Lakers v. Spurs on ABC

[Direckshun]

Watching it now.

They have Kobe miked today, and just ran a series of comments he makes while he's on the floor. The guy isn't the nonstop jawer that Bird or Reggie Miller was but he can be awfully clever.

Spurs played tight D on the Lakers one possession and knocked the ball out of bounds with 3 seconds left on the clock.

Kobe runs around a screen, shouts WOOOO! He has one inch of daylight at the 3 point line with the 6'10" Kurt Thomas right over him, and drops a fall away jumper for 3 as the buzzer sounds.

Before the ball even reaches the net, Kobe immediately says "gotcha" to Thomas and starts running back to the other direction.

Classic.

Like Kobe said, he's 20 years old, it shouldnt take more then a few games for him.
