I'm a Kobe hater? No, I simply tell it how it is, I have no interest with Kobe either way, I don't care what he does.

He doesn't have to justify it to you. Jordan got 30 million per at age 35 and that was in 1998.

Jordan played 82 regular season games at the age of 35 and the entire playoffs in 1998. Jordan worked out in the regular season, in the offseason, and just basically whenever he could. Jordan actually cared about the game and had pride to the point that he would work himself to exhaustion. Is any of that true of Shaq? Nope. You think Shaq's going to play the full 82 and be completely healthy for the 2007 regular season when he's 35? Yeah right.

With inflation Shaq is asking for less, and make no mistake......he's still the best.

LMAO! Inflation? Do you know how controlled inflation has been since 1998? $30 million in 98 is almost exactly $30 million today, the difference is negligible. Jesus.

LOL you don't prove anything you say. The very best I've ever seen from you is you referencing Jerry Buss' opinion when he's in the midst of saying ANYTHING he thinks will make Kobe happy.

Yup, when you can't find evidence to support your point, it's better just to brush off comments directly from the Lakers owner himself. Get over it, you have absolutely nothing to go on and are spewing blatant hate that is painfully transparent.

2000-2004 regular season and playoffs combined, Kobe is the leading apg shooting guard in the NBA. Doesn't pass a lot? I suppose, if you completely ignore apg.

And that's with reinsdorf......MJ would have gotten 45 from Cuban.

LMFAO inflation runs at 3% per year

1998 - 30,000,000
1999 - 30,900,000
2000 - 31,827,000
2002 - 32,781,810
2003 - 33,765,264.33
2004 - 34,778,222.25
2005 - 35,821,568.91
2006 - 36,896,215.97
2997 - The first year of Shaq's would be extension -

38,003,012.44

Wow.....so now 8 million dollars is negligible.....sweet. Can I have 8 million dollars? Since it's such a meaningless amount.

LOL a Laker fans pro Laker argument supported by the LAKERS OWNER (I.E. BIGGEST PRO LAKER PERSON ON PLANET) is unbiased and fair. Riiiiiiight.

Link? The only player who would be close is T-Mac, and Kobe has averaged more than T-Mac in that span. See for yourself....

If that's not enough proof for you, you can research every SG in the NBA yourself.

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound when you say that there has been nearly 20% inflation since 1998? Do you even know what inflation is?

LOL a Laker fans pro Laker argument supported by the LAKERS OWNER (I.E. BIGGEST PRO LAKER PERSON ON PLANET) is unbiased and fair. Riiiiiiight.

Huh? You might as well use that argument for everything coaches and players say of their teams. It's nonsensical and illogical. Sorry, but I'll trust the word of the owner over some Internet board nut who thinks there has been nearly 20% inflation over the past 6.5 years.

See hobojoe's post for links. Here, I've calculated it for you:

Kobe's apg 2000-2004: 5.28.
Tmac's apg 2000-2004: 4.84.

Those are the top 2 passing SGs since 2000.

Nope won't be the first option, only two have ever dunked on Shaq that I remember, one retired from the game two years ago, and the other one just won MVP. Hopefully Shaq smears Kobe on the ground.

being that Derrick Coleman is still active and KG made #2 I would like to know who the other was

I'm sorry I have been working way too much lately and missing way too much. What is this? Can someone explain?
