LA Lakers – Kobe.

Kobe Kobe Kobe. This year I would like to Kobe.

Kobe. Kobe kobe kobe Kobe-kobe Ko ko ko. Be Kobe. The thing about the Lakers is that Kobe. Not only has Kobe but Kobe ko Ko ko Kobe Bryant, best player of all Kobe.

This is not a knock on other franchises, but there is only one Los Angeles Kobe and Kobe kobe kobe.

Kobe all over the walls and carpet. Kobe kob be be bbbBBBbeee Bryant. Kobe that he kobe MVP is basically the only evidence you need that Kobe kobe Bryant Bean Mamba is rigged.

Kobe. Kobe Kobe. It’s not that simple, you see. There are layers and layers to the layers that is the career of Kobe Kobe Kobe. The first thing you think about is the fact he’s one of the kind. There was no Kobe before him, and there will never be another Kobe kobe Koafterbe kobekobehim.

We should ignore the part where he wanted to be traded to the Chicago Bulls. That didn’t happen. When Kobe week happens, you Kobe. You don’t Kowas.

Kobe.

Sometimes, I lie awake at night and stare at my ceiling. The sleep meds sometimes kick in shifts. Usually the need to stop being awake hits me first, but sometimes the grip on reality loosens before the rest of this. It’s at those moments where my plush red panda turns into Kobe Bryant and looks at me.

He tells me “#MambaMentality” and takes me into a dream world where everything is possible as long as you are Kobe Bryant. I think we all are. I know I am.
