Lake Show went all out to let Kobe know how great it was he passed MJ on the scoring list.

If this is what they do when he passes Michael, just imagine the celebration they would throw if he somehow passed Karl!

That would put him in second place....and you know what happens when you finish in second place!

I've never really studied this picture before, but Mz. Torrence captured a lot of greatness:

1. The headdress guy in Car #2
2. The dog walker
3. The use of Audis/VWs as the celebratory vehicles
4. The dude on his cell trying to explain to his friends how to get to Main Street.
5. The news camerman (obviously from KSL) wearing his BYU colors. :loser:

What about the guy out for a walk with his dog who didn't realize there was a parade going on.

The same one he mentioned in item number 2 of his post, or a different one?

Different one. Seems like the one in his post knew what was going on.

it is actually a pretty unique parade. you dont often see people lined up one-deep at a parade. most of the time those people are simply referred to as pedestrians.

"one-deep" literal lol.

I think you are a parade elitist.

I've seen lots of one-deep parades. San Francisco LOVES one-deep parades. So does Europe. I've always thought of Salt Lake as very European. Plus, if you look towards Eagle Gate (which anyone with a firm testimony of Prophets would do) you'll notice that there is quite a throng assembled. My guess is that the picture we have was taken towards the end of the parade route where everything -except for Sly's enthusiasm - sort of peters out.

[Sorry for the threadjack, Lakers fans. Please continue discussing the current team.]

I enjoyed this quick read from Grantland's Brian Phillips on Kobe and the slow and painful death of an alpha dog. I'm a sucker for pretty much anything Molly Lambert writes, but Phillips is quickly becoming my favorite Grantland contributor. His Iditarod piece a couple years back was fascinating, and his piece on Sumo Wrestling and Japanese political culture was brilliant. That website would be insanely awesome if Bill Simmons and Rembert Browne didn't ever attempt to contribute.

I read this article about Simmons awhile ago re: the rumor that he'll leave ESPN after his contract's up this year after that three-week suspension they gave him (ESPN supposedly pays him $5 mill a year):

Bill Simmons Would Be Nuts To Leave ESPN

Looks like Kobe is done for the season.

i recall a relatively recent post wherein imanhojin thought he had cleverly tricked me by illustrating that for my position to be a consistent one, I would have to admit that the Lakers should also get rid of Kobe and be better off for it.

lol.

I hope he sticks around 3 years past his expiration date so I can enjoy watching every NBA player hate and dunk on him. Michael knew how to be a superstar despite his inability to tell when it was time to get off the court.

Bring it, DDD. :bringit:
