Kobe in Heaven…

Kobe Bryant, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around, and they came to a modest little house with a faded Los Angeles Lakers’ flag in the window.

“This house is yours for eternity, Kobe,” said God. “This is very special; not everyone gets their own house up here.”

Kobe felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. But on his way up the porch steps, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a three-story mansion with a brilliant Black, Silver & White sidewalk, a 50-ft. tall flagpole flying an enormous San Antonio Spurs flag, and a Spurs logo of some kind in every window.

Kobe looked at God and said, “God, I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question: I won 3 NBA Championships, played in the All-Star Game almost every year of my career, and won the MVP and more awards than I can remember. I mean, I am one of the greatest players of all time.”

“So what do you want to know, Kobe?” God asked.

“Well, why does Tim Duncan get a better house than me?”

God chuckled and said, “Kobe, that’s not Tim’s house – it’s MINE.”

It’s going to be tough for this sport to sweep any nations, but it’s still pretty frickin’ cool!
