Humor me, let's see how desperate we are!

Would you suffer Kobe in Green if it means we get to see some NBA level basketball?

No punks allowed.

Heck, no.  I would not want Kobe on the C's.  He is tainted.  It's ok for them to take our guys ( Fox and Sharman) but not vice versa.

I'd rather wallow in mud.

He's the face of the Lakers.

He is a great competitor and will go down in history as perhaps the closest thing to Michael, IMO - but no thanks to the question.

No.  It wouldn't be "team" ball, it would be Kobe directing the other players...so it wouldn't be worth it, for me.  When I want to watch an individual sport, I usually watch tennis.

Just found a way to twist the knife with the lockout, huh?

Anyways, I don't think I would be interested in Kobe, mostly because I think he is firmly on the downside of his career, and we have enough guys to watch decline already.

As long as we're not giving up Pierce, KG, Rondo, or Ray to get him, sure.

If the media thinks JoePa should lose his job for not being accused of committing a crime, but merely reporting it to supervisors within 24 hours, then I'm not sure why the media thinks it's ok for Kobe to play in the NBA.  I don't want him.

No. I heard of it. I'm pretty scared to watch. This thing is extremely depressing for me

Its like one of those episodes that's in virtually every comic book/TV series/movie where the superhero teams up with the bad guy in the face of a bigger disaster. Half the time the bad guy tries to take advantage of the situation in the end. Kobe would be the Yellow Lantern guy?

Yeah, but I think it may not be up your river if you get my drift. Really crass, desensitized humor. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I doubt you will.

They just racked on Penn State the entire time. Just brutal.

Only if it means we have a chance at getting LeBron too?  ;D



Seriously though, if you can help me win, I want you on my team.  If I'm fighting for the North, I don't refuse soldiers just because they used to fight for the Confederate army, if you can help me win the war, come on over. 

Really, what better way to stick it to the Lakers than to win with Kobe?
