For those of you that didn’t get a chance to watch the amazing finish to the LA Lakers at San Antonio Spurs last night, you missed a nail biter. The game had a playoff atmosphere and the stars came out to play, putting in some nice work at the office. Kobe in particular had a great came, that included a three pointer with 12 seconds left in the game to put the visiting LA Lakers up by 2 points.
Then Kobe danced.
I was loving the shot until that point. Kobe has always been plagued by criticism that he is too arrogant and cocky. And I realize he was caught up in the moment with the adrenaline pumping, but Kobe should have taken a page out of the classy Tim Duncan’s book and let your game speak for itself. Not just that but the Lakers ended up getting beat after a huge clutch play by Roger Mason Jr. of the Spurs. So, it’s okay to dance and be entertaining, but maybe wait until you at least have the win secured and the final horn sounds. Otherwise you look like a bit of a…….something…
At the very least it was a nice throwback to the great Sam Cassell’s “look how big my balls were on that play” dance….check it out:
