The King and I witnessed basketball nirvana last night as the Love It Live Tour Bus rolled into the River City. ... Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and I hopped on the playoff ride of our lives last night and nothing could be finer—unless you’re a Lakers fan. ... The Spurs, with fire in their eyes, demolished a dispirited, senseless and selfish Lakers squad. ... Things have changed for both Kareem and me. ... We hail from an era where opponents rarely fraternized. ... In reality we hated each other. ... Now that we’re both approaching the middle 50 years of our lives, we’ve both calmed down considerably and actually are friends now. ... There was certainly nothing friendly, though, in what the Spurs did to the Lakers. ... MVP Tim Duncan led an overpowering performance from the opening tip that saw Bruce Bowen outplay Kobe Bryant. ...
