i am surprised that kenny smith and charles barkley even give that
dallas owner businessman the time or energy
they are giving him what he wants
their tnt show is the best in professional basketball
funny and insightful
and honest

i hate to give credit to a non laker
let's call it a kobe imitation
but that spinning 540 degree back to the basket shot that dwyane wade
made against the nets on monday night
was a piece of monumental art
kids all over america were trying to do it on tuesday morning

ya know, sometimes when the rhythm section (role players) are laying
down the deep groove and structure
the soloists (kobe, d wade) need to get far out into the cosmos
for a victorious walk on higher ground

as is with jazz music
basketball, being america's greatest export
is the finest example of what is great about a democracy
people working together within a structure to accomplish something
but free to express their individual character as they like
to improvise on a theme

another beautiful laker victory tonight in atlanta
it was one of those absurd nights where my schedule forbid me from
watching the game
i heard kobe sprained his wrist enroute to 37 points...
hope that wrist is o.k.

go lakers go lakers go lakers
