But as it was, I was free to appreciate other players. This year.

I watched the celtics because they were at the same spot the hornets were last year, I respect other players don't get me wrong if they played the hornets I'd say "screw you pierce" but I wouldn't dislike him as a player, he is a respectable guy and reminds me a lot of CP3 in his unselfish play and love of the game. When players play like they love it it's better then when they just play for money, that takes the life right out of the game.

On a personal note I would like to add that I am in slightly less of a state of disarray, having gotten a driver's license today and possibly gotten a job as well. Maybe next year I can be an inspirational story. No? After reading Hornets247’s recent post, I’m now hoping the Hornets pull the trigger on something on draft night.

And I really like people who shout 'ad hominem!!' when I bring that case up too. Because quite frankly, I could care less about separating church and state, figuratively speaking. Despite what 'Red Rover, Red Rover' taught you in grade school, neither bandwagon is going to yield to the other. But glad to hear you enjoyed the Finals (as opposed to maybe mW). At least the Stern Button worked in your favour ever so slightly. Next season unofficially starts next week with the draft (when Knickerbocker fans inevitably boo whomever they select).

Also that I feel he's SO big they're (media, PR machine, whatever) always trying to feed us some version of Kobe that isn't necessarily the real him. What it paints is a picture of a guy who's never had a doubt in his life. I'm sure that's not true, but that's the image, and it's not very relatable.

I can't see myself rooting for a particular player, and this is evident with my lovefest with the Hornets (and less of a degree with the Mavericks). I loved Kendall Gill, Glen Rice, Vlade Divac, Too Easy, Dan Dickau, etc. during their tenure, but promptly relinquished my fandom after they left the team for various reasons. Why this is has always baffled me too, but I guess this is what alienates me as an illogical diehard fan of the Hornets. The closest thing to a favourite player would be Arvydas Sabonis (Sabas). Who is Sabonis, you ask? Exactly. I'm a fan of under-the-radar players who do their job night in and night out and don't necessarily need the media to fuel their ego. So I'm with you at least with rooting for certain qualities in players (DX, Ceiling Fan). And I think we need to create a power generator sustained by thoughts of self-satisfaction. Kobe would generate an unlimited potential of energy powering the world and win the Nobel Award for Omnipotence. I'm calling it. I’m actually quite the opposite.
