This is more like an All-Star Weekend media day than Lakers lol, Nash, then Kobe, now Dwight, one All-Star after another.

I love the Dwight

Yep. Didn't Mike Brown coach the East All Stars during his Cleveland days also

Pau and Jamison have also been All-Stars, not sure if they'll be interviewed soon or what.

kobe knows how much more efficient he can be with a player like nash.

no more having to go "one on one". no more running into double/triple teams. breaking guys like battier/sefolosha off the ball with screens from pau and dwight. no forcing shots. easy buckets. and not having to expend energy trying to create for others.

the thing i like most about nash, is that it keeps the mamba fresh.

This is too good to be true, still feels like a dream.

Other fans and teams must be crapping their pants

Kobe sounds so happy in his interview. Seem to be very excited for what's about to happen. Who wouldn't be though?

I believe Nash has always been listed at 6'3, Kobe has said he's around 6'4, so that seems about right.

Kobe's always been listed at 6'6", so I just had that number in my head.

In that photo Nash looks about three inches shorter than Kobe. I don't see what the fuss is about.

Well personally I had always suspected that Nash was much closer to 6 foot than 6'3". Unless Kobe is actully 6'3" then Nash is closer to a legit 6'3". That's cool.

Bryant said "Thank god" to @LAIreland when Ireland recognized that Nash will have the ball more. There is not a conflict/story there.

Kobe told @LAIreland & @LAMase on @ESPNLA710 that his strongest argument recruiting @SteveNash was chance to add title to 2 MVP's/legacy.

Last season, @MettaWorldPeace came into camp at around 271 pounds. This season, he's at about 256. No body fat, 6-7, lookin' fierce.

Nash has a Conan O'Brien looking hairdo going on...

No fuss, I just always thought Nash was closer to 6-feet tall. Just an observation.

Last years Orlando media day reporter swarm vs this year's LA media day reporter swarm, think Dwight is noticing the difference:

poor Emplay lol
