actually that post was mostly humor. trust me, I know...

still, it's kinda like going out in a blaze of glory...:thumb:

Yeah, he was going to keep firing until there were no more bullets left in the chamber.

Fug it, go out like Scarface.

Rightfully so when he knew he wasn't gonna live to fight another day.

It wasn't his shooting percentage that made it so great (although he did shoot 44% which isn't bad for a SG) or the fact that the Lakers won.

It was about the way it all happened. At the start of the game, he couldn't hit a shot and it looked like it was going to be really, really bad. But he kept shooting, his teammates kept feeding him the ball, he got hot and by the end of the game...the shots he was hitting were ridiculous.

Would have preferred for him to have a final game more like the one MJ had when he retired after the 2nd three-peat. But all things considered, it was a pretty cool exit.

Shout out To the 60 ad the 215.

Even the 91 is messed up if the Angels are playing.

Really, in all of SoCal, the only places you can move freely (especially during rush hour) is the 5 in South Orange County and the 15 between Temecula and San Diego.

Yeah, I bought a house out in Victorville back in 2003.

I would take the 215 to the 605 to the 10 to get to work in Downtown L.A..

Brutal.

And led them to the comeback victory in the 4th quarter. He was on fire even though he looked dead tired.

lol yeah he was gassed in a MAJOR way. but you know Kobe. he wasn't ABOUT to go out without putting in a Herculean effort. folks may like or DISlike Kobe, but one thing can be said for the man. there are VERY few who can match the guy's competitive nature...

Fitting way to end his career giving his all in that last game. He did that for 20 seasons.

Maybe some of you So Cal boys dudes can help me. I am landing in SDIA and driving up to Rancho Mirage. Google has 2 options that take about the same time. Which is better:

1-Go up the 15/215 to Riverside and hook a right and catch the 60/10 east/south (goes around the desert and mountains)

2-Go up the 15 to Temecula and catch 79/371/74 through the desert and SR mountains

Also what are the risks/rewards.

Thanks in advance.

Route 1 will be more scenic.

I know. My fiance and I passed through Venice Beach to see her cousin that's staying over there on our way from Texas to Washington state. I had to come in via the I-10 and go up (at 5pm on a Wednesday) the I-5 in a Uhaul with a car towed. I also was stationed in 29 Palms, CA during my Marine Corps days....so yeah. Your city is a god damn mess traffic-wise. But which big city isn't at this point?
