Laker Linkage – 12/3/09
December 3rd, 2009 | by Garrett Wilson |- The Story: Luke Walton is back sitting on the bench with the Lakers again. The Fire Says: Luke won’t be active for a few weeks yet, but at least he is feeling good enough to hang with the rest of the team after having surgery the other week.
- The Story: Kobe Bryant is making a point to show support for the bench players, specifically Adam Morrison. The Fire Says: Kobe is trying to help the bench boost their confidence and turn around their fortunes.
- The Story: Pau Gasol and opera tenor Placido Dominago have formed an unlikely friendship. The Fire Says: I can’t imagine what the two talk about other than Spain and beards.
- The Story: The Lakers aren’t commenting about Ron Artest’s claim that he used to drink during games early in his career. The Fire Says: And smartly so as no good can come from it. I still think that Ron-Ron is just making stuff up to increase his legend as a world-class weirdo, which he seems to enjoy for some reason.
- The Story: A Sporting News poll of experts has Kobe Bryant voted as the best player in the NBA, getting almost twice as many first-place votes as LeBron James. The Fire Says: The voters were a collection of current players, former players, NBA legends, coaches and GMs, so it is pretty much as legit as it gets, therefore, suck it LeBron.
