What happens in Kobe's last appearance at Arco/Sleep Train? Lot's of Lakers fans/Kobestans will show up probably and he'll be applauded, that's fine. Personally, I'm gonna vomit if the Kings have an official ceremony or farewell gift (unless it's a bag of cat poop) for him. Some things are just too painfull to forget about, and I don't care to be celebrating an effin Laker, especially one as unlikable as Kobe.

More to the point, who was Kwame taking minutes away from? Ronny Turiaf? The remnants of Chris Mihm's ankles? Lamar Odom, who was averaging 38 minutes?...
