It’s game six versus the Lakers and the Thunder tonight. I’ll be rooting for the Thunder but not because I have any loyalty to my home state. No, it’s because Kobe really, really bugs me and, as a result, I have grown to loathe the Lakers. It’s extreme. In fact, I’d root for a team made up of Hitler, Satan, a parking enforcement employee, Xerxes from 300 and the guy who stole my lunch in preschool if they were playing the Lakers.
It’s annoying how into the NBA Playoffs I get when I could care less about the regular season and the NBA as a whole, for that matter. I stopped caring about the NBA the day after Game six of the 1998 Finals when Jordan sank the game winning shot, the last one he’d take in a Bulls uniform. Then the Spurs started their reign, along with, ugh, Kobe.
It’s reassuring to know that Kobe is starting to show signs of age. He’s actually played more minutes than Jordan ever did in a Bulls uniform, remarkable since he’s only 31. It’s really only a matter of time before Kobe starts losing and LeBron actually wins a ring. Remember, kids: Every time Kobe scores, God kills a puppy.
