The Offseason that was http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/stor..._sam&id=1621768 <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> The word is they wanted Tom Brokaw to write this piece about the NBA's summer of 2003. But it was hardly the NBA's greatest offseason. So I got the assignment. Actually, the summer of '03 was one to forget for the NBA and most of its teams. Kobe stepping into court, not on a court, was the offseason's big story. It, of course, started with the arrest of Kobe Bryant for sexual assault. So much for next Jordan. How about next Anthony Mason? </div>
Sam Smith must have been really bored, sometimes writers write outrageous articles just to get people talking, this does that, because it's trash. Dead part of the season, expect a few more of these.
