Really do believe that Walton family taught their young ones basketball from crib age on up..they are certainly following in their Dad's footsteps. Our Lakers winning NBA championship 2009 was noted at the fifth annual L.A. sports awards recently at the J.W. Marriott in L.A. Hard having Kobe out with injury but doubt it will keep him at bay very long. Both Gasol brothers will be battling it out in Memphis game coming up. Perhaps Luke will finally get out on the courts again too to help out after back pinched nerve becomes healed. Ron Artest is becoming a player to contend with too. Looking forward to back to back games to see how the play unfolds. Babs Wells
