        Kobe to Sactown? Wow what a deal. Do you think the Kings can win with him? Were there any other teams he was close to being dealt to?

          Yoooo. Kobe to Sacramento. What in the world. You could have given me 20 guesses and Sac would have never crossed my mind.

            Honestly, there weren't that many since both teams are still in win-now mode and needed to have the pieces to move around. Sacramento added an all-time great, while the Lakers' new line is Steve Nash/Kareem Rush/Peja Stojakovic/Chris Webber/Shaquille O'Neal.

              Re: NBA 2K23 - The Kobe Era Reimagined

              Ray Allen made history but it wasn’t enough. Allen was on fire, scoring 51 of his career-high 53 points in regulation on an NBA record 13 three pointers, yet Phoenix still prevailed 117-110. Stephon Marbury (25 points) led the way for Phoenix but he fouled out in the final few seconds. Speedy Claxton (8 points) went to the line and missed both free throws, opening the door for Phoenix. Charlie Ward (6 points), who replaced Marbury, drained a three to send it into overtime and Allen missed a step back jumper as time expired. In overtime, Phoenix denied Allen the ball as Amar’e Stoudemire (23 points, 21 rebounds) and Shawn Marion (21 points, 8 rebounds) sealed the deal.

                  Although both teams got out of the gates slowly, this turned into a great game down the stretch. Orlando secured a 108-101 victory at home thanks to big shots by Tracy McGrady (15 of his 31 points in the fourth), huge rebounds by Shareef Abdur-Rahim (21 points, 10 rebounds), and a block by Grant Hill (10 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists) that sealed it late. Yao Ming dominated at times (26 points, 14 rebounds) but Steve Francis (22 points, 10 assists) and Luol Deng (4 points, 2-12 FG) both struggled from the field.

                      The Spurs have looked unstoppable for most of the season but tonight, the Raptors used a three-point barrage to silence them at home 117-100. Vince Carter exploded for a season-high 47 points and he got big help from Jameer Nelson (20 points, 8 assists) and David West (20 points, 9 rebounds). Whenever the Spurs would get momentum from Tim Duncan (24 points, 14 rebounds) or someone, the Raptors responded with a deep bomb. They hit 15 out of 30 threes, while the Spurs managed to nail just six, marking the difference in the game.

                            Thanks! It is. I finally found a PS5 the same week that my PS4 seemingly died on me.

                                Seattle may have the worst record in the league but they didn’t go down without a fight here. The Sonics kept this close throughout before Golden State pulled away late for a 97-89 home victory. Jason Richardson (22 points, 7 rebounds) sealed it with a late three, while Antawn Jamison (21 points) helped him get there. Despite his name always being in trade rumors, Rafer Alston was great (22 points, 6 assists) and outplayed his counterpart, Gary Payton (12 points, 5 assists). Another surprise was Darko Milicic playing the best game of his career (11 points, 13 rebounds, 5 blocks).
