here’s the exact transcript from my living room during that final play of the mavs-lakers game.
mavs up two with three seconds left. lakers prepare to inbound the ball. i know who’s getting the ball. you know who’s getting the ball. the mavs know who’s getting the ball. everyone watching the game knows who’s getting the ball. my mom who knows nothing about basketball knows who’s getting the ball.
a screen gets set for kobe.
me: you know what’s coming! it’s going to kobe!! watch the screen!!! someone switch!!!! someone make the switch!!!!!!!
no one makes the switch. kobe gets free, the ball is passed to him, he turns, and lines up an absurdly open three.
me: NONONONOOOOoOoOOooOOOOooOOooo
my heart is rapidly sinking into my stomach. in my mind i can already hear lakers fans being douchey about how clutch kobe is. but somehow, someway… kobe’s shot is long!
me: nOooOOoOoOyyyYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
horn sounds, game over, mavs win.
me: YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!
mom: can i watch the news now?
