I was wondering the same thing, Jackie!! We love Michael and his animal loving ways, but we are Lakers fans at heart, because Helen LOVES Shaq (shoot, her email is shaquillefan) and she also loves Kobe Bryant, as well. We have a hermit crab named Kobe!

We were fortunate enough to see the Lakers when they played the Charlotte Hornets this past February. Lakers won, and we had a wonderful time!! Hope to be able to catch them again this year either in Atlanta or Charlotte.
