Kobe - 38 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists in a Crucial Win Against Dallas

best player in the game.

Wrong.

But might be the best performance of the week considering the playoff implications, particularly between Dallas and the Lakers who are nearly identical in the standings, and his insane 9-11 in the second half during a very close game.

Very impressed. Ashame the Lakers are having such a bad season, Kobe has had many MVP-like games this season (gotta note he's had many bad games too though).

At 34? Yeah, impressive. Refs were incompetent (for both sides, despite the conspiracy theorizing f u c k boys running around ISH since the Lakers actually started catching a groove), but considering the rest of the team was heavily mediocre today, the Lakers have no shot in hell today without Kobe. Especially in the fourth.

But yeah buddy, best player in the league? LoL. Ever heard of Lebron James or Kevin Durant?

Dude is insanely, ridiculously good.

Seriously, puts up 29+/5+/5/2 on amazing efficiency while leading the league in scoring through the first half of the season. He than completely switches his game up and decides to play PG, which results in a 14 game stretch where he averages 8+ APG. Than he comes back and drops (essentially) back-to-back 40 point games. Just ridiculous.

Nice throwback 4th quarter by Dirk and Kobe with the latter getting the upper hand

Yeah, this season really shows you how great of a player Kobe Bryant really is.

Thank you lord mamba

Amazing performance. I'd not seen his lower jaw extend that far in a while. Watch out NBA, Kobe's on a mission to (under)bite you!

[Jacks3]

Yeah, this season really shows you how great of a player Kobe Bryant really is.

I mean the man is 34 yrs old, 17th season, 53,000+ minutes on his legs.

It's crazy.

[Brunch@Five]

gotta love it when old-timers get at it. Kobe, Nash and Dirk in prime form that game. Vince making plays.

You seem to just post negative things in every thread. Are you even a fan of a team? Or is your life just that boring?

[NBASTATMAN]

The Lakers got some nice help from the Refs but without Kobe's heroics it still winds up as another L.. Kobe was ridonculous today...

[asdf1990]

To bad Kobe can't do this vs non d league defenses
