| Look at Dlo leaning in and Zubac and Ingram totally attentive. Meanwhile Metta in the back wondering whether his pastrami sandwich spoke to him. |

Sounds like a couple of cats around these parts that should take these wise words of advice.

That would be silly not to talk about the good old days when in a basketball discussion about how to become great.
Let's say you are so young you've never seen the magic, kareem teams, nor the kobe shaq teams and not even the kobe gasol teams. All you know about is the spurs one a title vs lebron and lebron hooked up with wade and bosh. Then left to hook up with love, kyrie and finally won another one, while gstate has curry, klay, draymond and they have won a title and broke the season wins record. If you're that young, you have no idea what greatness looks like when it's homegrown and when a team has a dynasty going. These new players are great in their own right. But they for the most part are not as tough mentally as those guys of the recent past(shaq/kobe, jordan, etc.) or even the older guys(magic, bird, kareem, etc.) So this means when we are in here discussing these topics about Free agents and draft picks. us older guys are looking for something we've seen before in those greats with tough mindsets. You are just looking for a team to magically start winning a lot before you hop on the bandwagon. There's a difference between the two. |

I just get a feeling of sadness when I see Jerry West now. He's the greatest Laker ever but didn't really get the respect he deserved when he was here. Seeing him help other teams the last decade + is just...ugh  Makes me sick.
On a positive note, he gave a little fist pump after Ingram made a shot the other night
