"I think the LA Lakers, considering their team of Gasol, Kobe, Tru Wariar (Artest), and considering their schedule, are really poised to challenge the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 wins. Their schedule, their first 21 games, four of them are on the road…one against Okalahoma City…one against Houston…one against Denver. Ok, lets call that a loss…..one against Golden State…the Lakers should be 20-1 after their first 21 games.

Should they win it all? Ummm..Well I think, if they’re all healthy, I like the Boston Celtics."

Reggie!!!

Good to see you are still up to something. Too bad you joined us for a quick jumper off the bench.

its the former players that know more about the game than analysts, so him saying this means more than a bunch a guys guessing

That's just a hilarious quote to me.

I don’t know the logic, I don’t care. So long as we hoist the trophy, ya?

Fair enough.

Course Reggie Miller ain’t Miss Cleo either.

Reporter: About a year ago I asked about the Celtics-Lakers thing and you said you'd really only seen it on TV. Now you've been through it, can you talk about playing the Boston Celtics for the NBA championship?
Kobe: It Sucks.
