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.


like Harold "Baby Jordan" Miner or Gary "Shaq of the MAC" Trent?

Careful. Plenty of people here think Ingram & Ball flat out suck. It was okay for Kobe to jack up a million shots per game though. Even though Kobe has earn whatever accolades he's received in his lifetime, let's not pretend we didn't look away when Kobe became a black hole with 4 cheerleaders next to him.

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
In the 80's we have Showtime, now we have Zo' time.

Lonzo - "The Silent Mamba" - Nothing to say, just play
Kuzma - "The Fearless Mamba" - He has no fear, therefore nothing to fear
B. Ingram - "The Red Mamba" - Lips get busted driving aggressively to hoop

Not sure. It seems like they get red in game but not 100% sure maybe someone else could chime in.

That’s a funny ass comment though

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it's from drinking Gatorade?

Easy with calling someone mamba. Its only one real mamba. You have to be really really special to call someone like that.
They are all baby mambas. Few chips than we can talk.

The pass of Ball
The length of Ingram
The scoring skills of Kuzma
The dribble of Clarkson
The power of Randle
The athletic of Nance...

Hope they all become unmatched someday

Maybe we can move on to a different kinda snake since I kinda agree that the Mamba moniker should be retired with the Mamba. I like cars a a lot, how about the 3 Cobras?
