“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

I have learned to respect Los Angeles Laker superstar Kobe Bryant much more than before. This cat is a flat out warrior on the court.

A lot of NBA players sit out games for little injuries. Or even big injuries. But Bryant always says “I am going to run, I am going to lace them up” Bryant hardly misses a game. He is going to play no matter what.

Recently he has played with a messed up finger, a hurt ankle and who knows what else. But again Bryant is going to run when others do not.

Bryant is a true superstar. Yes if you watch Laker games he takes bad shots. And a lot of them. But he makes a lot of those bad shots too.

At times, he has to take bad shots because he passes to one of his teammates and they do not hit their shots. Like Odom, Gasol and others.

Since his well known trouble with the law a few years ago, Kobe has repaired his image big time. He is doing plenty of commercials. I am sure you have seen the Kobe-James puppet commercials for Nike. He is making millions in endorsments.

Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest NBA players of all time. He could be the best.
