1: Do you like to watch movies about gladiators?

2: Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

bonus question: Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked...in the head...with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry Kareem, that's a dumb question... skip that.

I would love to know his candid thoughts on the officiating and the treatment of Kobe. Does it seem unfair because we're biased fans, or is there really something to it?


He twittered after game 4, "Lakers won 5 on 8," so I think we have the answer. Other than that I'm thinking he's not feeling it's a good pr move to expound on the topic, so don't hold your breath for an answer.

Assuming the good Dr. Buss has set the highest possible threshold for roster salaries, and because it's really in their collective power to make it all happen, would it make you happy to see players Kobe, Trevor and LO get together and ask themselves how important it is to them to continue with this possible dynasty?

OK -- let's ask him who's a better actor -- him or Foxy?

We've all heard how you've tried to encourage Andrew to learn and use the sky hook. Other than LaMarcus Aldridge, there isn't one player in the nba whose trying to learn this shot. I've been able to duplicate many shots, including Pau's hook just from watching him do it, and I've spent years fooling around with the Sky hook, but to this day I haven't come close. Do you think this is a shot you simply have to have a talent for, and that this has a lot more to do with how you were made than just being instructed a certain way and practicing it?

- who was his inspiration/motivation for the character Roger Murdoch?

ok serious question:
Does any modern NBA player remind himself of him? and how does he think his game would have translated in today's NBA?

Great job LG!!

Let's go way back for a moment to your early years with this ballclub. Tell us something interesting about the days when you rejoined your UCLA teammate Lucius Allen, on the court again.

What do you want to know? Post your questions here and I will take the two best questions to him for Cap's insight.

I, myself, am a little curious about how he felt to be on the coaching side of a championship. Seemed like he went right over to Bynum after they won the final game. So, what were his thoughts then and did he have anything to say to Drew?

Post your questions...


KAJ is a HUGE Jazz fan. Ask him who was the better trumpet player, Miles Davis or Clifford Brown?

Why isn't he even considered for NBA coaching jobs considering his history and work as a coach, especially with Bynum?

+1 Hope this question will be presented sometime, I've always wanted to ask Cap about his experience with Bruce Lee.

Which title that you won with the Lakers was the most satisfying and why?

Do you see yourself becoming a head coach one day? If so, could you see yourself ever becoming the Lakers head coach?

KBCB; I hope DB puts that one to KAJ. You know which way my flag blows.

(1) CAP What was your feeling when Elvin Hayes and the Houston Cougars broke UCLA's 47 game winning streak and Hayes did some bragging?

(2) Which did you enjoy playing most, college or professional basketball and why?

Side note; Clifford or Miles

1) What separates Drew from being a legendary center, and do you realistically see him bridging that gap in the next 3 years?

2) Who else besides Drew are you working with, and how focused are they on what you're showing them?

and another one in case there's time;

3) If you could add one of these players to a team that was ordinary at every position, how would you rank these 3; Wilt, Magic, Michael?

There are a bunch of great questions here, I'd just like to know:

Do players/coaches/gms around the league actually visit NBA forums, and if so what are they trying find out?

Kareem, do you still have aspirations to become a head coach in the NBA someday?

My question:

Kareem, I attended my first away game in Phoenix when you made the only three point shot of your career. (It was my first Lakers away game in Phoenix at Veteran's Memorial Colliseum.) Nice shot by the way, but my question is, did you ever attempt or shoot and make, any other memorable long shots prior to the three point line addition, and if so, were any of those sky hook style?

You beat me to the jazz question.

1) Ask him what jazz musicians would he put in his fav five.

2)Ask what is he planning for his next book.

I think he could talk for days about these subjects.
