Kobe Clutch

"And I'm sick of explaining this..."

Jay-Z - Streets Is Talking

The Lakers hosted the Raptors last night...the game was fairly average, that is until the 4th quarter.

March Madness

I had a long day on Tuesday, and part of that was because I couldn't sleep on Monday night...nevertheless at 10:30PM EST the only thing I wanted to do was unwind and watch the Lake Show. Everyone knows that the best players around the league bring out their best at the end to ensure a victory, and no one does that better than Kobe Bryant.

Prior to his shot with 1.9 seconds to go...he knocked down 6-game winning baskets this season, and with the score knotted at 107, after a Chris Bosh 3-pointer...Bryant wanted the ball and pressure to win the game in regulation. With a calm that comes from practice and confidence, he eluded two defenders and launched his seventh game winner from the right baseline.

Much has been made about the Lakers recent 3-game losing streak, however what matters is their 47-18 record and how they finish out the regular season.

Like I often write...it's not how you start...it's how you finish.
