The Most Valuable Column
A few of you have already discovered this, but for those of you who have not, I have a new announcement for you. As of two weeks ago (apologies for the delayed announcement), I am a regular contributor at Hardwood Paroxysm.

Kobe Bryant Refuses to Lose
Over the last couple of years, those that have paid much attention to the Lakers — and, more specifically, to Kobe Bryant — have come to expect two things. First, that at every crucial juncture, Bryant’s numerous critics will invariably predict the return of a mythical character they refer to as “Old Kobe” — a selfish player who doesn’t trust his teammates and tries, unsuccessfully, to win games single-handedly, playing 1-on-5. Second, that Bryant will disappoint them, proving them wrong at every turn. In Game 3 of the 2008 Finals, Kobe Bryant did just that, completely dominating the game both offensively and defensively while taking only 20 shots.
