Like it or not, Kobe's the best

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.

  • A Tennessee high school, whose mascot is the Indians, takes the Native American motif one step further: It calls school grounds "The Reservation."

  • Native reaction to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain's vice presidential choice, is 'pretty mixed,' says one critic. A supporter says Palin 'has been open to and concerned about Alaska Native issues.'
