From the first time LeBron James took Kobe Bryant to the hole and Kobe responded with his up and under on LeBron, The Finale was as exciting as everyone wished. Even if some of the first quarter turned its attention to the exciting underdog play of 32-year-old rookie, Marcelo Huertas, the anticipation was 100% on Kobe and LeBron.
Something magical happened on that court. This was two players in their thirties playing like they were 25 again. All season it’s looked like Kobe could collapse on the court at any second. Not this time though. There was nothing but smiles and energy coming off of him.
