The Credits: "Senna"

An unrivaled passion for the sport. A quick temper. Always on the edge, and often times over it. Maddening displays of stubbornness. Doing things nobody else could dream of. A talent, the likes of which has never been the seen before, and never to be seen again. I see so many parallels between Kobe Bryant and Formula One Racing's greatest driver in history, Ayrton Senna. Wherever they went, controversy followed. Characters that transcend the sport. Feats of success which lead you to shake your head and question their sanity. Something i realized when watching Senna was that legends are far from perfect. The flaws make them interesting, and get us talking. Our imaginations are on fire whenever their names are mentioned. Tragically, Senna was taken away right in his prime. Luckily for Kobe fans, we've been able to watch him play at the highest level for 16 seasons and counting. Here's to the legends of their sport, flawed and all, we adore them.

Blake is out three to four weeks.
I guess Morris will really get some burn now. That sucks for Blake because he seemed to really start warming up and becoming the pg we all know he can be.
I don't consider myself a hoarder just a person who loves to save things
WOW
Never thought I’d see a recognition of Ayrton on NBA site. What a pleasant surprise for a Formula One (and McLaren to boot) fan!
Now, on to the reading =^__^=

Yup
He’ll probably have trouble breathing if he works out.

So the reason McBobs didn't go back in was because Brown didn't know he was ready to play again?
That seems kind of odd. I mean, it sounds like a breakdown in communication within the coaching staff. This stuff just shouldn’t happen IMO.
“I thought his toe was acting up again, but apparantly the tape job wasn’t good,” Lakers Coach Mike Brown said. "They retaped it and he was ready to play. But I did not know that … “It happens sometimes. Somebody might have told one of the assistants or somebody told me but I didn’t hear. He was available. I just did not realize he was avaialble.”
"These are young men with too much money and too much fame for something as relatively inconsequential as sports, but this is entertainment." --Phil Jackson
Like he said, it happens. It didn't hurt us.

I've Been saying this, but people thought I was crazy
Sources briefed on New Jersey’s thinking say that there’s only one such scenario.
If Howard is traded to the Lakers before the deadline, sources say New Jersey would then be forced to explore its D-Will trade options, knowing that Williams would be a virtual lock to leave come July. If Orlando keeps Howard or deals him anywhere else but L.A. or Dallas before the deadline, thus keeping alive its dream of pairing the two in Brooklyn next fall, New Jersey will wait.
Work a three team trade that gets Jersey some solid pieces like we did for NOH to replace what they gave up to get D-Will and we might have a deal.
AMMO carried the Lakers to back-2-back titles and we couldn't even get LEWIS MONROE for him...
Celtics Lose again, Heat lose again, Lakers win again
Kobe scores 40+ points again… what a night…..
Kobe’s really trying to pass Shaq and reach Jordan, isn’t he?!? lol
