Kobe scored the last 20 Lakers points and 27 for the game. 9:40 left...in the 2nd quarter
Make that 23 in a row (in 5 minutes and 42 seconds) and 30 on the game (out of the Lakers 38 points).
Lakers announcer: "Looks like this is payback for the Wizards thrilling win earlier this year at the MCI Center."
Lol I wasn't going to watch and I need to get to sleep but I can't look away.
Anyway, back to Jordan's time here and bad memories, I knock him and hate on him for his utter-bull**** self-serving circlejerk retirement tour cluster**** (aren't enough expletives in the world to accurately describe it) every chance I get, but he did give me one great memory. I've talked about the before but I'll share again
December 29th (iirc), 2001. Was home for the first time since joining the Army. I actually enlisted one month before 9/11 and shipped off to basic one month after (talk about good timing lol) so it was a stressful time and good to be home. My big Xmas present was Wizards tickets, get to see Jordan here for the first time. Was so excited. Couldn't have gotten a better present. Went with my mom, stepdad and younger brother. And guess what? Jordan didn't disappoint. Scored 51. It was awesome to witness. And I think it might've been the last 50 point game of his career.
They were giving out black winter knit caps that night. I still got it and I still rock it to this day. To make it even better, Wall's home debut, they gave out the blue version of the exact same hat. And yup, still got it and still rock it.
