It’s Nothing Monumental
Posted on January 29, 2008
Kobe Bryant played a stellar game against New York tonight. But with 9:06 left in the 4th quarter, the Lakers found themselves down 100-91. So Kobe turned it up a notch.
In the final 9+ minutes, Kobe hit all 5 of his shots, handed out 3 assists, and added a block for good measure. During that time, the Lakers went from being down by as much as 9 to winning by 11.
Had this been LeBron James, fans of The (prematurely anointed) King would be on here proclaiming his greatness, claiming that in a single game he had dethroned Kobe.
But for Kobe Bryant, this was nothing monumental. It was just business as usual, another day in the life of the best — and still most clutch — player in basketball.
