Boy you'd have thought since the Suns clearly called timeout twice before young Walton tied Nash up and since he was obviously fouled multiple times by a team who had to foul him in an end-of-game situation. You'd have thought he would be a little more bitter. But no, you get "in those situations, those are tough calls to make. The first one, I slipped. The second was pretty physical. Boris (Diaw) was calling time out. I don't know. It was a jump ball. There were some costly plays down the stretch that didn't go our way. We did everything we could to win the game. It wasn't meant to be." That's MVP for you. Kobe would definitely not have reacted that way. Or at least not before this generation-defining series.
The whole last 5 and a 1/2 minutes of the game felt like watching a Nike commercial didn't it? Only instead of little kids reenacting MJ's Greatest Moments it was Kobe with the confident last-second swish, the improbable 20-foot high arcing buzzer beater, and the familiar strong arm pump running up the court after it's over. All that was missing was B.J. Armstrong and John Paxson.
I'm going on vacation and I hope have cable there cause these playoffs are off the chain!
