Kobe Kobe Have you ever noticed how important a good name is? Kobe, Shaq, and even Vince. When you are mentioned by the first name and only the first name, you know your parents did a hell of a job picking that name. (note to self: Will "Mobe" be a good name for my son?) ((note to Nene: have you ever heard the "self-made-single-name curse"? A remedy would be to add back your surname, and cry a river apologizing to your father, dude! )) 2. Kobe's wife When your wife's pregnancy is listed in a bullet-point news list together with macho & resounding words like "lights up", "powers", "cruise", "drop", "hand", "lift", you know you've done sth right. Everybody should know by now that you've been working really HARD both on and off the court. (PS. Is that part of the aftermath gift to your wife besides that 4 M bling bling? Yo the man, Kobe--but If I were you, I'd do a DNA test, without the wife knowing it of course (as if you need to be taught this). BTW, you can use "Mobe" for your coming child if you like. ) 3. Kobe and Hawks So what's wrong with the cursed Hawks? It was forever linked with MJ for being "lit up" or "destroyed" by His Airness. Now as Fate has it, Kobe picks it up where MJ has left. And I thought the Nuggs would be the dragon the ninja slaughters again and again. And again. 4. SF3 "enjoys" ... himself. Nuff said. If you need more non-insights and bad feelings, see the monster . 5. Parker "powers" Any time you saw those two words together, you know it's early regular season. BTW, who said the French are the best lovers and last the longest?? I wonder how Eva feels in June... (note to Parker: Until Eva's pregnancy makes to Yahoo! NBA news, we won't believe in the French rumor. Till then...this picture won't mean a thing to us: Peace, M.
