Kobe is back and starts right in doing the same old thing. It will come down to whether his last second shots go in or not. They usually do, in my experience. I'd like to see someone else win but I've been this route many times. I've been there with Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, you name him, I've been there. In Hollywood, unbelievable things are commonplace. I sincerely hope that this season will bring a different result. Did I mention Gale Goodrich?

"Did I mention Gale Goodrich?"

No but you didn't mention Gail Goodrich either.
