Reason # 29 For Why I Heart Lamar Odom

I picked up this little anecdote from Lamar Odom via Henry Abbot at TrueHoop who found the story on Lamar Odom's website. The story goes like this:

Prior to the start of the Denver series, the Lakers were gathered at a high-end steakhouse for a team dinner. Lamar says says the place can be "rather expensive," especially, you'd imagine, for a large group.

When the check came, Kobe Bryant reached out his hand for it. "As soon as he picked up the bill," says Odom, "we all started chanting 'MVP MVP MVP!'"

Hilarious. I can totally picture Lamar starting the chant and Sasha totally getting into it with a goofy grin on his face as he starts to bang the table. Next thing you know, Turiaf is up from the table doing his little dance thing and chanting away. Wish I could have been there.

PS I wish Lamar would bring back the star on the side of his head. I totally miss it.

Saturday Afternoon Photos

I spent Saturday afternoon taking a few more photos in my neighborhood. The lighting wasn't right and I am discovering that good composition can be a challenge when taking self portraits. All in all it was a good learning experience for me and I really enjoyed myself. What else can I ask for, right?

Resolution

I'm never going to another Clippers game again. Last night I was reminded of how vastly superior the Lakers experience is to the Clippers lameness. The lighting of the arena is better. The pre-game introductions are better. The Laker Girls are better. The quality of play is better (Kobe effortlessly dropped 36, 13, and 7 and added 3 steals for good measure). The fans are better. And it doesn't hurt that I have been a Lakers fan as long as I have known what basketball was. So yeah, I am never going to another Clippers game again.
