Kobe poured in 81 points on this date last year.

Yep I am not on crack, you read that right. Kobe destroyed my Raps all by himself on Jan. 22, 2006. I will never forget staying up late and watching history in the making. I will never forget Chuck Swirsky having a heart attack after Bryant drained jumper after jumper. I will never forget the down years of being a Toronto Raptor fan.

Thankfully ever since this horrid moment happened for Toronto it was almost like it was rock bottom reached. Everything since has been pretty, pretty good (my best LD). New President, new players, new attitude and new promising outlook. I can put the paper bag away and be proud to own a set of thundersticks.

Maybe in the grand scheme of things it will be Kobe who set the Raptors franchise into full steam ahead. Could you imagine if the lowest moment could be the turning point? Maybe of one of the Raps not putting Kobe on his ass was the best thing for the team. I so wanted to kill him as he scored over and over again but now I like how it turned out.

Anyways Jan. 22 will always give me a shiver and it is not from the chilly Halifax air.
