In honor of Kobe Bryant announcing his retirement in verse, it's only fitting that tonight's Lakers-Sixers game gets previewed in verse as well.
From the moment
I heard stories of Joe Bryant in Philly
And hanging out with
The neighborhood kids
In suburban Philadelphia
I knew one thing for sure:
A rivalry born out of Kobe's local ties -
And breaking them with his
Words & basketball play.
As an eleven-year old boy
Deeply in love with sports
I saw Allen Iverson step over Tyronn Lue.
I only saw the win.
