His new jersey number, chosen by a fan, honors the record number of weeks Michael Jacksonâ€™s Thriller was #1 on the charts (37).

Prodigal Son · Jul 9, 2009

I saw it as him reversing the # that Rodman wore when he played for the Lakers. 73.

damn, so wait...

PG is still blah
SG is the Playoffs MVP
SF is a versatile Big/skilled Forward in Odom
PF is still the best 2nd Big Man of the playoff teams
C is still pretty good/up-and-comer in the NBA

6th man is a BEAST defender, great shooter/slasher, and will be great in accepting their crazy crowd! lol

Man, this just isn't fair. I swear, since I started watching basketball 3-4 years ago, the teams just seem to be getting more and more STACKED!

They are stacked but its not going to be easy , San Ant have improved alot and if Manu stays healtly that could be a hell of a series

Hasselbeck · Jul 9, 2009

Fuck him.

Bear Pand · Jul 9, 2009

San Antonio isn't gonna do anything, real problem is gonna be the Celtics...outside chance of Orlando/Cavs. Barring injuries, Odom not getting resigned, or a complete mental breakdown the Lakeshow is taking the west next year.

no but fisher is old.....he cant guard the elite Pgs of the nba...
Gasol is STILL soft....any1 with a strong post game can devour him...
Bynum is still ginger after his injury.....and Odom is inconsitent...

The lakers can be beat.....and it all starts with Kobe....put that KG defense on gasol and have an attacking PG ......then MAKE Kobe think its all on him....thats how u beat the lakers

artest.....he can blow this team up all by himself

Once again, can anybody guard the elites like CP3, D-Will, Rose, etc? Does everyone think defense is all one-on-one? Fisher is a good defender. He has the most trouble with speedy guys like Aaron Brooks, but he's no slouch on defense.

I highly doubt it.

Fisher won't be guarding the elite PG's. More then likely, if Odom gets resigned, Fisher probably won't even be starting. Kobe, Artest, Odom, Gasol, Bynum will probably be the starting line up.

Artest will blow up the Lakers just like Rodman blew up the Bulls.

You should be coaching in the NBA since you apparently know how to stop the Lakers yet, no one else in the NBA could figure it out.

Who plays PG in that starting Lineup , not saying it couldnt happen im just wondering

And most of what he said about beating the Lakers is true imo , its just easier said than done

I HIGHLY doubt they elect to use Kobe at the 1. Odom will come off the bench, Fisher will start. Everyone knows ive been calling Fisher the worst starting PG in the NBA for a while.. but you dont move Kobe to the 1 at this expense.

I been screaming for Artest to come to the Lakers for the last 3 seasons,even before he signed with the Kings.Finally Kobe has a sidekick just as nasty as he is....the Lakers resign L.O and its REPEAT...Artest is just what the Lakers need....toughness.

Nice color almost as sexy as Artest in his new laker jersey

Jerry Krause killed the Bulls.

he's not a starting point guard in the NBA.

Derek Fisher, 82 games played, 82 games started.

Pretty sure he's a starting PG in the NBA.
