08:22 AM ET 10.08 | The Lakers willl return from their European vocation winless. The Lakers went 0-for-Europe after a miserable shooting night in a 92-88 exhibition loss Thursday to FC Barcelona. Kobe Bryant played almost 25 minutes but didn't look sharp, making two of 15 shots and scoring 15 points, almost all of them at the free-throw line. The minutes Bryant played conveyed an incrementally improving right knee, but his usual efficiency wasn't there yet. "He's not ready to play," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said. "He's going out there to help the goodwill and to show the fans his presence on the floor and support his teammates."

Why is this a story? He only played because the people in Europe wanted to see him...Thats what happens when you are the biggest NBA star in the game , with the number one selling jersey in the US and Overseas ..He will be fine!

Lost you need to chill out on D Wade and his pulled hamstring. Worry about what NY is doing.

Yes we got one. We started Sessions (Mo has a strained groin), Parker, Jamison, Graham, and Hollins (AV out-family death). Lost yesterday though, but it's preseason, so I'm not looking to deep into it.

Another fannation topic to elicit responses...

Obviously, exhibition games mean zero to veteran players.

You right about that he prolly has a poster taped to his ceiling. That is why he wakes up in a bad mood every morning, and bashes LBJ and the Miami squad. On threads that have to do with them and especially the threads that dont, he always reflects like it Lebrons fault a conspiracy of sorts and tries to make everything seem like a domino effect. LBJ doesnt rule the league everyone knows that. Sure it was distasteful to do the decison w/o letting the Cavs ppl know, but no one knows that for a fact I'm sure he didnt sugar them up to make them think he was gonna come back if that was the case he would have signed an extention they did offer the most moola. He will write a book down the line and tell his side of the story Lost stay tuned.

Lebron doesn't speak good English. If you listen to him you can tell he misses his tenses. This means he can't possibly read so writing will be too much for him. I won't bank on it. I mean who will read a liar's book anyway it's like going to a snake's house to drink snake soup. The snake is immune to his own poison but ur not. Good luck with that book.
