    LOL! Props to GK though for getting away with it even if it was not on purpose...not that I condone such things.

    Just wanted to say that I'm back.

    Took 8 days off from posting on LB, then began posting in Other Sports.
    Now 24 days after KB's last game, I'm back.

    8.
    24.

    True fan. :Blink:

    Come to LA and recreate it Gordon :)

    What an awesome night. Utah got Kobe'd one last time. I'm glad it wasn't just the kids who felt it, but the opponents too. And the whole "they let him do it" argument can be put to rest. They didn't let him do anything they were just caught up in the moment like the rest of us. That's been something Kobe had been able to do for 20 years.

    I appreciate that Gordon tried to get a lane violation on Kobe's last free throw just in case he missed the shot for 60. I'm sure he'll never admit it but it was pretty obvious.

    I noticed that too, he clearly did it on purpose. Same with the game against Indiana on the day Kobe announced his retirement. Kobe had two chances at the go ahead basket and Paul George didn't put a hand up to challenge him.

    Careful kid, the Mamba may be old and retired but the striking prowess and distance is still there in the spirit.

    If he's wired like his Dad, the training session offer will be short. I hope he makes the most of that offer.

    24 Retired wouldn't want it any other way... I reckon his father is good with it. Footwork instead of large pizzas. For all their rocky relationship together, it is good to see they seem to have mended their fences.

    How many kids is that working out with Kobe this summer? He might as well hold a seminar.

    Been looking for Kobe's interview with Ahmad last year. It was like right after his shoulder surgery. Only been able to find five minute clips of it. Anyone know where I can find it?
