Athletes are forgeting where they come form. Some feel like they are above the law, others feel that they can step on the "little people" Still others forget that they are on camera most of the time. What happened to "Being Like Mike?" Who will step up to that role? Tiger, Kobe, Becham? Who will this generation "Wanna Be Like?"
Athletes like Pacman Jones or Roger Clemens, to name a few, should either Get It Together or Leave so that Sports can finally get back to Producing Positive Role Models, 'Like Mike'
. . .Look at how FATE is revealing itself. Wouldn't this be the icing on the cake, for "DADDY" to come back home to retire? Phoenix is mighty close . . .
Shaquille O'Neal is prepared for the Miami Heat to trade him, a confidant of the 14-time All-Star center told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. O'Neal's associate, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to reveal anything publicly, indicated a move could be imminent. "Shaq thinks something will happen," the associate said.
My Badd !!!, LakerLand. My expectations for Kwaame were too high. He Couldn't Get It. Michael Jordan saw something in this guy, so two out of three ain't bad. Mitch has to be commended now for putting up with criticism after the Shaq trade plus other prospects that never panned out.
. . .To Da Best Player In Da World (KOBE), Da Starting Line-Up, Da Bench and Da One's On Da I. R. List . . .
10points & 10 rebounds? Wow, I knew you had GAME buddy.I know that you can be "CON-SIS-TAN-T". I will go out on a limb for you. Give him a break LAKERLAND. Remember that we are all human. Some of us GET IT right away, others don't. Many have gone on and still won't have another chance at GETTING IT.
Finally!!! I was about to write Kwaame off as another B. Cook/ Samaki Walker/ EldenCampbell, you know," Laker Wannabe's". The basketball gods did not allow you to go in the first round for nothing, man. I have never wavered in my faith in your skills. You have GAME. All your other teammates are GETTING IT this year. YOUR TIME IS NOW Kwaame Brown! I know you can GET IT too.
It's unfortunate that OUR BIG MAN is out for eight weeks. I feel that the rest of the team should pull their own weight. We've won THREE RINGSby guys not playing up to their potential. How sweet life would be in LAKERLAND if everybody pulled their own weight. Say what you want about THE BEST PLAYER NOW!!!(Kobe Bryant), but remember we are on the outside looking in!!!
