Kobe,
Man I hated you. I hated that stupid, unstoppable turnaround jumper. I hated those drives to the rim that always seemed to end in some spectacular finish, and often with free throws attached to boot. I hated that deep defensive stance that regularly resulted in steals.
I loved beating you in 2008. I loved that you shot just over 40% from the floor for the series. I loved that our guy Paul Pierce won the NBA Finals MVP. I loved that Banner 17 came at the expense of your Lakers.
I hated losing to you in 2010.
