Jerry West embarassed by Lakers

[$tunna]

Jerry West, in an interview on The Dan Patrick Show, said he was embarrassed by the unsportsmanlike way in which the Lakers lost to the Mavericks in Game 4.

“When I watched the Lakers play they looked dispirited. Some of the things that I saw out there, really frankly, were pretty classless. The Lakers have won with class and they’ve lost with class and [Sunday], as someone who worked there and is pretty proud of my years with the Lakers, I was a little bit embarrassed — not with the loss, but some of the things I saw on the floor which I thought were really just not something that a person that wears a Laker uniform should do.”

West was asked what the Lakers need to do to get back into contention and he summed it up succinctly:

“First of all they need athletes. This is the least athletic Laker team as I’ve seen in a long time. … I think [Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum] have to be used differently. Putting Pau Gasol and having him guard Dirk Nowitzki, there was no way that was going to happen. There’s just no way.”

Well, Artest's incident wasn't intentional, but he sure ought to be embarrassed by both Bynum and the lack of passion from everybody but Kobe.

Dude, ROFL at the band in the bottom half of your signature. Their singer looks like a neanderthal. Are all five of those guys trying to look incredibly horrible? LOLposthardcore. Christ, back when Poison the Well was popular, post hardcore wasn't so pathetically feminine.

And I'm not attacking you personally. Just laughing at that band.
