Swipe to see some HIGHlights 😂 I’m not really big on getting high or altered mind states (on a regular basis), but the first time I ever got high was the first night I sat down and watched a full Laker (Kobe) game from tipoff to buzzer. I had just returned home from class and was looking for something to get into. I was kinda burnt out on classes and decided to finally sit down with my roommates and just chill for a change. I sat down in the living room, turned on the Dreamcast to play some NBA2K and before I knew it a blunt was being passed around and found its way to my hands. I paused the game and looked around the room - they were all looking at me - I muttered a ‘well, how do I do this?’ ⁣ ⁣ I remember I took that first pull, I coughed my lungs out, and within a couple of minutes the Dreamcast was off and we flipped over to watch the Lakers play the Warriors. I was off on a journey...just transfixed on the game in a way I had never really been before. My whole body was tingling and I felt like I was watching myself watch Kobe and Antawn go at it. It really was spectacular - these guys were just trading bucket after bucket and it felt like it lasted forever. Even a simple google search will tell you that that night - December 6, 2000 - Kobe went toe-to-toe with Antawn Jamison and both players scored 51 points each. There’s all kinds of interesting statistics about that night - Jamison’s second 50+ point game in as many nights, Kobe’s first 50+ point game, etc. - but I was so high I felt like I was in an alternate universe. I had trouble believing it was all real. I had to check the newspaper the next morning to ensure that I wasn’t. ⁣ ⁣ Looking up the score now - I can see that the Warriors actually won that night - but I’ll never forget ‘51 and 51’...I don’t think I’ve ever seen duel performances like that...and all for a regular season (largely meaningless) game. ⁣ ⁣ #ripkobe #ripgigi #ripkobebryant #mambamentality #lakers #lakernation #happy #goat #thesneakersavant #thesneakersavantremembers #beautiful #sneakerhead #igsneakercommunity #niketalk #ntdenim #smoked #burned #block #igkicks #sneakerfiend #love #goat #kotd⁣ #instagood #high #warriors
