  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
• Sage

  

  You gotta admit though, pretty sick t-shirt.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Yeah, it is very well done.
• devil1197

  Gotta have shirts that will last through time, after June this shirt won't matter too much.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  The back is, I think the front looks like the cover of a gay porn.
  
  But what I found funny, is that he might as well keep that wrap on the finger--it's never going to be replaced with another ring...
• Sage

  

  Eh, that's a pretty broad statement to make. Sure, LeBron may win it all this year--but it's not like the Lakers won't be coming back hard. Remember when everybody said that after we got dumped by the Celtics in 2008? "LOL KOBE WILL NEVER WIN ONE WITHOUT SHAQ HE BETTER QUIT TRYING." I'd say those people look pretty foolish now. Sometimes losing is the best thing to happen to a team, especially to somebody like Kobe.
  
  Remember Jordan's 72 season? Came after he got dumped by the Magic.
  
  Pau/Kobe/Odom are all up in 3 years. That's our window. After that, they'll retool and build the team around Bynum (hopefully). Don't worry about Lakers, we'll be fine.
• wes_mantooth

  

  ^^^Agree with everything except the Bynum statement. He seems like he has completely leveled off. They will retool, but it will be someone else.
• Sage

  

  Well, Bynum is a beast. He's just gotta prove he can stay healthy.
  
  You have to remember, Bynum may be like... the 5th best guy on our team? If he was on Minnesota, people would be like OMG LOOK, A YOUNG, MORE OFFENSIVELY POLISHED DWIGHT HOWARD!
  
  He's 21. He's got plenty of time to get his shit together. He's finally buying into the whole rebounding/shot blocking/altering thing, so we'll see how it goes.
  
  He may be our 5th best player, but he is invaluable to us.
• Rotinaj

  

  His neck looks ridiculous.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Maybe, but I think they should build around Sasha.
  
  And you are correct, probably won't know what you have with him until Kobe and the others are gone. Then he will be forced into the leadership role.
• Sage

  

  Hahahaha. I had to scroll up to look... but looking at it... yea, his neck does look ridiculous.
• devil1197

  Bynum may be 21, but he has the body of a veteran big imo. Too fragile to play an entire season plus the playoffs without missing significant time.
  
  LAL needs a solid PG and to replace Artest (who hasn't fit right imo).
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Bynum is soft. If he can ever get over that he'll be the best center in the league.
• Sage

  

  Unfortunately, we won't be building around Sasha. His assassination is one of Mitch Kupchak's biggest priorities this year. If that fails, he will become "Sasha Vujacic's Expiring Contract" and probably dealt to Charlotte like that ingrate Vladimir Radmonivic.
  
  But yea, we'll see. You're right, Bynum hasn't displayed with Alpha Dog tendencies you'd like to see. He may be too passive. He's definitely part of our future though.
• Sage

  

  Also, the Ron Artest/Ariza swap had to be done. Had to. I'd still do it again in a heartbeat.
  
  Artest hasn't caused one problem this year and has been LIGHTS OUT on the defensive end. His shooting has been off (he has some bad finger problems at the moment), but he's still an asset. He's struggled with adapting his game to the Triangle (which I also think has contributed to his shooting woes).
  
  I wish he'd take more guys to the rack, but it'll click for him soon enough. He's better than Ariza, end of story.
• 77Legend

  

  The Shirt was sick! I do agree, the front could of had a better picture.
• skank

  

  I didn't know you got a ring everytime you raped a girl.
• Automatik

  

  lol that doesn't even look like him.

  If that's the case, this would be a Roethlisberger shirt
• ZombieKiller

  Kobe can't win without Shaq? Screw that, Kobe can't win without Derek Fisher.

  Yes, that one is a classic! Have you seen the Delonte video that inspired that?
  
  the JJ doughnut tees are hilarious as well, simply because of Delonte Wests' stint on Jim Rome is Burning.. Everything ties in so well lol.
