The respect affair between Kobe Bryant and the Boston Celtics
As you surely know by now, Laker supervillain Kobe Bryant is making his last visit to Boston tonight against the Celtics. Kobe and the Celtics have a long history, and a rivalry that was thankfully rekindled when the New Big 3 Era came together and held up Boston's end of the bargain by becoming relevant again and making it matter.
Most Celtic fans begrudgingly respect him, yet are far from fans of his. With time passing, Kobe going on his retirement tour, and the fact that he and his team have become somewhat sympathetic non-threats this NBA season, it seems many of the feelings toward Kobe and his last return to Boston have been positive from the fans.
