Sasha isn't really beloved. Sasha, other that little run in 2008, was the Danny Green of the Kobe-Pau Era.
I think both Players will forever get applause in Staples Center.. **When Fans actually get to attend Games again. KCP has definitely been a key contributor in several Wins this Postseason. Glad to see him step up.
Kcp has been my favorite player on the team for a while now. In Walton era I always thought he was underrated and also still improving. Loved him this season. I got his jersey before the playoffs started my first post on this board was defending him. During the Luke Walton years I saw kcp as still young and had shown more than a few flashes of his potential as a championship type of player but he was up and down and had to improve a few things. Anyways it’s funny cuz I always thought his absolute floor as a player on a championship team was a Sasha vujacic type player, some energy, get annoying on d, maybe hit a 3 now and then. But I also always thought his absolute ceiling was high like as in a legit third scorer who can also really defend but people never mentioned him in that light for some reason even though his d has always been good and he had scored in the teens consistently for stretches here (and in Detroit prior) and he continued to improve as a player up to this point. Maybe ppl were just less attached cuz he was drafted by Detroit and on one year balloon contracts but he was always only like a year older than the guys the team had drafted. When he’s at his best like last night he’s great and also such a great fit cuz it’s the way he scores: he shoots the three well and otherwise scores without being ball dominant (and is a guard) so just fits like a glove with ad and lebron. I knew when Bradley dropped out he was gonna have his chance for more playing time and responsibility. He’s for sure way surpassed that Sasha level absolute floor but his absolute ceiling would basically mean last game on a consistent basis idk I guess could still be possible. Like with minutes and touches in this role maybe but he’d have to basically take a leap next year at this stage of his career. Basically I’m super high on him I believe in kcp
Could we change the title of this thread to KCP bench MF MVP, or some such variation? It would cheer me up after today. If not I understand. He bought a lot to the game today, and I am thankful for that. The three leading to his five point run, that first dunk early on the game. Excited me so much I broke the swear filter and ended up sounding like Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet.
Any Laker who got to bang the balls with Maria Sharapova as his girlfriend for a while, always gets my approval. I mean, she's a loud grunted. I heard that when the Lakers dumped Sasha, Maria followed soon I guess there is really no love in the tennis game.
KCP the MVP - Most valuable Playoff Pope. KCP played like a KCG(angster) and created excitement. Now in the conversation for one of my favorite third tier Laker players. As I said on gameday, the Clutch tax returned with a significant tax refund.
