Re: LA Times piece

[Theresa Lee <tjoyce@mit.edu>]

NBC and Bob Costas are Kobe -obsessed! Last weekend I was watching them
(the Lakers, yes) and Kobe drove to the basket trying to make a spectacular
move. He missed and Shaq dunked the rebound. Bob Costas: "oh my, would you
look at that move!'  Silence while Shaq dunks. "I'm not sure what was
better, the move to the basket or the intentional miss so that Shaq could
slam it." Now he has Kobe missing spectacularly ON PURPOSE to make his
teammate look good?  Yikes!

Bob, stick to baseball.....you're getting on my nerves.
