I had to work late last night and was listening to League Pass radio. I shut it off and went home with the Lakers down 4 with about 20 seconds to play or something.

Silly me.

and what a game. Staples was rocking hard after that shot. No one was immediately leaving the seats and every was going nuts. There were actually a few people that left before Fish’s 3, suckers. I swore the place was jumping more than it did after Ariza’s steal in the WCF game 1.

It was a weird game. Everyone was expecting a Kobe Wade showdown but the first half and especially the first quarter didn’t live up to the billing. 4th quarter made up for it big time. Best game of the year by far.

When I was driving home I was listening to post game talk on 710 and they said that this was no doubt one of Kobe’s top 10 shots. Now I know Kobe has hit many many many clutch shots but has he ever really had a buzzer beater in a key playoff game? I don’t think so. With all the glorious Kobe shots he is still missing THE SHOT. Jordan has Elo, Magic has the mini sky hook, Kareem has every sky hook he ever took, Horry has WCF game 6, Fish has .4 and game 4 last year. Kobe doesn’t have that, he does have a ton of buzzer beaters and great regular season game ending shots along with two of the all time great games in NBA history along with a ton of clutch playoff games (I’m talking complete games, not just game winning shot). I realize I’m kind of rambling now but I hope at some point before Kobe’s career he gets that playoff shot.

Also, the whole Lamar O’neal thing kinda got pushed aside with the Kobe shot but screw O’neal trying to tea bag Lamar. Glad Lamar stood up to him, And another thing, why does Lamar always hurt our own players?

Well I’m going to meet Bynum at an autograph signing at Upper Deck today so I’ll let you guys know if anything cool happens there.

I remember being so happy thinking we had the series in the bag. Nice, you should have fun tomorrow night. Suns are doing a lot better this year.

As for the Knicks game, I wanted to go to the Knicks because I remembered it was a good game at Staples the year before, never seen the Knicks and figured you would want to get rid of the Knicks tickets haha. Anyways, I’m listening to 710 Espn and they have a thing were you can call in during a certain time and if you’re the 24th caller you get to go to this Kobe doin work release interview with him and Spike after the game. I never call in to the radio but I’m thinking I should try once since I’m going to the game already. The cue to call happens the next day when I’m driving to work so I call and bam, I win. So anyways, long story short, after the Knicks game, me and about 75 or so other people get to go into the screening room at Espn Zone and listen to this interview while Kobe and Spike are all but maybe 20 feet away. Anyways, I thought it was pretty cool and definitely made the Knicks game cool.

Have fun tomorrow…GO LAKERS

Since you explained the “movie reference” aspect of your titles I crack up each time. “I am Legend”……classic.
