Which is fortunate, because Downtown is blessed with a treasure trove of fun things to do this weekend.

FRIDAY
Kobe Bryant and the detestable Lakers bring Showtime to the Valley for a tussle with Steve Nash, Grant Hill, and that Stoudemire fella Suns fans should be thankful the team didn’t trade away for 50 cents on the dollar.
