The only thing in the back of my head is that all this excitement hinges on Lebron staying in his prime. Conventional wisdom says he has no business doing what he's doing. But I know he's built different. Still.. a little nervous. |

Hopefully this new squad can hold it down with Lebron playing even less minutes in the regular season. I don't see any reason why we won't. _________________ KOBE |

I think Kobe first few years is comparable when we failed to win it all.
4 all stars - Shaq, Kobe , Van Exel , and Eddie Jones
And we have Campbell, Fox, Horry , Fish and Blount off the bench. |
1996-97 lakers
very deep but lacked the top 2 players in 2020 as kobe was a pup
43 Corie Blount PF 6-9 240 January 4, 1969 us 3 Cincinnati
8 Kobe Bryant SF 6-6 212 August 23, 1978 us R
41 Elden Campbell PF 6-11 215 July 23, 1968 us 6 Clemson
23 Cedric Ceballos SF 6-6 190 August 2, 1969 us 6 Cal State Fullerton
