(Van Halen, Jump)
I never really liked the Lakers much (though I did enjoy sitting almost courtside once, thanks to a friend whose boss liked to splurge on tickets), and as much as I'm sort of anti-Kobe Bryant, you can't argue with the fact that he's one of the top 3 players in the NBA today.
Also, you can't argue with this. This is unreal. It's hard to tell if this is rigged or not. If it is, then screw him, he's still a douchebag. If it's not, then he is Superman, and if I'm in the Laker's front office, I'm going to have a talk with him about not doing ridiculously stupid things, no matter how unbelievably cool they might look.
But yeah, this is just unreal.
