    Great game between the C's & Clippers last night, feel bad for those who were stuck watching a Lakers game on ESPN instead of it.

    Bro he's 20 years in with more miles to this point than ANY player in NBA history. It's a miracle he's still standing right now. I'm torn about watching him now. On one hand it's obviously his last season, but I hate hate hate seeing him in this state.

    Yeah it's a weird situation honestly. I mean every game (home or away) you have a large portion of fans there to see him. Clearly he's a very long ways from his best so you get games on a regular basis like the last 2 where he shoots around 30% and is ice cold for most of the game but the fans go crazy and chant his name so it's almost like he has to try to do something lol.

    I've just kinda gotten to the point where I've accepted the fact he's gonna have lots of bad stretches this year and only a few glimpses every now and then of the previous Kobe. I guess it's a good thing the team is supposed to lose this year and play to keep their draft pick cuz if not it'd make this situation even more bizarre. Kobe's had to completely change everything he's ever done before, he can't show up the gym 3 hours early anymore and put in all that work cuz the body can't handle it and he'd get injured. He has to take it easy and basically do EVERYTHING different in terms of practice, preparation and during the game too. It's a completely different Kobe that's for sure, but I'm glad he's able to step back and appreciate the love fans and players are showing him.

    If anything this season has made me appreciate him more, which I didn't know was even possible. I stand by what I said last year that nobody in their 17th season will do what Kobe was able to do. Not gonna happen.

    @Kon and it's almost like he had to go out this way, guns blazing, still trying to be the man. Is there any better way to remember Bean than that?

    Anyone gonna watch the rising stars challenge? I mostly don't, but there's some players I like in there. Russell, Clarkson, Towns, Wiggins, Lavine, etc. Gonna be a fun game.

    Forgot why I hated All Star Weekend for a minute...

    So little effort being put forth on the defensive end that I can barely watch this.

    Yeah forget what I said, I already stopped watching. I knew there was almost no defense but the 5 minutes I watched there was actually NO defense..Players getting wide open dunks, 3's etc...The score was also like 28 23 5 mins in lol.

    I watched the first 5 minutes because they like to show out and do some cool stuff. It was nice seeing the players hit open shots, but really that gets old quick. I was done with it fairly quickly. The celebrity game was more entertaining to me

    Chuck: That's why I picked him to win
    Kenny: But you didn't know he had this in him.
    Chuck: What, you think I just guessed?
    Kenny: Yes, there's only 4 people you had a 25% chance.

    :'(


    Anyways this is the best dunk contest in a while..Jesus, are we going into a 2nd OT now? 50s again..
