Here are the rest of the pictures from the last two days. I've gotten every player but Kobe and Turner (I have a picture with Kwame but it's too dark and I don't like it so I'm going to re-do it tomorrow). I really hope I get Kobe tomorrow, he's a toughy, so we'll see. They're all starting to remember me, I'm the only fan ALWAYS there before and after practices/games. Also, these pictures should answer all of your questions about my height. No I'm not standing on a pedastool, no I'm not tippy-toeing, no they aren't bending down. Stop asking.

8) Kurt Rambis

9) Andre Patterson

10) Mo Mo

11) Mihm

12) Karl (Coby II)

13) Farmar

14) E. Brown

15) D-Fish

16) B. Shaw (that navigator is the car the coaches drive)

Interesting convo with Phil (as he was walking by me):
Me: Phil, can I get a picture?
Phil: No, I don't do pictures.
Me: So does that mean I won't get a single one of you on this trip?
Phil: Not unless you get an action shot.
Me: So no chances of getting lucky?
Phil: Luck is overrated.

Notes:

-Kareem refuses to take pictures with anyone (for free)

-Kobe drives in his own car to the games/practice, rest of the team goes in a bus

-Players are probably starting to think I'm crazy

Nice pictures. You should take me around. Haha.

I don´t like Kobe seperating himself from others...different hotel, driving in his own car while others go with the bus...stuff like that just doesn´t fit my mentality of a companionate member of a TEAM..

Man, Kobe is a real secluded dude. He needs to try and get over that, especially the whole driving himself to practice thing.

Man, your smile is pretty awesome! Lol.. no homo on that either, just looks cool. Like a half smile, half "grr" kind of thing.

Nice pictures. LOL @ Your conversation with Phil.

Is that Andre Patterson? He looks blazed out of his face.

Kobe is really smart with his exit strategies. I don't blame him, its pure madness when he steps outside near fans.

Awesome pics Jauno, I love your shirt, "You're Number Juan". mhihi

That convo with Phil was funny too, sounds like him alright. Also, not surprised Kobe drives his own car, hasn't he been doing that like forever? Not good for team chemistry IMO, but I don't think Kobe really cares about that much. Last night if you looked at his face he really didn't seem too enthusiastic about being there, on the bench he was shaking his head a lot and had a smirk on his face, and it didn't look like a good one. He was barely even watching the game or cheering for the young guys either, I looked for his reactions a lot. Could be cause it's a preseason game, could be because Lamar and Luke were out, I don't know, but I hope he starts caring when the first game of the season starts, and I think he will.

17) Jerry Buss

18) Phil's "Action Shot" #1 (blurry)

19) MAAAAMMMBBAAAA jam2

I got it!

Story behind Kobe's picture: As he was walking to his car, I basically asked him, amongst a group of about 10 people, for a picture. He said only one picture, and I jumped right next to him and my cousin took the shot, and everyone else was left picture/autograph-less. Sad, I know, even Kobe's bodyguard was saying "ONLY ONE ONLY ONE!" Just happy I got it.

What's left?

-A new picture with Kwame (or else I'll just upload my old crappy one)
-Larry Turner
-Better picture of Phil
-Maybe some more coaches or Kareem
-Autographs

That's awesome. Kobe actually put his arm around you, one of the very few to do so (I'm bored, I notice things). Diggin' his T-shirt, too.

That's awesome you finally got Kobe's.

Is Phil looking over at you? Looks like he's going to come over there and smack you with his cane.

And honestly...how many girls did Buss have with him?
