Thats cool how they have Kobe "the man" be on the front cover of the NBA Relief page and no body else.... I guess someone feels he deserves to recieve some love every now and then.... http://www.tnt.tv/title/0,,625855,00.html
of course he will be on the cover, cuz like you said, he is "the man". Or because he contributed the most to this fundraiser.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A charity basketball game headlined by Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and more than a dozen other NBA players has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon in Houston to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Kenny Smith, the former Houston Rockets guard and TNT NBA studio analyst, helped organize the 5 p.m. CT fundraiser at the 18,300-seat Toyota Center. The game will be shown on TNT at 8 p.m. PDT, with viewers instructed on how they can donate to the Red Cross. The participants in the NBA Players Hurricane Relief Game, who plan to donate more than $1 million, also will distribute goods and supplies to Houston shelters before the game. "As professional athletes, we've been very privileged," said Smith, who lives in Valencia. "These are the types of communities that we come from, and this is one way we can help take care of our own." </div> In addition to commitments from Bryant, James and Garnett, the event is scheduled to include Jermaine O'Neal, Stephon Marbury, Dwyane Wade, Amare Stoudemire, Paul Pierce, Alonzo Mourning, Antonio McDyess, Steve Francis, Sam Cassell, Ron Artest and Chauncey Billups. Dallas coach Avery Johnson will coach one of the teams. </div> Kobe, LeBron in Katrina relief game
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post"> Kobe, LeBron in Katrina relief game </div> You mean Shaq's not playing????
I live in PA (EST), and I checked my satellite and it says nothing about this game on TNT for 11 PM. Why not?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I am interested in seeing if his game matured a little bit. I wonder if he will pass the ball more.</div> Of course he is going to past. Looks who at whose he's going to play wtih. This is really going to be like a pickup game, so expected a lot of highlights and guys acting dumb. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">You mean Shaq's not playing????</div> Apparently not. From what I know he was never scheduled to play. Anyways, I'm anxious to see Kobe and the rest of the guys. It's been so long since I seen pro ball players show off they're skills, so I'm happy that this game will be televised but even more happy that they're doing it for a good deed.

I just can't wait for B-Ball season to start... It's going to be interesting to see the Lakers play; don't know it will be a season brag about, but hopefully it will be worth watching... Over all, Kobe's always worth watching... But I'm very anxious to see the new players play; Brown, Bynum, Mackie, etc...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Purple Fever:</div><div class="quote_post">Anybody else thinks they called him after they were assured Shaq won't be available??</div> Probably not, Kobe has been working out all summer with KG, and he's pretty close to T-Mac as well. I don't think either Shaq or Kobe would put their personal feud ahead of a great cause.
