We’re of two minds about going to Lakers message boards.
On the one hand, you can go there and be fully assaulted for posting a simple message like “Kobe Bryant missed a shot once”.
The other hand is thus: boards like Lakersground.net are invaluable resources of Kobe and/or Laker news. Somehow these people know what Kobe has for breakfast before the man himself wakes up in the morning.
Anyway, apparently #24 was on Dan Patrick’s radio show yesterday, and as usual, one of the obsessives enthusiastic fans at ClubLakers.com typed out a transcript of what went down.
There’s some mildly interesting and harmless stuff in there, although that doesn’t stop the Laker fans from nearly threatening death upon Dan Patrick for…nothing, basically. Alas, some snippets.
Dan: Who were you sideing with in the fued with Donovon & T.O.?
Kobe: I stay away from that i don’t know, but it sucks that TO is not there, but im a Eagles fanDan: Was that tough for you to see T.O. leave to the hated Cowboys?
Kobe: T.O. is one of my good friends and he’s a Cowboy now, it sucks wish he was here.Dan: How do you look at this Laker team this year than last?
Kobe: This year we got the players we needed, the key players, like Maurice Evans, Vlad. We got the players we needed to sorround us. Alot of people wanted that big blockbuster trade………Dan: You mean the Keven Garnett?
Kobe: Alot of that rumors were all over LA that we were gonna land KG in a big deal, but those rumors were all over the internet and at supermarkets.
As most of you know by now, we found ourselves residents of Team Kobe sometime around the middle of last season. This after years as members of Team Not Kobe.
That said, we do need to take him to task on this whole “everyone at the grocery store was talking about KG” thing. It’s simply not true. Granted, 95% of the people at our local market don’t speak English, but only once did we hear Jose and Rico going “habla habla habla Kay-Gee habla habla. Ko-Bee habla!”
Also touched on in there is the fact that we were right (again), and Kobe’s “Team USA chemistry” comments were taken completely out of context.
Other than that, the only thing of note was Kobe’s friendship with T.O., just because. (And we say it like that only because we don’t even know what’s weird about it. It’s just not something we never thought about.)
Now, on to important business. Word on the street is there’s at least one new pro basketball preview on the stands (Lindy’s), which means it’s our favorite time of the year: the week we spend a bunch of money on overpriced magazines we never get around to actually reading.
