    Disagree if you will.. He IS the greatest Laker ever surpassing Magic to Me in my honest opinion. Longevity, 20 years in the game, Championships with 2 completely different cast of Characters. Offense, defense, Psychopathic Cerebral Assassin. Always kept the desire to compete no matter what the team record was, Odds, Injuries... Etc. He ripped thru KILLERS TO EARN HIS CHAMPIONSHIPS. Nothing he did can be debated in terms of what the bottom line was. #AirApparent #MambaOut #Mamba👑

But I can enjoy them now. He isn't here, but he left behind all these gems. Thank you, they are very precious. These games were hard fought, and very much old school games, the styles in which they were played. Kobe, always stay ahead of them all along with Pau and Fisher. They all pulled together in order to win, and win is what they have done. They are the winners indeed. Thank you.
