laker-related Q:

Isn't Devean George the only Laker ever to win three titles in his fist three years w/ the franchise? Does anyone have a better debut?

Didn't see this.

 

Many have had a better debut. I wouldn't consider Devean George much of a contributor in our dynasty. He ran to the corner and hit open jumpers, played pathetic defense, didn't slash to the rim, didn't pass the ball, didn't do anything but hit those jumpers.

 

During the dynasty, he shot and made 335 shots total, 38% shooting. He scored 918 of the dynasty's 16,555 points (5-6 percent of the points), averaged 3 PPG in the first two seasons of the dynasty.

 

I sort of forgot he was on our team, to be honest.

When Kobe calls it a career... will the Lakers retire only his #24 jersey or both (#8 and #24)?

Kobe To Call It Quits At 35?

 

HANG TIME HQs – Kobe Bryant has put the world on notice. Two more years of him in purple and gold and that could be it. No more of that hook-jaw look after he drains a big shot. No more. After nearly two decade with him as a fixture in the league, as one of the most recognizable stars in all of sports, is Bryant ready to call it a career at the end of his current contract? That’s exactly what he told Graham Bensinger of the Huffington Post, when he suggested that the 2013-14 season could very well be his last:

 

“I’ve been playing for 17 years now, so next year will be my 17th and then, when I’m 35, it will be my 18th year in the league. I mean that’s a long time to be playing. It will be the last year in my contract, so I don’t know. I don’t know if I’ll play any longer than that.”

 

We’ve seen no signs of slow-down in Kobe the past two years. So there’s no real indication that there will be any more signs of slow-down in him between now and the end of the 2013-14 season.

 

But if he says there is a possibility that he hangs it up after 18 years in the league, no one can be mad at him. We’ll believe it when we see it, though. And that’s mostly because the Lakers have Steve Nash signed up for three years and by the end of the 2013-14 season Andrew Bynum (or Dwight Howard … we’re projecting here folks, it’s all hypothetical) should be in the physical prime of his career.

 

Can you see the most competitive player of his generation and one of the most competitive NBA champions of all-time walking away from the challenge of chasing one last title before he walks away from the game?
