"I been real all my life, they confuse it with conceit.."
Jay-Z, "Blueprint 2"
On the ride down to DC, AG and I had a conversation on how you could compare the beauty of Kobe Bryant's game, to a flawless verse by Jay-Z. How only a true fan, and student, of both men's craft could understand the complex yet simple beauty of the work they do..
None of this was more evident then in the fourth quarter of the Lakers game against the Washington Wizards, and with the Wizards surging back, the ball was in the hands of The Black Mamba. And he calmly sank a...Bank Shot! Immediately Mike Tillery and I go crazy. Not only because Kobe sank another game closing shot, but the fact that he had the presence of mind to shoot the bank shot!
And with that bank shot, the greatest closer in the game today added another chapter to his "How To" Manual. Like "Encore" by Jay-z, fans in the Verizon Center chanted "M-V-P" as if it were the same as "HOVA". After the game is over, AG and I caught up with Kobe and talked about everything from his new shoe, to his "Suburban" reputation. Check out the video, as AG ask the questions, Mike plays security in the background, and I get my Spike Lee on behind the camera. Enjoy.
Until Later,
Peace.
