He (Dr. J) was on the air at a radio station in LA giving an interview last week. I’m not quoting him verbatim but he said that Kobe is a great player and no one can question his abilities as far as what he does on the court. Doc also said that some of Kobe’s actions off the court has disappointed him somewhat, for example his post game interviews and some of the comments he makes after losing games. He also said that eventhough Kobe is a great player, he is also “easily replaceable”.

Now, I don’t know exactly what he meant by his “easily replaceable” comment but some of these clowns (sports talk personalities) down here in ATL were sure trying to spin it in a negative light because of their hatred for Kobe. A college friend of mine and I were talking about this last week and he (my college buddy) said that Dr. J may have been referring to the ‘business-side’ of the spectrum regarding Kobe.

If you get a chance to either hear or read about Dr. J’s comments, let me know what you think.

Did you check out the comments Dr. J made about Kobe?

Didn’t he state that he doesn’t want Al Jefferson guarding centers because of his size?? Didn’t he say he wanted to add a big man so that Jefferson could go to his natural PF position???

So what does he do??? He drafts a 6-10 PF. Well I guess Jefferson will be guarding yao, howard, kamen and shaq again this year.

How stupid can you be. He could have traded down and got one of the lopez kids who are truely 7 feet to play center and got another draft pick for next year.

Wow and I thought my Bulls were sorry.

Anyway Mizzo and Temple please pray for brotha Rose that young kat will need it in Chicago cause Reinsdorf cheap @ss will surround him with NBDL players and tell him to go out and win a championship.

Oh and Udonis haslem is 6’8 and Antwan Jameson is 6’9.

Beasley is 6’8 1/4″ so he will be fine. As lond as you have skills in this league you will be fine. Plus the dude has long arms and has a 7 foot wing span.

If Scola and haslem can avg 9 points in this league I darn well know that Beasley can avg. atleast 18 ppg. Especially with wade on the team.

This dude can create his own shot. Has handles, post up moves and an outside shot. This kid is the truth.

Its between him, rose and oden for rookie of the year.

Isn’t everyone two to three inches shorter than they say? Think of David West with agility. Beasley and West are probably about the same size — and Beasley’s used to destroying people.

Great point.
