Italian club Virtus Bologna said it has reached a verbal agreement with Kobe Bryant for the Los Angeles Lakers star to play in Italy during the NBA lockout.
So we probably aren't going to have a basketball season, which sucks. It forces me to lower my standards as an American and watch a sport in which every true fan (BMack and Captain) is a giant racist in Hockey. I will admit, I enjoyed that sport last year and I didn't mind watching it, I still don't know all the rules, but it will be a good stopgap for a year.
But with Kobe agreeing to a team out of the country it probably means he sees the writing on the wall and understands their won't be a season. Shame on the NBA for not figuring this out as well, the NBA is at the top of it's game and they have such a diverse talent pool spread throughout the league.
Sucks, Oh well.
