And This Is Why We Love Kobe Bryant....

People are so quick to hate on Kobe Bryant, because they think he's "arrogant", a"ball hog", "overrated", and the list goes on. While, some of these may be true, one thing you can't hate on is his game. What people don't understand is that Kobe put's in WORK. He's not the highest paid player in the NBA for no reason....he works for it.

Last night, during the anticipated Heat vs. Lakers game, Miami ultimately beat the Lakers 94-88. Kobe started off hot,but towards the end of the game, it all went downhill. Kobe was 6-18 in his jump shots.

After the game, while his teammates were packing getting ready to go back to L.A, Kobe stayed on the court for an extra 2 1/2 hours, perfecting his jump shot. Reporters and athletes watched Kobe while he practiced by himself on the court. 

desmond_howard: This is Y I have so much admiration for Kobe as a professional athlete. http://yfrog.com/h3hdvyjj. His professional focus is unmatched

dannyhoyt: Love that Kobe stayed and shot for an hour after losing. AN HOUR. When the Heat lose, they cry. When Kobe loses, he gets better. #Lakers

IraHeatBeat: Yes, Kobe Bryant, right now, more than 2 1/2 hours after the game, is shooting jumpers on the court, with media told building is closing.

Kobe Bryant still out on the court, shooting, more than a hour after the game. Even Erik Spoelstra came out to take a look. i have a whole new respect for him right about now

@WojYahooNBA: Kobe’s been going for over an hour now on AA Arena floor, covering every spot on the floor with jumpers. He’s out beyond 3-point line now.

When Kobe finished and was on his way to the weight room, reporters asked him, why the extra practice?

His reply “I had some things to work on.”

Lamar Suprises Khloe With....324 Roses!

Khloe Kardashian-Odom is one lucky lady. For Valentine's day Khloe was surprised with 324 red roses in her hotel room (27 dozen roses) by her husband Lamar. You may think that 27 is an awkward number...but there is great significance to the number 27, which Khloe explains on her blog.

"The number 27 is very special to us. It keeps replaying in our lives. We met on the 27th, got married on the 27th, my name change was processed and finalized on the 27th, to name a few."

 

Khloe is currently in Orlando, but Lamar is planning to meet up with her after his game vs. the Knicks tonight in New York. 

 

Needless to say I was OVERWHELMED, shocked and soooo speechless," she said "I love my hubby. Such an amazing Valentine’s Day surprise!!!.

 

 Hopefully we will get to see all the magic unfold on their new reality series.

Monica & Shannon Brown Tie The Knot

R&b star Monica, and Los Angeles Laker Shannon Brown have are married. The two tied the knot on November 22, after meeting a month before on the set of Monicas "Love All Over Me" video shoot.

Shannon confirmed the news a couple of days ago telling "Hip Hop Non Stop TV Show"

"That's my wife, I'm her husband, you know. We're going to continue to make positive things happen."

Monica also sent a statment to HipHollywood.com:

"This is a very special time in my life. I am blessed to have married the man that God sent me, he's loving, compassionate, strong and supportive of my children, family and career. I look forward to our lives together."

I think these two make an adorable couple. I love seeing Monica cheer her man on at Laker games.

Still Going Strong,,..

I have to admit that when I first heard about Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odoms 'shotgun' wedding, I was full of doubt. I remember predicting their marriage to last  6 months to a year, at the most. Many people thought I was being to nice giving them that long of a time frame. However, the couple has proved many of us wrong by celebrating their first year anniversary today.

I got to give it to them after watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians, they look very much in love. I wouldn't be suprised if they lasted until the end of their lifetime. Khloe wrote a message to her husband today, on her blog expressing her sincere happiness. 

"I feel like I truly discovered myself the moment I met Lamar. 365 days have passed since we got married  and each and every one of those days my husband has been the first thing I think of when I wake up, and the last thing before I go to sleep. I truly wish this kind of happiness upon everyone, I feel so blessed."

 

 Make sure to check out a gallery of the couple on Khloes blog Khloe Kardashian Blog.

Congrats the couple!
