Big Time Players

Last night against the unbeaten Hawks who gave Boston fits last April, PP hit a 3 to win the game with 0.5 seconds left.

Last night, to seal the victory late in the 4th quarter while fighting off ridiculously tight defense from James Posey, Kobe Bryant hit a poorly considered, off balance fade away from 5 solid feet behind the 3 point line.

For the beneift of the Hive crowd Kobe left his hand in the post J arch that you do when you put it in someone's eye as he skipped backwards towards his bench and the Hornets called time. PP, for his part, did the muscle flex with the scream aimed at the rafters.

The NBA, where superstars having something to prove 3 weeks into the season happens.
