The secrets Kobe holds in his mind are incredible. The closer he gets to retirement the more we hear, so the future is looking good basketball fans. He gave us an inside look at how he went about recruiting Dirk to the Lakers when he was facing free agency. If you’ve ever been around a girl that you know is too fine for you, but you have to shoot your shot anyway, because if you don’t you’ll spend the rest of your life thinking about how did you didn’t try? Yeah, that’s what went through Kobe’s mind. If Dirk was recruited by someone else and it worked, Kobe would have been sitting at home eating his feelings.
I’m glad both have stayed true to their franchise. I love the idea of big stars leaving their current situation as much as the next guy, but after it happens, both sides usually wish they would have stayed with their original team.
