How active is the runway leading up to Kobe Bryant's final game Wednesday?
Lakers employees need new words to express it.
"The game is going to be a 'zircus' — a zoo and a circus," said long-time Lakers publicist John Black, who is responsible for plenty of behind-the-scenes work for Bryant's farewell against Utah at Staples Center.
The team plans to bring in about 30 of Bryant's former teammates, with commitments including Shaquille O'Neal, Robert Horry, Rick Fox, Ron Harper and, on the unique side, DJ Mbenga and Adam Morrison.
