"Yeah I'm up in the best class...you can't last..."
Freeway - Don't Act Like You Don't Know
The NBA season is very young, and it will be a few months before things start to take shape...however I firmly believe that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Rage against the machine
The Miami Heat, Rajon Rondo, Blake Griffin, Kevin Garnett, and NBA 2K11 have attracted headlines and highlights near and far, nevertheless it's the Los Angeles Lakers that have been flying under the radar with the league's best record at 7-0.
On opening night, a friend of mine tweeted that he didn't see the passion and fire in Kobe's eyes, and that the Lakers reign will come to an end this year. I sent a friendly response to disagree with him, and set the record straight. I've known Kobe Bean for several years, and he is one of the most competitive persons I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The team's mission is to win the NBA Championship, and it's Bryant that sets the tone.
Last Saturday my friend Vic, a writer for the Associated Press, texted me saying "I told Kobe that you said what's up..." My response was: "Kobe is family, and thank you...what did you say?" At which Vic responded, "I saw him right before the media crowded around, and I said hey Kobe, Anthony Gilbert says what's up...he smiled and said that's what's up!"
It's been a while since I've seen him, so thank you Vic for playing the messenger, and to Kobe...I'll see you next month...in the meantime...keep up the good work, and I'll be sure to support.
