Clippers making Lakers give respect ..

Kobe Bryant days are numbered.  The Los Angeles Clippers by the city of Los Angeles were always considered a second rate Basketball team in comparison to the GODLY viewed Lakers franchise.  Don't get me wrong, theLos Angeles  Lakers are a great organization and deserve the recognition.  Somewhere the focus got lost, it stopped being about a team of players and starting being about a player (Bryant) which clearly in my opinion was the downfall.  Bryant was so focused on chasing Michael Jordan's record that he lost his focus which was being a basketball team leader, a few years back, he fought with then Laker coach Phil Jackson, it was always everyone fault but his.

The Clippers were on a 18 games win streak, until losing to Denver, they took on the Lakers last night and the winning streak started all over again.  Chris Paul and Blake Griffin helped the Clippers to defeat the Lakers 107-102.  Paul had 30 points and 13 assists, Griffin added 24 points, and the Clippers led all the way in a victory on Friday night, giving them two wins in two games this season against their Staples Center co-tenants.  Los Angeles finally has an even balance with the luxury of taking pride in both franchises, as it should be.  Remember the race is not won by the swiftest, it's about the enderance til the end.
