An NBA game in L.A., the Lakers - I'm a Clipper fan - it's to be seen as much as seeing the game.

He represents what the NBA should be all about,

I grew up in L.A., so I'm a huge Lakers fan and Kobe fan.

I never was able to be a Lakers fan - I'm more of a Spurs fan.

He's exactly what we need. I think it's a no-brainer. I haven't seen a drop-off in his game.

A lot of pro teams like to play their exhibitions in various places. The NBA likes to go to different places, sometimes college campuses (where their players were popular).
