That's it right there - Smush Parker got fouled and headed towards the stripe to complete a 3 point score, Bryant looked towards the Lakers bench w/ a scowl b/c during that one sequence b/c he wasn't passed the ball... No congratulating his teammate nor excited that his team put points on the board...
I'll be checking channel 9, they usually re-play the games.
fox sports west (channel 60 if u got comcast) tomorrow at noon. can't believe i missed this. can't believe a player can score 81 points and i can still dislike him
watching that game must have been S>crazy/S> boring.
AI all day.
Come off it. If AI had scored 81, you wouldn't be saying the same thing.
true this. but I like AI.
I'll admit I'd like to see the game. I know when Wilt had his 100 pointer, they were basically all just dishing him the ball in order for him to make the record. Sounds like Kobe was up against some real defense on this one, though.

Oh, no... the Knicks were doing everything they possibly could do to stop Wilt, believe that. They were just a bunch of little gumps trying to stop Goliath- they couldn't do it. Pretty much the same thing with Kobe against those mighty T-Dot Raptors, except where Wilt was way bigger than his opponents Kobe is just way more skilled- either way, it's no contest.
Kobe is obviously one of the most egocentric team-sport athletes ever (outside of T.O. and some of the current crop of NFL recievers, of course). But I don't care... to be able to put up 81 in a modern day NBA game??? That schitt is CRAZY. You can't really hate, because he put the Lakers on his back and won that game single-handedly. He's gonna make sure that when it's all said and done he'll be right up there with Jordan and Chamberlain when you talk about the greatest ever. Maybe even above them if he wins a few more titles.
Ya'll need to give it up to my Raptors for helping this happen
This is what the call "positive spin". You a rebel on this post, Moss!
Back to Phill: I don't know if I'd put Kobe in the T.O. category of egocentrism (not like he's Mr. Humility or anything) but I always thought that Shaq had a far higher public opinion of himself.
Like some others, my main issues with Kobe are 1) skating on the rape charge (everything about that case, on all sides, seemed suspect and 2) him forcing out both Jackson and Shaq only to realize, ok, maybe we did need Jackson after all.
81 pts is pretty crazy but so is the fact that, for almost all this season, the Clippers have lead the Lakers. Provided, we're not halfway yet and the Clippers, when not manning the basement, have at least proven the power to disappoint...
Nonetheless, if the Lakers miss the playoffs, will Kobe's achivements mean much?
I never understood all the hating on Kobe (excluding the alleged rape and admitted adultery!!). From what I remember, he had nothing to do with Phil Jackson leaving, and as far as Shaq is concerned, I think it was basically mutual in that neither player wanted to play with eachother anymore. And can you blame Kobe? Shaq dominates, but he is lazy as hell. Kobe plays like a man possessed at all times, and on top of that, busts his ass in the offseason. F*ck Shaq as a team leader, he doesn't work hard enough. And as far as Kobe being selfish with the ball...have you ever seen AI play?? I'm not criticizing either, they both shoot a lot cause they have to. AI isn't giving the rock up to Samuel Dalembert, just like Kobe doesn't wanna pass up a shot to Luke Walton.

I mentioned it to my wife who's a big basketball fan - her reply was "show's you how bad the Lakers are".
For real though, without Kobe they'd be assed out.
AI all day.
Oh well, as long as it works.

F*ck team ball when you can drop 81 and secure your place in the history books.
still, 81 points is pretty facemelting.
YES, PHOTOSHOP TIME WELL SPENT.
even though I hate Kobe for letting his petty bullshit fuck up our team....
DAMN, 81.
Im not mad at that.
Come off it. If AI had scored 81, you wouldn't be saying the same thing.
I'm not a big Kobe fan but shit man, 81 POINTS. Haters fall back.
