I think there is some good talent in the NBA, that has enough experience,and fresh legs...to compete with the Lakers. The only real threat I see is Shaq and Kobe.

Kobe + Shaq + 10 fools was enough to win 3 titles.  Add Malone and Payton in there, and they are going to win 3 more, barring injury or retirement.

How much? I'll take that bet that they'll win 3 championships in a row and bet they won't...

No team can compete. If Shaq stays in shape you can no longer double team him with Malone at PF. Malone is an outside threat at PF. He may be old but you dont run much in the triangle. GP will take pressure off Kobe. Plus we need his 7.8 apg. Malone is no slouch on defense plus hes a stong PF. There is no need to talk about the Glove. These 2 instantly improve defense and also fills the 2 spots the Lakers needed. Hopefully they dont beat themselves with all the egos. Other than that its gonna be a long season for everyone else cus you cant match them man to man at all positions.

LOL, this is gonna be funny. Shaq, Kobe and Malone all fighting over the ball!
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I wish Jimmy Kimmel was still around to offer his expert opinion on Karl Malone's decision.

"The league's MVP in 1997 and 1999, Malone averaged at least 25 points for 11 straight seasons (1987-98).
"

Boy, thats an impressive stat there.  I think they need to elaborate, although it is amusing if you look at it the way they said it.

Malone in a lakers jerzy. The end of days has come. The dead will walk the earth I expect to hear the horns blowing anouncing the four horseman at any moment.

Man I gotta prepare for the victory riots in LA...

Make sure I have everything. I was missing the ingredients for a good dumpster fire the last time.
