soon to add 3 more - may be pg3, another big c and one more

how many teams have starters that are better than our 'backups' of ds/matthews/kuz/morris/trezz ???

nets/miami/boston/raptors/sixers/mavs/warriors/clippers/houston ???


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.

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
2 Derek Fisher PG 6-1 200 August 9, 1974 us R Little Rock
5 Robert Horry SF 6-10 240 August 25, 1970 us 4 Alabama
6 Eddie Jones SG 6-6 190 October 20, 1971 us 2 Temple
12 Jerome Kersey SF 6-7 215 June 26, 1962 us 12 Longwood University
35 Joe Kleine C 6-11 255 January 4, 1962 us 11 Notre Dame, Arkansas

7 Larry Krystkowiak PF 6-9 220 September 23, 1964 us 9 Montana
24 George McCloud SF 6-6 205 May 27, 1967 us 6 Florida State
34 Shaquille O'Neal C 7-1 325 March 6, 1972 us 4 LSU
20 Rumeal Robinson PG 6-2 195 November 13, 1966 jm 5 Michigan
45 Sean Rooks C 6-10 250 September 9, 1969 us 4 Arizona
