Must watch: Kobe's last game or Warriors chase for 73?

ratings Wednesday.
NBA fans are tasked with a huge dilemma Wednesday for the league's regular season finale.

Two of the biggest games of the regular season both tip off at 10:30 p.m. (eastern time).

On one hand, you have the chance to watch Stephen Curry and the Warriors win 73 games and break the regular season win total set by the legendary 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Golden State hosts the Memphis Grizzlies -- the same team the Warriors edged by one point last week.

On the other hand, there's the chance to watch a legend and future Hall of Famer play in his final NBA game.
Kobe Bryant will don the purple and gold No. 24 for the last time as the L.A. Lakers host the Utah Jazz in their regular season finale.

If money could talk, it would say the "Black Mamba's" final game is the hotter ticket.

The cheapest ticket available for the game at Staples Center is going for $819, according to tiqiq.com.

Head to Oakland and the cheapest tickets available for the Warriors chase for 73 wins are going for $387 (standing room only).

I don't know about you, but my pockets aren't deep enough to shell out that kind of dough. I tend to use my funds on little things like housing, food and gas.

Fortunately for budget conscious basketball fans across the country, ESPN will broadcast both games live. The Warriors/Grizzles will be broadcast on ESPN, while the Lakers/Jazz will be live on ESPN2.

Fans took to social media to voice their opinion on the matter:


If u had 2 chose between Paying 2 watch Kobe last game or Warriors game for win 73, which 1 ?? Hmmmmm I think warriors

James Harden is not the real MVP

James Harden, I'ma let you finish but LeBron James is the real Most Valuable Player for the 2017-18 season. I didn't channel Kanye to diminish Harden's season or say he's unworthy of MVP, it's just that LeBron was more deserving of the award this time around. I googled the definition of "value" and this is what came up: the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something. Based on that definition alone, LeBron should have won MVP in a landslide. If you were to remove him from Cleveland's roster the Cavs would have likely been a lottery team with the core of players they had. Whereas in Houston, if you took Harden off that roster, the Rockets would still have likely been in the playoff hunt with Chris Paul as the featured star.  NBA MVP James Harden poses with his mom Monja Willis during the 2018 NBA Awards in California.

NFL Week One Recap: "Fitzmagic" in Tampa, Deja vu in Philly

The first week of NFL football is in the books and there were plenty of story lines to go around. Here are the top headlines as observed by Pass the Mike Sports. Tampa Bay shocks New Orleans in the Dome: With Jameis Winston out for the first three games it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Tampa Bay would get steamrolled by the Saints in their season opener. However, backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick had other plans, marching the Bucs offense up and down the field behind 417 yards and four touchdowns in a 48-40 win over Drew Brees and the Saints. Ryan Fitzpatrick Head coach Dirk Koetter said Winston wouldn't be handed the starting job back when he returned and if Fitzpatrick continues to play like he did Sunday, there's no reason for Winston to see the field. But stay humble Bucs fans, there's a reason Fitzpatrick has played for seven different teams in his NFL career and it's usually because defenses figure him out as the season progresses. While you should re...

Georgia vs. Auburn: Behind the deep south's oldest rivalry

ATHENS, Ga. -- What makes SEC football so special? I found out first hand on a freezing cold Saturday night "between the hedges" at Sanford Stadium. The Georgia Bulldogs played host to the Auburn Tigers in what’s billed as “the deep south’s oldest rivalry.” I’ve been to big football games before but I can honestly say I’ve never been to a sporting event with this much passion and intensity.  (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images) Growing up in Miami, football games - college or professional - only sold out on rare occasions (Miami vs. FSU).  Here in SEC country, they support their team in droves no matter the record. A crowd of 92,746 packed Georgia’s Sanford Stadium to see the No. 5 Bulldogs play the Tigers and the fans were immersed in the game from start to finish. "The fans are always here for Auburn and Georgia," said Columbus, Ga. native Xavier Palmer. Despite temperatures creeping down to the 30s, virtually every seat was filled at...
