I think that makes me as happy as Kobe's big night did!! Yayyy basketball Gina is back!

But yeah, I'm still reeling from last night's game. I couldn't believe it, it was ridiculous. In a good way. :p Second highest single-game scorer EVER. Move over, Wilt Chamberlain! I think Kobe's made it this far, I say he can beat Wilt's record. Maybe even this season. The guy's on fire. Back in December when he scored 62, everyone said it was a one-time thing, that it would never happen again. To those people, I say "Pfffffffffffft!"

Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers does a Laker blog for nba.com... check out this part:

i love being a laker fan
something about the purple and gold......
i remember once being in new york and going to see a knicks/heat game
at the garden
it was during their intense rivalry of the late nineties
man it was a boring game, they must have scored about 65 points a piece
and after the game in the car on the way home i was with a couple of
knick fans
and one of them said about my being a laker fan "aren't you
embarrassed?"
and i realized how great it was to be a laker fan
and how transparently sour grapes everybody else was
such great tradition
i love the lakers


I love it. I totally know how he feels... even when people are trash-talking the Lakers, it's all part of the experience. I see a lot of people around L.A. wearing jerseys that say "Fakers" on them instead, and I just look at them and shake my head and laugh.

By the way, his blog is always really random and funny... it's here if anyone wants to read it.
