AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
that was the absolute best game EVER!!!
lakers down, 40-20 in the first quarter, and then stage the GREATEST comeback of ALL TIME. kobe just willed them back into the game, and then horry.

horry.
horry, i love you, man. i've got so much respect for horry. he has a daughter that has a severe illness, and he's been the most devoted and faithful father through everything. he keeps his perspective regardless of whether he's in a slump, whether his team is losing, or when the lakers rock, whether he hits the most unbelievable shot, as he did today. i personally believe God is blessing him because of the type of man he is. in an era when it's all about the superstars, fame, and glory, horry is content to be in the shadows and do the little things it takes to win. in the post-game interview, the first thing robert horry said was, "first of all, i want to give all thanks to God." that first moment of glory, when most of us would have been all to eager to seize for ourselves, he gave to God. you and i can say, well, he's just an athlete, God doesn't care about sports, etc. but you know what, that's Horry's job. just as it is yours to be a student now, to be a doctor or teacher or whatever else God leads you to, it is Horry's job. and he works hard at his job, and gives the firstfruits of all given to him to God. i only hope that i will be as faithful when i have such an opportunity, that the first thing that i do, the first thing that i THINK, is, "this glory does not belong to me, this glory is God's."

the absolute best game EVER. i'm so happy that i was able to sleep on the ride to yale, then be able to watch one of the greatest games in LAKER history with my younger brother, screaming our lungs out. i'm hoarse, i can't speak, but i can still scream. what have i done to deserve such happiness? my body is tingling from joy, from happiness.
