Lakers 4peat. Kobe 4 MVP

[Vicious]

Don't worry, Kobe'll step up. The only place we're thinner at this year is SF due to the injury to Rick Fox and that won't really hurt us until we play the Kings. Other than that, it's basically the same team. Only problem is everyone else keeps geting better while Jerry Buss is too cheap to shell out money to get Kobe and Shaq some help.

As for Steve's friend, what a front runner. I admit I liked watching Jordan and the Bulls, but I was still a Lakers fan. there just wasn't much to cheer for back then, we sucked. I hated Jordan when he beat the Lakers for his first championship though.

I've heard rumors that Malone might take the cheap way out and go play for the Lakers so he can get himself a ring before he retires. I hope not, because I can't stand Malone. He was the one that made such a big deal about not wanting to play with Magic when he was trying to come out of retirement because of HIV.
