1. I'm getting older so my memory is starting to up...I just remember him going out of his way to underline it was his team ie over Kobe and other veterans. In 04 when it was him+wade+others they only got bronze so I wasnt sure why he felt the need to underline he's the leader of a team when he couldnt take them to gold. Anyhow no biggy just that I noticed it back then and was a bit surprised
2. I agree he still sells fouls and maybe I'm seeing it with Laker goggles on but of course he's going to try to sell that elbow. Also you have to take into consideration the psychology of what he's doing. Jamal throw a legit elbow to his chin and he was sending a message that if you go down this road I'll get you suspended a game. Young teams get frustrated and start targeting the superstars with dirty all the time.
3. I moved to San Diego and considering leaving California. Newsom is turning this state into a show. I'm not even a conservative (middle to the right ) but this new left is different. For example he just passed a law that allows men to chose if they want to go to women's prison because they identify as a woman. You think any women are gonna identify as a man and go to an all male prison? Nope. Plenty of creepy dudes will pick the all female prison. He then announced that all cars will be electric by 2035. This coming from a state which shuts down its power every few hours to restore energy. California is collapsing before my eyes and it's very sad to see. It's deeper than being a democrat state or republican. This is what happens when you invite every illegal and homeless person in the world onto one spot in the US. It was a bad idea when I was a kid and it's sad to see what it turned into from the 80's to this.
I live in La Jolla area which is like the stuck up rich people (im not rich) part of San Diego. Even over there I have homeless crack heads surrounding the area and just doing crack head things ie the other day a woman crying came up to my car begging me to share my food..it's past getting weird. My family still lives in LA and asks for me to come back...im good though. The problem is I dunno where else to move.
Many say places like Bend, Oregon or Texas but I am not sure yet. I think the ultimate plot twist would be if I moved to San Antonio
