KB24 Blog Day?
Today is officially Kobe Bryant Blog day. Why did why Kobe need to be celebrated in the blogosphere? I don't really know. Here are some "blog days" that would have been a lot more fun than Kobe Day.
Henry Bekkering Blog Day
Henry Bekkering was like Brent Barry's idiot savant little brother. Barry had a nice career in the league but his dunk contest win was always a little tainted by the mediocre competition and waning fan support for the contest. Bekkering, on the other hand, was never good enough to play in the League (I think he's placekicking in the CFL now) but no one questioned the quality of his dunk contest victory. More Bekkering.
(I'm not even going to bring up David Lee as another white dunk contest champion because James White was robbed. As an aside, as long as we're on the subject of people who can dunk better than they can actually ball... Slamnation!)
Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo Blog Day
This day would be solely for recognizing how ridiculous-but-awesome Dikembe Mutombo is. On the court he is primarily known for taunting opponents (thanks to this ridiculous rule) while off the court he is know for his humanitarian work. He's been mentioned in the State of the Union and he knows how to use chopsticks. His voice is funny and he's really sensitive about his age. And as much as I think the finger wag is poor sportsmanship, it really is contagious.

Frankly, I am glad there was a Kobe Bryant blog. I just don't feel that Kobe gets enought love from the media and I really need to find out more about him. Did you know he scored 81 points in a game once?
