What's up Maze? What did I tell you about that release date on the Space Jams? You know I wouldn't steer you wrong. Happy Holidays!!
First to offer prediction. This game won't reflect the final score of 98-86. Lebron will have average game of about 25-5-5. Kobe will have his average game of about 23-4-7. Sluggish game because Cleveland will have their big guy slowing the game down and Lakers will just turn it on in the 4th will some stops, but close game throughout. KB always seem to get injured playing against Cleveland. Maybe aggravate a groin this time; He'll be fine.
I'm ordering my Kobe Vs online. Camping out by the computer, not camping out at stores. Not liking LBJ's X-mas colorway. Love the VIIs though.

I will be getting the Lebron VII "Christmas" Pass on the Kobe V's for now but coppin the Kobe V Carpe Diem in Jan.
Oh yeah got my 2 pairs of Space Jams!!!
Like the shoes. Not so much the Lebron's colorway, VII is sweet though. They may call Kobe's "Christmas Day", but watch....he will wear a totally different colorway. Bet on it.
