I know I've said it a hundred times before and I'm going to say it again here...my favorite card in the whole set is the Kobe 'LA Times' Mamba Moments card...
I won't lie - I was *never* a fan of Kobe - I'm a Laker-hater by nature and Kobe was the epitome of Laker-ness to me. I related to him on a 'we're the same age!' kinda level, and I had a great deal of respect for him and his game, but he terrified me more than anything...
So...when those @latimes photos of him hit the internet, I just fell in love with them. Mostly, the absurdity of the whole situation...but moreso just something I knew I would love to hate for years to come. So when I had the chance to make my own Kobe set, I chose this moment as one of my favorites...
Winning an oscar? Gold medal? Playing the rucker? Championship after championship? Nah, give me Kobe in a white top hat.
If you pulled a few Kobe Mamba Moments cards from the set - which ones did you like best?
Happy Kobe day!
