What hotel? I'm in Houston for work and going to game 6, and thought it would be cool to stay at their hotel. If you don't want to post it publicly, PM me.

Congrats! Great story, and way to represent.
The girls in the pics were cute too.

By the way, despite what the pundits, reporters, and critics say about Kobe being arrogant, aloof, standoffish, etc. Tony and I noticed that this is far from the truth. He treats everyone like you're a long lost friend and he's interested in what you have to say.
In fact, 10 minutes in their conversation Kobe's security guard starts to usher Tony aside and Kobe interjects and says, "Naw man, it's all good, this cat is chill."
thanks to hear that. always think kobe is cool when he was not with family and not preparing for the game

Ya man me and my boy are hitting up Denver! I cant waittttttttttttttttt
I'm curious though. Who are you guys again? Do you have connections with the Lakers?
Or are you regular fans that follow the team around to certain games? Because if that's the case, I must say, the Lakers seem to be very friendly and accomodating to let fans get so "up close and personal." But then again, maybe you guys are just very likeable!!

We don't have any direct connections with the team per se, but we do know some members from the Lakers staff. There's a different element when you support your team on the road and when you're cheering in hostile territory. It's a rush and it's fun.
I may not be able to go to Denver (it depends on the scheduling) but I already plan on going to Orlando/Cleveland.

Likeable yes... haha
well as for me im an insipring broadcaster/writer, i know a lot of people in that aspect of the business. As well as some people at the NBA office that work directly with Stern. We know some Laker coaches, and people that work for the organization.
Its amazing going places in the purple and gold. Me and 3peat would go out and eat, and people would be telling us how gutsy we are...

Wow, one of the best stories I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing. That must have been nerve-wracking... How long did you talk with Kobe for? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
