Was working the car show last 3 days at the Convention Center and finally got to see Kobe’s and Kobe and Gianna’s statues for the first time today. They’re really great. Wasn’t initially thinking with the angel wings that I’d like those but they’re not attached to them …. they’re kind of an alcove surrounding them and their faces look great. His number 1 pointing with his arm raised too right in front is awesome. there’s quite a distance between them with the Kobe and Gianna statue aways off approaching that area where the VIP entrance is. A lot of room still for a Luka statue eventually.
Time to start attacking the closeout off the dribble. Kind of out of control on some drives but he's got a few really pretty midrange pullups. Next step for him will to be use that or drive and kick to exploit teams like Orlando closing out hard on him
Another nice offensive night from Knecht. I'd seriously consider keeping him with the starters and bringing Rui off the bench.
