Presuming ofcourse that at some point, all three of em spend more time and all get special tutelage from the original Mamba and pick up that fierce killer instinct we all know and love and begin killing teams with it.
Also, because the term of 'Young Core' is dated now (bye bye DLo) and was kinda bland in the first place.
Banking that in good time, Mamba Kuz, Mamba Gram and Mamba Zo will ALL be vicious killers on the court.
Whattaya think folks? |

Lol imagine if Bulls fans started calling Derrick "Air Rose" back when he was supposed to lead them back to championships. "Three Mambas" is just as terrible. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

I think we should accept Kobe is retired and let the current players be themselves and earn a nickname, and not try to foist someone else's nickname on them. |

Why can't they be The Three Bucks, or The Three Caps, or The Three Stilts or even The Three Happys? |

Kobe had a killer instinct that was far beyond remarkable. By trying to squeeze young players into that mold, you not only belittle them, you diminish Kobe. There have been many champions who do not want to rip your heart out. The youngsters may or may not be like that. Sit back and enjoy the show. |

How about change the title to thread, or someone create a new one....we need some nickname ideas.....maybe one for the team or even one for the bench. For example, "Showtime" included everyone that played with Magic in that era....pieces come and go, but "Showtime" remained. My opinion its better not to be player(s) specific....even the great ones like "Splash Brothers" dies off simply by adding Durant.
Any good unique ideas? Simple, unique, pops, and everyone gets it. Some examples...
Showtime - 80's Lakers
Bad Boys - late 80's/early 90's Pistons
Greatest Show of Turf - late 90's/early 00's Rams
Bronx Bombers - continues to be used for Yankees
America's Team - Cowboys
Steel Curtain - 70's Steelers
Big Red Machine - 70's Reds
Dream Team - 92 Mens Olympic BBall |

Zo looks like a mix of beige and gray if that's possible. There's an old VW color called gray-beige, that's what he reminded me of when he lifted his shirt. I don't think I've ever seen another human being of that shade. LaVar has no genes. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

Kobe's retired. He's not walking through those doors any time soon so there's no need to keep forcing him everywhere with these new Lakers. I say we let these new players live out their own careers.
Imagine if Kobe was "High School Magic" or some other stupid nickname when he was drafted. _________________ If Brandon Knight were to come out, I would take him number 1 in the draft. - Magic Johnson Mar 27, 2011
