It won't be the same without Bird, and Magic, and company .............. but, I'll watch, .... Beat Kobe !!!!!!!!!!
OB--this is the second topic ever that we disagree on (sorry, the Stones need to retire). Kobe is awesome and it was really cool to see him finally grasp the benefits of right leadership (now if my boss would only understand it) that is what I loved about my military training--I learned that you can lead, accomplish the mission, and it doesn't have to be a drag. We spend too much time together at work for it to be a bad atmosphere. so it was cool seeing those young men having fun while they were having a good season.
by the way, i can make that Stones comment because I was at their Farewell Tour in 1982 []
