Kobe Is Sick!

[Warham]

I'm listening to the Lakers game right now. He's got 55 with 5+ minutes left to go in the 4th.

He's the 4th player in NBA history to score 50+ in three straight games. He's probably going to get 60, so he'll have done that twice in a week.

Sick, just sick.

[Warham]

He's had 65, 50 and 60 the last three games.

Where was he all year when I needed him?

I honestly think Philip and Kobe agreed that he would "work within the triangle" until there was no choice but to win any way possible.

I mean, how many games this year did Kobe go into the last 5 minutes of the 1st half with 4 or 5 points?

Sure he had some assists, but it didn't make much sense then or now.

Nice to see that his knee is better.

What was that Phil quote early in the year...something about Kobe never going to be the player he was above the rim?

Hilarious. Classic Phillup

[Warham]

His knee really was a mess earlier. He's the most explosive offensive player in the league even with a knee that's 80%.

[Romeo Delight]

I really like his competitiveness.

For me, there are a few that compete like no others:

Kobe, Nash, Wade, Dirk, Lebron

Guys like Arenas can have a good night but lack that intangible quality, well not intangible, but character.

Arenas is nothing more than another Vince Carter. To talk about him for MVP is laughable

Hate the bastard because he's a Laker, but I gotta give him his respect.....best player in the game.

I would say, based on the last 2 months or so that that would go to Amare or Lebron.

What about all this happening right after Phil takes one for Kobe with his "Witch-hunt" comments and knowing he would be fined by the league?

Maybe Kobe is inspired by someone...anyone showing him some support.

Discuss!

Possibly. But definitely not the best guy in the game.

[Romeo Delight]

Who cares?

I like guys like Nash (humanitarian and all) but this is about being a champion on the court.

Kobe is an assassin

[Fairwrning]

Pass the fuckin ball, man....

[Romeo Delight]

To who?

He did that all year and where did that get him?

They were about to miss the playoffs without Kobe's effort.

He played within the triangle long enough.

I watched games this year and I couldn't believe how unselfish Kobe was.

It got them nowhere - especially when they had injury problems.

He should shoot 25-30 shots every night

[Fairwrning]

So..basically the rest of the Lakers shouldn't be wearing the uniform...

[Romeo Delight]

Well, play harder and man up, basically.

This isn't high school where the B team makes sure everyone gets to play and take shots.

Man up and ball or give the rock to someone who can.

The Lakers need better players. Odom is Ok, but hurt. Luke is a good sixth man. Bynum might be good one day.

Every one else blows
