Sports - This is probably my first post about NBA or basketball on my blog so I must apologize in advance if you find this post too basic and lacking enough details and technical terms as I am barely returning to watch the sport again.

I grew indifferent about NBA in recent years. I think the difference between Shaq and Kobe had something to do with it. Also lack of passion for the sport and lack of loyalty of players to their team and vice versa.

However the main reason I think for me, as a Laker fan was, that they were not getting the result they needed and also much of their plan was based around Kobe. I don’t have any problem with Kobe in fact I think he is the best player NBA has had after Michael Jordan from technical prospective. But I think of basketball as a team sport and where there isn’t much of that going on in a team, it turns me off.

But the new Laker Gasol may change that. The guy just got 22 points and 12 rebounds last night and he seems to be able to be playing with Lakers and Kobe well. And the interesing part was that Lakers won the game with Kobe only getting 6 points!

You know what means? That Gasol addition was a good move toward building a better team.
