Gerald Green, Kobe Bryant and me

Found December 13, 2011 on True Hoop Blog:
PLAYERS: Gerald Green,  Kobe Bryant
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers

Now that the Lakers have signed Gerald Green it's worth remembering the last time Kobe Bryant and Green were on a team together. I was on that team, too. It wasn't a basketball team. It was a Habitat for Humanity work crew, in New Orleans East, on the NBA's first annual NBA Day of Service, on a rainy day not long after Hurricane Katrina in February 2008. And it ended with a very happy young woman moving into her new home -- and a broken hammer.
