What Have We Learned This Week?
• A comforting thought for Clipper fans is that just in case someone drives a Kia onto the court in hopes of stopping Blake Griffin, he will still fly over that ineffective defense and dunk it in your face!
• It’s nice to know that some things don’t change. Like Kobe Bryant’s egocentrism.
He can’t play in the fourth quarter against Charlotte and Cleveland (Cleveland!), but he can give a herculean effort in the final 12 in the fun but meaningless showcase of the All-Star Game to keep the “young guys” from grabbing his MVP.
Good work, Kobe. You're the All-Star MVP. Just be sure that you can flip the switch to “ON” again in the playoffs when the bright lights are shining again.
