I love Laker fans. Yay Kobe! We love you! Thanks for getting rid of Shaq and using our team to dick around and score points!

Are you being sarcastic?

Not shooting you, i just watched the highlights and saw all the laker fans going crazy. apparently its a good thing that he got rid of shaq just so he could score 40 points a night.

Kobe has an innate ability to score. Kobe just can't help it. Hence the entire Eagle Colorado incident.

I can't wait to see how big Kobe's head gets after this game. Kobe was loveable when he was young. He played as a team-member and helped the Lakers win. Then he started to pout as the true-brat Kobe came through and broke up what could have been one of the greatest dynasties of professional sports.

81 points isn't the amazing part. The fact he shot above 50% is.

I could score 81 points if I got to take 47 shots.

The Raptors suck balls. I bet there are Special Olympics teams that play more stout defense than the Raptors.

what was in the air tonight? Sonics and Suns combine for 300 points.

Somewhere, Chuck Daly is having a heart attack.

 

[supermario86]

whats even more amazing is he had a really good shooting percentage. kobe's performance tonight was beyond jordan like.

 

[jlb1705]

I hope there's a special place in hell reserved for Bryant where every team (including his own) is coached by Jeff Van Gundy and the four corners offense is legal.

If "beyond Jordan-like" means "Instead of making my teammates better, I'll just jack up more shots than anyone thought humanly possible", then yeah, it was beyond Jordan-like.

People in South Africa don't really know much about the NBA and it really hampers me in teaching applied statistics (which I sometimes do). You see the problem is that it is so much easier to define the null set as "other egos that Kobe Bryant recognizes as having worth" and infinity as "the limit of Kobe Bryant's ego". I mean, I just can't think of other examples that powerful. :tongue2:
