snow? (and a little side note)
Tuesday, March 16

so weird. snow during mid-march. i think the year needs to be shifted so that snow will fall from nov to feb. that way, we'll be guaranteed a white christmas every year.

on a side note: kobe is the man. mcgrady was killing the lakers, until kobe demanded that he be put on mcgrady (phil jackson didn't want kobe to, "because the lakers needed kobe's offense." in the head-to-head with mcgrady, kobe shut tracy down, then scored 24 points in a QUARTER (tying records held by elgin baylor and jerry west), and then led them to victory in overtime.

all with a twice injured shoulder.

what i love the most, though, is how he is always working to improve. for the 1st 4 yrs in the league, he improved in EVERY statistical category. points, %, boards, assists, steals. then after that, 1 yr, he works on his 3 point shot. another yr, he decides he needs to be buffer. another yr, he decides that he is going to shoot with his left hand more often. the weird thing is, he's shooting a pretty good % with it, and made a crucial basket late in the game with a left-handed layup. he has CONFIDENCE in his left, to put it on the line with the game up in the air.

after the last month, it is clear whose team the lakers are. it is not shaq's. the torch has been passed from the lazy dominator to kobe's work ethic, persistence and drive to excellence.

there is no doubt that when he is done, he will be known as the greatest in the game. ever.
