im dying to know what kobe and jkidd say to each other
about the deal that almost was

KB10, I like that.

Who knows, what could've happened if Kidd was traded here. Lets not start a whole argument in this thread though, lol.

It's so refreshing to watch Kobe play defense like this, considering we can't see it during the season because of the team.

I wanna see Ron Artest on Team USA

the halftime piece is the same as the one that NBA.com posted much earlier.. damn, ESPN can't even make their own features now?

Kobe and Melo doing a lot of one on one in the 1st quarter.... 2nd quarter was better with more ball movement.. I wish Kobe looked to drop off passes at the basket for an easy dunk.. it will make the game that much easier.. sometimes he just throws up junk there and thinks somebody will grab the rebound.. LeBron is very good in this part of the game. He is always looking for the easy basket.

Defense is better.

Whats up with Ayuso trying to be the tough guy?

Bill Walton mentioning the Philippines! (and not hating)

He's a thug.

i like that the ref's let them play more than i am used to....


but people are picking up their pivot foot
WAAAYYYY too much

Wow the whole arena is chanting Kobe Kobe Kobe

Kobe's not even giving Ayuso breathing room. You can tell Ayuso's getting real frustrated.

Melo make your freebies!

3-6

You think Kobe will return?

Melo's a career 80% ft shooter.

I doubt he would get injured, because as William Walton would say, his "physical fitness level" is through the roof. You never know, though.

Kobe will come back at the start of the 4th. Thats how the rotations have been. Melo and Kobe go out at about the 5 min mark of the 1st and 3rd qtrs, then come back at the start of 4th or around there.

wow... with all of his length, Prince still got blocked on that one...
