I was surfin' the net cause I'm bored, and I came across some dumbass shit that George Karl said. I only take this sports shit so seriously because it's a release from the real world, and honestly, I have enough shit to worry about in real life. I like piling more shit up, and I need something else to worry about. SOOOOO

"Karl watched Bryant against Portland last Friday. “The one game, that was an incredible performance,” Karl said. Bryant scored 24 of his 65 points in the fourth quarter, made a 3-pointer to send the game into overtime, then hit a decisive twisting 3-pointer from the corner to win it. Bryant finished 23 of 39 from the field, including 8 of 12 on 3-pointers.

 

“It was like a Fellini moment,” Karl said. “Like — how are those shots going in? It’s not real. It’s a dream.”

 

Karl admitted that Federico Fellini, the Italian film director, “messed my mind up a lot in college.”

 

But Karl said Bryant’s accomplishment, one season after he scored 81 points in a game, put him in a realm that was not necessarily beneficial to the game. “I don’t think 65 is good for basketball,” Karl said."

Hey George, call me when you win something. LOLZ

Seriously though, the guy needs to worry about his own team. If my team was in such a shitty state that the Nuggets are currently in, I know I wouldn't be watching the Lakers play the Blazers. But then again, that's why he's George Karl, and that's why he hasn't won shit. And apparently, never will with that attitude.

And one last thing...

You may notice on the highlights of Friday night's game (against the Hornets) how Bryant high-fived a young boy midway through the third a quarter after hitting a sick 3-pointer from the left side with a defender draped all over him.

 

I asked Kobe: Why the high-five?

 

"It was a little kid, and he had said 'What's up,' and I said 'What's up back.' And I told him: 'Watch this 3. I've got a 3 for you.' "

Cool shit. The game was in New Orleans, and I think that was the only time that I haven't seen an arena full when the Lakers take their show on the road. I think the city needs to take care of other business before bringing basketball back. Just my opinion.

Oh yeah, Kobe scored 50 again tonight. He and Wilt stand together as the only players to score 50 in 4 straight games. You can say what you want about Jordan, but I haven't seen a player this dominant in my entire life. Except for Shaq, but his game wasn't perfect. I honestly can't say that there's something basketball related (saving potential rape joke) that Kobe could be better at. His game is perfect. Sadly though, I don't know how much longer he'll be able to go before his knees start giving out on him. It seems like he loses more and more hop as the games go by.

But maybe I'm just so used to watching him that I expect too much. Well, I do, but he hasn't failed to meet my expectations yet.
