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.

How Pittsburgh Broke Code with Le'Veon Bell

If you've watched enough pro football over the years the Le'Veon Bell saga in Pittsburgh is a familiar story line. The team's star player is trying to get a new contract and has refused to show up to training camp and practice until he receives what he and his agent believes is a fair offer from the team. Bell, 26, is arguably the best and one of the most utilized running backs in the league. Even on a team with weapons like Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Juju Smith-Schuster, Bell still seems like the engine that makes Pittsburgh's offense go.

You'll often see a quote that goes something like "We wish that he was out here with us but we understand the business side of the game....

Trades in "the Land" restore order in the East

Now that we've had a few days to marinate on last week's NBA trade deadline let's take a look at the aftermath. In case you've been living under a rock, ala Patrick Star, here's everything that went down in the NBA on Thursday. Now that all the paperwork is complete and new jerseys have been printed here's the breakdown of why the Cavs secured the bag even before they beat the brakes off   defeated the Celtics  on national TV Sunday. For much of the season, Cleveland looked old, slow and tired despite sitting comfortably as a top-4 seed in the East. Yet, with a wave of fresh faces, the Cavs are primed to make another Finals run, as opposed to a team who might have lost in the first round. The Cavs acquired Jordan Clarkson, Rodney Hood, George Hill and Larry Nance Jr. at the trade deadline pic.twitter.com/mQNIi0Wszm — Herd w/Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd) February 9, 2018 Cleveland's front office pulled off one of the boldest strategies I've e...
