Kobe vs. Iverson, 'Melo? Should Be More Interested
I came here with a column idea, for Wednesday's newspapers ... involving the Lakers.
I gave very little thought to who was playing tonight, and it turns out it's a fairly interesting matchup. Kobe Bryant and the Lakers against Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets.
Those are three NBA superstars, or about two more than you might expect out of your normal NBA game.
Man, is Iverson little. Dinky. Can't weigh more than 160 pounds.
Anyway, the fans are semi-into it. Aside from those in the courtside seats, of course, who are too cool to be excited about a game in January.
Oh, and tonight's other subplot ... when will the booing of Kwame Brown commence? Dude is awful, but only of late have fans decided to hold him accountable for it.
He's already missed a short jump hook.
