Stephen A. Smith Makes Me Want To Vomit
Stephen A. Smith Makes Me Want To Vomit
Stephen A on Kobe: “I don’t think this has ever happened in my lifetime, not that I can think of. I can’t think of anybody that had had such a complete 180 occur in their career... considering all the things he’s accomplished and the metamorphosis that has taken place in regards to his image… I’ve never seen anything like it" Turnaround? because he played to his potential after a failed trade?

    Great post. Kupchak had the turnaround, not Kobe.

emptythebench.com 5/30/2008 — I’m not going to tell you that Kobe is a great guy, but Kobe is the most superb basketball player in the universe, an assassin in high tops, and what I truly respect about him is that he not only makes the absolute most of the god given gifts he’s been blessed with (unlike so many pro athletes who take their winning ticket in the genetic lottery for granted), he has an indomitable will.

mvn.com 5/30/2008 — The Lakers beat San Antonio 100-92 last night to capture the Western Conference title and head to the finals.

The Lakers did this in true cardiac fashion by falling behind by 17 points early, before annihilating the ...
