I, JOCK, am watching an old basketball game from 2000: Lakers vs Pacers in the NBA finals.
So many things are different now from back then.
The way the scoreboard looks - it looks like a late '80's game. Also, Shaq was playing on the same side as Kobe. The jerseys look the same, though.
Shaq was so athletic and young back then. But after 10 years, he has worn down. He now plays for the Cavaliers. It might be his last season.
The game I am watching was also the time Hall of Fame player Larry Bird was the Pacer's coach. Bird used to play against Magic of the Lakers in the NBA Finals in the 1980s.
Another main difference: Kobe had hair. Now his hair is gone, and changed his number from No. 8 to No. 24. He still plays for the Lakers and he led the Lakers to the championship last season.
Ha! You should watch a game from the 70's next.
ReplyDeleteShaving off his hair was a great move on his part. Made him a better player. The afro- hair was getting in the way of his game. HAHA!
ReplyDeleteAs great of a player as he is, I am still Anti-Kobe.
