It's just B-ball, man.
Not important. Just fun. I like it, but it don't matter, to me.
All good.

Skully got that right . . . Kobe is still a punk. Funny how the punks seem to get what they want in this world.

Yeah Pate . . . Gastool has got to be one of the most over rated "big men" that ever was . . . without Cryant he would be totally anonymous. In Hollywood it is all about the illusion.

Wow, the Celtics made the Lakers work, I loved it, it was no give me game.
Anyone watching the LA hooligans trying to wreak havoc around town? the police really have their hands full. Sad commentary on our society around here.

Ya without Perkins, there was little chance but C's scrapped still.
My Transmogrification: From Ultimate Lakers Fanboi to seriously not.
Man, I was such a huge fan of the lakers. I watched Kareem shoot a hook shot through mini binoculars at the FORUM (staples center, cough cough). I was probably 7 or 8 years old. That's a strong childhood memory. That same day I got the autographs of Dan Ford, Kurt Rambis (waaaaaay back when he rode the pine), and some other random Laker.
I had posters of all the Laker stars and perfected my James Worthy finger roll against all the fools in high school. I was such a fanboi of Worthy that I even imitated his autograph (on the poster). Still sign checks a la Big Game James...
Don't get me wrong, I hearted 'Nique and Bernard King, Clyde the Glyde and all the "superstars" of the 80s (except Celtics), but the lakers were IT! Showtime!
I despised the Celtics. When I played my brother on Julius Erving and Larry Bird Go One-on-One (Apple IIe) I never, ever let him play Dr. J. He usually drained 3 pointers and fadeaways all night, kinda the real Bird.
I had the bitchin' purple/gold Converse which coach wouldn't let me wear (Team colors were orange/black) but I still donned at home and in pickup games.
After Magic beat the Celts with that epic hook shot, I put that in my arsenal. My E shot in horse is still a hook from the top of the key. It's a killer...I still say "Majic!"
Like I linked earlier, Red Hot Chili Peps "MJ" was on repeat on my cassette player. That and Kurtis Blow's "Basketball". I hated Ainge and gave DJ-Dennis Johnson-a grudging respect. He always seemed to hit the crucial 17 footer from just beyond the L that I practiced to mastery.
Things started changing when the Lakers traded Shaq. I'd always liked the Diesel...I've even seen all of Kazaam. I couldn't believe the Heat won the title that one year.
...after http://www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots/kobebryant1.html Kobe black mambaed http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=black+mamba (NSFW)that girl in CO, I just really didn't like the Lakers.
Edit: (1 out of 57 pages) http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0924041kobea19.html
I guess it's kind of like Cos, morals, values...I'm pretty tolerant in terms of all sorts of behavior but black mambaing is way over the line. Or sexual assault...whaever u wanna call it. Mebbe I'm just getting old. Perhaps the fact that Bryant has a daughter makes it slightly more egregious in my mind...or lawyer up with $$$ distorting justiz.
Buss seems pretty sleazy, too. Birds of a feather? U make the call...
I can never figure out why fans yelll "Kobe Sucks" when clearly, he is very good at basketball, like, the best. Why not yell something that might actually affect his game, get in his head...something like "Rape-ist....Rape-ist"....
Anyways, go whoevers playing the lakers...

Where, exactly, IS the Lake, anyway?
They ARE Lakers, right?
They moved from Minneapolis (Great Lakes).
Kind of like the Utah Jazz....(there's no jazz in utah)

There's no lake in LA, but the LA River is really special- when it's flowing.

I looked up 426's grade school photo and as I suspected, he is the kid from basketball jones! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIbp5C-5WXM
As far as the rest, there's on court and off court and it's important to separate the two. As a then Eagle county resident, who received a jury Summons for the anticipated Kobe circus, that Black Mamba thing was no slam dunk. there is a reason they dropped the charges, and a reason that law enforcement was not compelled to follow up on it. This was not a full Ike turner situation...
Trivia question, what Gonzo jounralist was in the next ER to Kobe? for extra points what Taco has also been cut on by the same team?
Man, that Artest video is embarrassing! But I did like how one of the first people he thanked was his shrink!
Q; Why did Ron Artest leave the game early?

Whatever...congrats to the Lakers and their fans.
I saw some great Dead shows at the Forum~ I can still see those banners and jerseys, swirling, melting.
