I only have two facial expressions … Smiling Kobe and Intense Kobe.
Kobe Bryant, from Mike Sager’s 2007 Esquire feature on him. Kobe also opines that not training dogs should be a crime, like child abuse. I rediscovered this in Best American Sports Writing 2008. Will such a volume even be able to exist for 2011? Or will it be replaced by a monopoly venture?

Dirk’s shambolic anti-athleticism is central to his offensive effectiveness: half his trips to the free-throw line seem to result from defenders who are used to high speed chases with Jaguars failing to account for the strange trajectories of this earthbound Volkswagen.
