Some argue that he is the greatest, similar to Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali proportions. Others say rapper Tupac Shakur was all hype with more acting talent than a rap persona.
Whatever the case was, Shakur's name has been resurrected more than 11 years after he was gunned down on a Las Vegas street. His name has resurfaced in national headlines not because a group of loyal followers are celebrating his remarkable music career, but because of a select few media folk.
I have never truly hated anyone, but if I did it would have been Kobe Bryant. He ruined a dynasty. He made watching the NBA boring. Most importantly, he made my life as a Minnesota Timberwolves fan miserable.
Kobe, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound basketball star is an NBA freak of nature whose game is a mirror image of Michael Jordan’s. At 27, he has already won three NBA championships. So far this season he has averaged more than 35 points a game.
Over the past couple of years his sheer talent had been slowly turning me into a fan of Kobe, and Jan. 22 made it official.
