I’ve been away from the waiver wire from some time, but I feel like there is enough going on in the world of sports that the waiver is worthwhile. For starters, the Knicks don’t suck. Pair that with Jay-Z’s possible departure from the Nets, Tebow’s probable departure from the Jets and the continued sucking of the Mets and I can do an entire blog on NYC teams. That isn’t this evening’s plan. Instead I want to talk about LA and the Lakers being interesting again, not because they’re winning, but because they’re not.
The Lakers are in a battle for relevance. The ‘Clip have taken over as the top LA ball team and the Lake show is trying to make it to the second act (playoffs). I’ve been watching the games and watching Kobe come to life. He’s had his spark moment and i is a joy to behold. Bryant is one of the best players of all time and an unquestionable technician on the court. Unfortunately it feels like he’s lost a lot of his game to injury and age. Not this last month. He’s been playing like a smarter, smaller Lebron.
