Welcome to the new season. Kobe is still among us and really showing that he is the BEST player in the NBA. Don’t get me wrong, this is NOT a “We Love Kobe” production; rather this is a “We LOVE the Lakers” production.

Lakers are 2-1 after falling to Houston and beating the Suns and Jazz. Andrew Bynum is looking pretty good folks.  The TEAMWORK and EFFORT are up so far this year.
Next game Tuesday Nov. 6 against the Hornets.

Out.
