As much as I love my Lakers… Mitch & Jim absolutely BOTCHED Kobe’s final years! He was forced to play heavy minutes trying to get them to the playoffs, tearing his Achilles in the process. People are hard on Jeanie & Rob not realizing what they inherited. We’re STILL recovering from the damage they inflicted.
Only half of the story... Drafting Lonzo over DFox and Tatum, Tearing the team up for RUSS. And hiring a good friend (Magic) over common sense. These are major factor why the LAKERS are sadly under performing. They inherited a mess, but they didn't help it much by making the mistake I mentioned. I say self INFLICTED.
@@ImLegend1022 Agree. Lakers also picked Julius Randle with the 7th pick in 2014 and blew out his knee in the first game. Denver picked Jokic in the 2nd round.
mitch and jim didn't make the lakers draft lonzo over fox and tatum, they didn't make the lakers pick to pay THT over Caruso. they didn't make the lakers send out kuz and kcp and draft picks for Russ. don't get me wrong jim and mitch really screwed up those final years but they can't be blamed for everything that happened after that 2020 title
Reliving this hurts! As soon as they picked D’Antoni over Phil I knew it was over. Phil knew how to rein Kobe in, but D’Antoni had him late in the season playing 45-48 minutes.
i remember playing NBA 2K13 where Kobe and Dwight were teammates just like in reality in 2012 along with Steve Nash there it was Dwight Howard first day with the Lakers he so happy too see his idol and teammates Kobe 😊
Hell no like fr hell no 👎🏽 him and Nash is who I blame for Kobe getting hurt Nash literally laying on the sidelines and Dwight playing like ass talking about oh I'm hurt so... Kobe being Kobe had to go ham for LA just to make playoffs he promised he would get them there and he did for those clowns to get swept and Dwight keep yelling oh I'm hurt well how you gonna say that when you playing with a guy that beat you when you were healthy on literally half a body
💯 sign this dude NOW! The Jokic stopper! Back issues are different.. They’re the f’n worst! Dwight bodying up Joker was the last player to get him out of his game. DEN barely beat them so with Dwight in the squad I guarantee the Lakers win.. Even if he hasn’t played in the NBA for years it doesn’t take much to body someone up when ur stronger. He’s been playing overseas so his conditioning will be there..
As a grizzlies fan it absolutely breaks my heart that we didn't see value in Dwight. the man is a HOFer for a reason! Hope he doesnt look at Memphis - the city in a negative light. your always welcome here Dwight.
Didn’t the Grizzlies traded for D-12 only to the agreement to release him to find another team to play for several years prior? I just can’t see him as a Grizzly.
You missed this entire interview didn’t you? Dwight said his agent lied and said it wasn’t an offer after the Lakers did give him an offer. Do your research champ 👍🏾
@@ColdJelly19 I did listen to the interview gtfoh! Im talking about Caruso, KCP, Kuzma, and others not just Dwight. Those guys should've been resigned. Instead Pelinka let them go to other teams for more money. JaVale McGee should've been resigned as well. Now you do your research champ!👍🏾
@@jonathanchan1365 nobody is arguing about the word research. The problem is the accusation of not doing any research when I know exactly what I'm talking about.
A WHOLE LOT of revisionist history going on in this interview. DH was mad about Kobe and lakers when he left. This was nothing but DH trying to cover up what really happened on his exit.
dwight didn't get a fair shot his first run in LA he deserved better im glad he got a ring in 2020 with us if dwight can truly still play lakers should bring him in
Damn Jim Buss smoked the easiest layups. Phil was ideal, but Mike D was an obvious misfit with all the players, especially their ages, with his style of play. Steve nash was the oldest guy on the roster. He could have picked a better coach with a better fit for the roster that he constructed.
7:55 time stamp.... *WHY?* would D12 sit here and lie through his teeth when we have FOOTAGE!!!! I watched the game live. As he walked out I read his lips. He barked at Mitch Kupcheck, "You need to fix this ISH!!!" And Mitch looked ahead and said nothing.
Dwight didn’t like being held accountable by Kobe. He’s a playful guy who likes to joke around and that culture of championship or bust was too much pressure
There’s prolly some truth in that but that squad was never winning a championship lmao. That team was OLD. You had both 40yr old Nash and Dwight with back problems, 37 year old Antwan Jamison, Metta world peace who’s game and athleticism fell off a cliff between the 2010 ring and 2012. All they had was a still great but aging Kobe. Remember they got swept in 2011 as reigning champs and then lost to OKC the next year. Look at that roster and tell me those lakers were gonna win anything with that team 😂
@@patitoduck123 Who swept the Lakers in 2011 ??? I didn't watch that finals in 2011,gonna go watch it on youtube tho. Gonna also watch that series against OKC.
Bcoz dwight is a clown never get serious in his own career he couldve been one of the greatest centers in history but no he wants to goof around play a lot act stupid and childish he only got serious by the end of his nba career thats why kobe didnt like him.
Not serious? Ur kidding right? How many times has he won defensive player of the year? Hes more serious than most. You're just confused that he has a flamboyant personality and see it as a weakness.
Dwight can still give Lakers a good 15 mpg. Just tell him not to be grabbing teammates junk. Bring him & Javale both back to give AD help on the boards & rim protection.
That intro was not even truth… He talks about himself being on the Lakers all the time…. He have mentioned it on his pod numerous of times n Dwight only had his pod for a hot second… lol 😂
Kobe lost himself in his," Michael Jordan" lifelong infatuation with MJ. It was an addiction to Jordan. So bad that he refused to treat his parents like parents. That mom was greedy they say...but a lot of moms make mistakes. He shouldn't have taken such a hard line with his parents. You have to honor thy mother and thy father. You have to. They had a hand in kobe's development, his path, his opportunity, his growth, feeding him, roof over his head. Don't tell me Kobe's parents didn't deserve better from him. That A- hole mentality to your parents is Off Limits.
Dwight Dwight Dwight.... excuses excuses excuses. Everything is its not my fault. I really wanted to be there. I regret leaving. My back my back. My shoulder and I just needed time. When you want something so bad nothing else matters. Your actions will show you how badly you want something. Not because a coach wasn't there or money or scary injury. If you wanted to be in LA then you would have said I'm here this is me I'm not leaving. I'm doing whatever it takes to play here. Obviously he didn't want it that bad because if he did he would have went out bleeding purple and gold and popped every tendon in his body to play staples. Kobe was right Dwight is soft and has no conviction. He's consistently thinking of the easiest way through and not the tough but best way through.
Kobe didn't like him, because he uses alot of excuses. Things happen in life, it's how you respond to it. They way you choose to respond, will either make Kobe like you or dislike you. Play victim, or be a soldier. It was your choice Dwight.

I feel like this is what podcasts are for, to let everybody know details about certain situations
kobe is a hater thats why he's out of conversation for a goat tittle
Bro can the lakers sign Dwight Howard already let’s b real we need him
I don't get it😮

Don't need him now

Won't win without him.they have to see jokic.

The Lakers need Dwight right now for Anthony Davis to flourish
Everyone knows this except the front office.
Why? They already got Bronny the goat.
I liked it when Lakers had MGee and Howard
@@bricitoLmaoo it’s baffling !! Can scoop Dwight & Boogie
lebron is the one holding him back
Salute to Dwight for being transparent. The Lakers our truly the pinnacle of the league. Hey, let him go out as a Laker. Third times a charm!!!💯💜💛🏁
He already came back for a 3rd run and he sucked.
Crazy how D Howard isn’t in the league.
D Howard sounds crazy because of his history lol
Only cuz he gay that’s why
@@visionaryentertainment3916that and the rape allegations with that Trans guy. Nba doesn't want to deal with it.
its politics but he def good enough
You want to be in a locker room with that?!
Lakers run it back with DH this year!
Jeanie is a good listener for real
Ironic since she's the "guest" 😂
Dwight talking like he about to cry 😢
Looks like he has eyelash extensions as well. lol
Give this man a year we might get it again
i remember playing NBA 2K13 where Kobe and Dwight were teammates just like in reality in 2012 along with Steve Nash there it was Dwight Howard first day with the Lakers he so happy too see his idol and teammates Kobe 😊
Imagine ypur idol tells you that you are soft
Imagine telling your idol that you wanna be the focal point of the offense?? Especially when you have ZERO post moves! 😂
Glad he came back for the redemption. Won us that 17th
His voice changed while talking about playing with Kobe & Phil coaching
Probably regret on not being able to not take anything Kobe said to him in the heat of the moments during practice and games, personally.
Jim Buss really did try to sabotage the Lakers 😂
He was the og Bronny.
@@onlydbrasko they got a title with bronny though
Get D12 back here in Orlando so he can get the proper send off. The man deserves it and we would love him to be on the magic.
signing dwight would be huge for LA at this point
is it me or did this interview seem to be more about Dwight talking about Dwight than Jeanie saying much of anything??
GET THIS MAN BACK IN LA
That’s Bronny’s spot !!!😂
No!! He’s trash
Hell no like fr hell no 👎🏽 him and Nash is who I blame for Kobe getting hurt Nash literally laying on the sidelines and Dwight playing like ass talking about oh I'm hurt so...

And hurt your back and have a torn labrum. Go do it now and come back and tell me how that goes since u on a dude’s channel trying to bash him
Fck no
💯 sign this dude NOW! The Jokic stopper!
Back issues are different.. They’re the f’n worst!
Dwight bodying up Joker was the last player to get him out of his game. DEN barely beat them so with Dwight in the squad I guarantee the Lakers win.. Even if he hasn’t played in the NBA for years it doesn’t take much to body someone up when ur stronger. He’s been playing overseas so his conditioning will be there..
Dwight needs to be back as a Laker!! We need that extra big just in case fragile AD gets hurt!!
Kobe could have won multiple championships with phil coaching and cp3 trade not vetoed
So damn tragic
As a grizzlies fan it absolutely breaks my heart that we didn't see value in Dwight. the man is a HOFer for a reason! Hope he doesnt look at Memphis - the city in a negative light. your always welcome here Dwight.
Didn’t the Grizzlies traded for D-12 only to the agreement to release him to find another team to play for several years prior?
I just can’t see him as a Grizzly.
Lakers getting Mike Dantony was the beginning of the end for Kobe’s Career
Who's interviewing who?
That part
Keith Sweat!!!!! There you go telling me no again.
Its Still Hard not to Think about Dennis Rodman, and Jeanie Buss Knockin' Boots!!!😆🤔lol
4:50 So Johnny wet all in on a 40yr old instead of building with the young center? Yikes!
Nash was done at this point too. I was shocked by this statement lol
@@mr.j410lol yeah. Nash got hurt the second game of that season
This is dope and surprising that they have this type of relationship
Pelinka fucked up and broke up that team being cheap and not wanting to pay anyone smh

If Dwight just realised it was Kobe’s team and embraced that, it could have worked a bit better. Ego’s. It was always going to be Kobe’s team.
Dating Phil Jackson from ages 38 to 55, while he was 54 to 71…17 yrs is wild
Who cares she is an adult
The part when he talks about Kobe hating him is the best.
U still a real one D12 - respect what you've done for the game, def misunderstood and should be top 75 all time no doubt.
What exactly makes him real??
This interview is huge how many ex players can get an owner to do a interview.
Jeanie Buss is 63 years old.
Fine wine. Probably some good surgeons too 😂😍
You can see she looks over 50
.I don't care about all her surgeries
@@Boogiesincedamn go ones lol, but she is fine asf
@@Boogiesinceobviously plastic surgery....
Dwight can be 60 years old and probably will look the same,, get this man back in the league,,,
Shorty looks 35 LOL
Why he so soft spoken now that he talking to her?😂
She is gorgeous.
I’d do the unthinkable to her… all 0:28 seconds
She got the snappy nappy dugout if you look at her playboy spread 😂… matter of fact let me go revisit this ✊🏾
@@asayles23 not all hero’s wear capes… just busted
Dwight was solid during the bubble' playoffs
i hope your YT grow.
How Kobe couldn't win with Dwight is a complete mystery to me, and very damning for his legacy.
JB: you were probably getting pulled a lot of different ways…
D:G I was.
👀
Back then he should have joined forces with dirk. Dirk and dwight would have won multiple chips. And he would have been viewed differently today.
Pause ⏸️ getting that much taking out your back is wild

A WHOLE LOT of revisionist history going on in this interview. DH was mad about Kobe and lakers when he left. This was nothing but DH trying to cover up what really happened on his exit.
*Traditional sports media is a monster* because I remember in real time how horrible of a teammate they made him out to be…really nasty work!
Crazy coaching decision for that squad. Phil would’ve coached that team to another championship and Kobe would’ve gotten injured
Man look at this guy
tears!
It’s all for giving bro, we got a chip. But it would have been nice to see that Kobe and Howard reck the NBA..
Didn't know javaris crittenton was out. Good for that brotha to get his life back on track
He should still be in jail
Jail keep him
Dwight just a lil freaky
😂😂
dwight didn't get a fair shot his first run in LA he deserved better im glad he got a ring in 2020 with us
if dwight can truly still play lakers should bring him in
What kind of man styles his hair like that - c'mon Dwight.....
Cam Newton approves
I do agree lol 😂
There have been all kinds of warriors across history who have styled their hair in this type of style
Why you being zesty hating on another man’s hair?
Lmao it’s a man bun with braids .. I’ve seen a lot of mean wear man buns bud
Damn Jim Buss smoked the easiest layups. Phil was ideal, but Mike D was an obvious misfit with all the players, especially their ages, with his style of play. Steve nash was the oldest guy on the roster. He could have picked a better coach with a better fit for the roster that he constructed.
Dwight was a tank back in the days
get him back to Lakeshow
I’m still pissed about Mike D’antoni being hired. We could have won if they hired Phil.

Hes more serious than most. You're just confused that he has a flamboyant personality and see it as a weakness.
My back My back my neck and my back 😢
She dated Phil Jackson?? Had no idea
Yeah,they dated for several years,Phil went for a-HIGH-quality,wealthy woman and i salute him for that.
So they sabotaged Kobe
you know I totally forgot Jenie was messing with Phil back then
His coming back ?
Dwight can still give Lakers a good 15 mpg. Just tell him not to be grabbing teammates junk. Bring him & Javale both back to give AD help on the boards & rim protection.
It should have worked with Howard. He shouldn't have played so earlier. He should've waited until he was fully healthy to play.

dwight wasnt ready for the lakers journey, HE WAS NOT BUILT MENTALLY!
Yes they need him to help Anthony Davis
Dwight is such a cornball....😆😆
Still would.
Not sure Kobe was even mentioned other than his Achilles? Clickbait much😮
Dwight was him for a few years
We knew that though
Kobe Killed Shaq and Dwight. Then Shaq killed Dwight again
When does Shaq not kill Dwight? 😂
Dwight needed to sit out that first Laker year. Period
Bro we do need him. He gives Joker fits

Fast turnover in this leagues for most guys.
Biggest mistake to leave orlando Dwight was hurt and the lakers forced him to play hurt he needed to get the surgery and take atleast a year off
Kobe didn't like him, because he uses alot of excuses.
Things happen in life, it's how you respond to it.
They way you choose to respond, will either make Kobe like you or dislike you.
Play victim, or be a soldier. It was your choice Dwight.
