King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

Holy crap wow! Kobe drops 62 points on the Mavericks' head in only three (3!) quarters of play. Lakers were up 95-61 going into the 4th quarter. They won by 22. Yipes! Mavs are our bitch? I'm confused. The Lakers own them, right now. I delight in this perhaps a little more than most other teams. I've been a long-time critic of Mark Cuban's approach to building a winner. In fact, I think it's debatable that he's ever put one out on the court. Especially when you define "winner" as, at the very least, a "playoff threat." I love whooping Cuban's bitches. 62?! Wow... Kobe's playing like an MVP this season. I don't know that he'll win it, and certainly there has been more buzz around another LA baller (Elton Brand), but if Bryant keeps this up and the Lakers finish strong in the West and make the playoffs -- hey, you have to give it to him.

1st Team All-NBA after the first six weeks of the season:
F Tim Duncan
F Elton Brand
C Marcus Camby
G Allen Iverson
G Kobe Bryant

Rookie of the year, so far, is a battle between Chris Paul and Channing Frye.
