    Maybe it knew it was in an absolute battle and saving its energy but that mamba seemed incredibly tame early on, they're fucking nuts. Mongooses are fucking incredible.

    King cobra will always beat the mamba bc it's immune to venom.

    Paul pierce just told a hilarious story

    Him and Kobe were starring in a commercial. Kobe was supposed to play lax defense while Paul pierce was supposed to score on him. However while they were trying to film this, Kobe kept playing tough d and poking the ball away from pierce. It turned in to a full on 1 on 1 game lol

    I'm trying to at least take solace in the fact that he got to retire and get his farewell season in. Obviously we're still learning how beloved he truly was but I'm glad he got to experience that love. Especially in Philly.

    For sure. But at least he didn't have any doubt that would be happening as soon as he becomes eligible.
