If you choose Kobe Bryant's finale over the Warriors, prepare to miss true history

Is there any way to say you’d drop everything to watch the Warriors’ chase for 73 wins, without somehow, even slightly, disparaging Kobe Bryant?

Apparently not. And … oh, well. Sorry, Kobe.

If the NBA, and basketball, and history, and impossible achievements matter to you, no matter what your age or memories or experiences watching the game are — you’re re-arranging your life for this. East Coast fans are negotiating that loss of sleep. You’re eating at different times, DVR’ing shows you’d planned to watch (Sorry, “The Americans”), and charging up your phones, plural, because you’re living this moment on Twitter, too.
