Well, basketball has finally made it to our TV screens. It only took several months and several million dollars, to strike a deal. Most of the buzz, has been centered around the Lakers. Whether, it is drama on the team or just a rocky start, the Lakers seem to be coming together.
The Lakers have been the center of some controversy lately. First the loss of Lamar Odom to the Mavericks, which no one was happy about. Then Kobe Bryants steamy divorce, with long time wife, Vanessa Bryant.
The beginning of their season started with a couple of losses, but after airing out the players, they seem to be back to their old tricks. We might have Mike Brown, new head coach, to thank for this. Mike, didn’t seem to have the right stuff to lead the Lakers, but it seems he has proved us wrong. Kobe Bryant, has refused to comment about Mike, this might speak volumes after several more games.
Kobe seems to be improving his movement in his right knee, which he has had complications with in the past. Kobe underwent a knee procedure in Germany after last seasons blowout. During his last game against the Knicks, Kobe claimed to be feeling almost %100. Then he went out on the court and scored 28 points, we can’t argue with him.
They are now standing with a 2-2 record after their 99-82 win against the New York Knicks on Thursday. Kobe has averaged 27 points in the last four games. The first three games this season: Chicago he made 28 points, 29 at Sacramento and 26 against Utah. Last year he finished the season with an average of 17 points a game.
If Kobe keeps making his opponents look like high school players, the Lakers should be in good shape. The game has been good to Kobe and if age means anything, then we can’t wait to see him at 40.
