Last night was a remarkable night in the history of basketball ... and of sport. Last night the Golden State Warriors ran away from the Memphis Grizzlies to win their 73rd game ... a new NBA single season win total record. While doing so, Steph Curry made an amazing 10 three point shots some from as far away as Modesto. At the same time, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers seemed to turn back the clock. After being forced fed over 40 shot opportunities that had resulted in a rather contrived looking 45 points, the Kobe of Old came back to life in the last three minutes of the game to enable him to score another 15 points and to win the game over the Utah Jazz. With his arm depleted, and his body surely sore, he can now ride off into the sunset with what is undoubtedly the most blazing glory of all time.
Watching the replays of those two games last night, on competing television channels, made me thankful for a not so insignificant invention. Between watching Curry and Kobe, I had to give pause and thank God for whoever invented the television remote control. Wow, what a night!
Peace,
