Mr. Research and I are back from holidays and it’s only fitting we begin 2015 with the quote of the year in 2014. Nick Young of the Los Angles Lakers said this after his team, minus a “resting” Kobe Bryant, spanked the high-flying Golden State Warriors: “Some guys just played like ‘Django Unchained’ — they were free tonight.” And what to say upon Bryant’s return? “Pretty much going to have to tell Kobe to pass me the ball, pass us the ball,” Young said. “Tell him to take the backseat for a little bit. He can be ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ and I can be Miss Daisy and drive.”
