Lakers Coach Phil Jackson on Michael Jordan being a potential owner of the Charlotte Bobcats

[kickmepo]

You all are dumb asses. It was not the Bobcats, it was the Hornets, Hornets was based in Charlotte by that LOL. and Bobcats was founded on 2004. #zzz.

[jonnieos]

to all you retards kobe has a no trade clause in his contract, and if he's dumb enough to continue playing when his contract is over i'd love to watch him shoot 20ppg on 25% field goal percentage...

[CliveGains80s]

I'm sure in 2013 or 14 Kobe will not we playing for the Lakers if the Lebron opinion comes up. I can not believe he requested 30 million for 2013. Kobe is trying to follow Jordan path including the 30 million he requested in 97/98. Kobe already looks like his body is wearing down. If the lockout comes do players still get 20 plus million a year?

[lilzack24]

@CliveGains80s Looool ur stupid Kobe is retiring as a Laker...he dnt have to play till he is 40 i think he is gonna retire when he is like 36 and the Lakers will never let him go because he is a legend

[CliveGains80s]

I am not stupid man and agree Kobe more then 50% chance retire a Laker! GM are not loyal. My point is Kobe will be on 36 million in 2013 and new coach and he will be in mid 30's. Something gotta give. I cant believe he requested that. That's bigger then MJ's 30 million in 1998. WHo would trade for this on one 36 million guy?  I see younger LEBRON in LA. By the way when is Pat Riley coaching?

[lilzack24]

@CliveGains80s Lebron in LA?? Loooool r u kidding...i think if anything Lakers might get Dwight Howard but Kobe is most likely retire a Laker...I mean great players dnt stay around unless they r still productive and Kobe will still a 25 PPG guy for atleast 4 more seasons and after dat he will retire

[CliveGains80s]

@lilzack24 you must be big Kobe fan. You probably right. he retire LA but LA future is with Lebron. I thought Kobe's new contract started at 30 mill then went to 36 in in 2014. Seems I am wrong on current hoop hype. I think LA will do it again. I am not even a LA fan. Good luck with your team though!

[mitzkiro58]

MJ> Bulls to Wizards 2000... KB Lakers to Bobcats 2014? i dont think so.

[DjJokerr]

@mitzkiro58 Bobcats wouldn't even want Kobe, in 2014 Kobe is gonna be 36 years old. Besides Kobe already plays like shit, especially this year.

[jayminreed]

@DjJokerr it's his rings slowing him down.

[funnyfeeling101]

I really wish they would've kept it as the charlotte hornets; that sounded like a basketball team name, the charlotte bobcats sounds like high school volleyball.

[PanayotiProductions]

@funnyfeeling101 The Hornets was a marketable and established name. They totally lost their fanbase by changing their name to faggy bobcats.

[Duobitdezo]

@PanayotiProductions The hornets didn't become the Bobcats the team moved. The Bobcats are a new team. The Hornets are now based in New Orleans.

[000000MJ2345000000]

I think maybe Charlotte will be champ this year, hope so... (^_^)

[TommyTonic10]

@000000MJ2345000000 NAHHHHH Lol...but keep praying..

[redNECK1987]

hahaha at the very beginning lol "they made some great draft picks" lol damn right they did. how many of you lakers homers know that kobe was drafted by the charlotte hornets?

[Elmaln]

And they went and traded him right away for Divac, goes to show that they aren't at good at drafting as you make them out to be rofl.

[redNECK1987]

listen to what you said. "traded". has nothing to do with the comment i made about drafting. they are two totally different things. So what your saying is, because they made a bad trade, they are bad at drafting? yea...they makes a ton of sense. Dont forget divac was believed to have more potential than kobe before the draft. kobe up'd his game out of nowhere.

[Elmaln]

It all boils down to knowing talent when seeing it. And they deemed Divac to be better than Kobe, which means the Lakers had better foresight than the Hornets when it came to the draft you're commending them for.

[redNECK1987]

theres one problem with your last comment. the lakers didnt see talent in kobe. they wanted to clear cap space for shaq. look it up. kobe got tossed around because he was "ok" and cheap at the time. no one expected him to be good. thats why he got passed up by 12 teams.

[babroncos11]

@redNECK1987 jerry west saw talent in kobe.

as you said in your comment look it up! jerry west told the people around him at the time that kobe would be a star and that they needed to find a way to get him

[chr7595]

@redNECK1987 yea but not the bobcats

[ardaatalay10]

@redNECK1987 It's New Orleans Hornets.... Not Charlotte Hornets hahaha

[TheRiiiZe]

@ardaatalay10 your an idiot

[1more4carhur]

@ardaatalay10 that's where your developed time helped team came from you ignorant piece of shit. you think you're so high and mighty with a team that was just handed to you w/out them having to deal w/ building from nothing. you got baron davis right off the bat. to me, they'll always be the CHARLOTTE hornets. and if you think differently, i know every single CHARLOTTE hornet fan will come down there and drown you w/ what katrina couldn't do shit head. and besides, no hornets makes no sense

[redNECK1987]

@ardaatalay10 you sir, are a dumbass. the bobcats were the hornets first. then the team moved to new orleans. check up before you fuck up.

[whattaphuck]

@redNECK1987 we all did. sit please

[ikoirieainx]

@redNECK1987 lol then trucked it up by trading him to the LAKERS! now whos the homer

[woutakasinistra]

@redNECK1987

Lol you're so stupid. The Hornets picked Bryant because the Lakers wanted them to do. They had a pre-arranged deal to get Divac. The Hornets never even considered picking Bryant until the Lakers wanted that pick. Just like the Suns drafting Rajon Rondo. Celtics wanted him, Suns didn't even consider picking him, just did it because of a trade with the Celtics. Get your facts straight man. Kobe was officially picked by the Hornets, but really by the Lakers

[retrotw]

@woutakasinistra yea...its like trades for future positions and stuff like that...some fans dont get it...i mean when i saw pau gasols trade heading towards LAL i wasnt surprised...sure Lakers got something real good out of it..but its not like Pau Gasol can lead Memphis into anything...and Marc Gasol if anybody paid any attention before he entered the league would know...he's extremely solid...ive always thought he'd do well in the NBA..and he proved himself bigtime in this years playoffs

[Powderwombat]

@redNECK1987 You realise that the Bobcats were told to draft Kobe by the Lakers when it was their turn right? The Bobcats drafted whoever the Lakers wanted because the player was going to be traded immediately.

[fernandezjefferson]

haha why do you hate Bobcats coz they demolish the lakers on thier game?.. hahaha time passes by dude move on.. not every year lakers will be champ..

[iluvrei]

well it seems everybody's hating mj for doing this..he will lose some money...

but i dont know about the man...hes gonna change..if he wants to make the team a better one. more hands on...not the star but the owner

[80smetalchild]

this would be cool... actually awsome. micheal will get those boncats in the game

[TheVMFA333]

more like "bobpussies"

[PantherPride74]

@TheVMFA333 Why hate on the Bobcats when the just whooped the mighty Lakers tonight? The Bobcats have a winning record against the Lakers and if I remember correctly we have won 8 of our last 10 against you guys. Sounds to me like you're a sore loser... 98-83!

[raykob95]

uh the bobcats suk dik

dont even compare them to the lakers

[PantherPride74]

I didn't compare the Bobcats to the Lakers, all I said was that we own them and our record proves that.

[RealDeal336]

@PantherPride74 but jordan has killed the team already

no felton no playoffs

he was the heart of th eteam

[sourpatch2009]

GO LAKERS! THREE PEAT!

[tintin4561]
