launchpad67a Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 The Los Angeles Lakers' star scored a staggering 81 points Sunday night against the Toronto Raptors in a 122-104 win. Only Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game stands ahead of him. WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physics23 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I know, this guy is phenomenal. I wish I could see the games. But what makes a talented player into a real superstar is his contribution to the team's overall performance. The Lakers are only seventh in the West, even behind the Clippers.

anagramking Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 When someone told me it happened, I said, 'Okay, 30-100 from the floor, and 21-25 from the line? Of course, he shot much better than that in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry has already been discussed enough, so I won't address that. But Kobe, come on now. Is this really a guy to root for? Yes, a fine performance, but Kobe is still a piece of shit as far as I'm concerned. He single handedly destroyed the Lakers with his antics. Amazing that the Laker front office was dumb enough to trade Shaq instead of let Kobe sign with the Clippers. Now we know the real reason the Lakers won three titles recently. This crap never would have happened if Jerry West was still in charge there. Kobe could score 120 points and I wouldn't get too excited, either.

If they happen to make it to the Final's, which I highly doubt, they wouldn't stand chance against the Piston's. Even if they still had Shaq.

Indica Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 If Bonds hit 5 homers on opening day people would be talking shit about him too. Same thing, if people hate you then it doesn't matter how great you are, they will talk shit. If I played sports I would want people to talk shit about me because it usually means you are a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were cool guys I'm sure. I'm not saying those other guys aren't assholes. But there's a lot of assholes in sports and you only really hear about the ones who are really good. No one cares about someone hitting .210 with 2 homers or a second string QB in football or a no name guy in hockey. The better they are the more often you see people hating them. Then the better they get the more you hear. No matter if they changed their attitude or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushtopher Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Kobe is actually shooting better than anyone in the history of basketball this season. look at the way he scores two sometimes three on him and he still shoots over and its nothing but net. In the game he had 81 only three shots were slams three layups he shot almost 60% from the feild . and from the cherry stripe he is automatic He is amazing your right he isnt Michael Jordan His name is Kobe Bryant and he is the best player one on one in Basketball since Jordan. Jordans story is amazing yet it has been told. Kobe is starting to tell his own and a guy that works as hard as he does deserves to be the next great thing in basketball. go ahead think he`s an asshole . Yet if he were on my team and i wanted to win ......i would pass him the ball ....and hope he would shoot it everytime. The guy is that good .
