10 YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS PRIME.

AND HE MIGHT BREAK THAT RECORD.

GOOD GOD I LOVE THIS MAN.

yea but we won that year. i hate seeing us lose like this


but i do want kobe to break the captains hold on the all time scoring list, given that we win 2 more which equals to 7 for the black mamba that is

We didn't win it that year. That was the year Shaq "recovered on company time" and missed most of the early season. Lakers struggled, but Kobe scored a ton. We lost to S.A. in 2nd round.

Spin:
The Lakers are now an astonishing 0-7 this season in games where Bryant has scored 35-plus points, so while it's not a winning formula for his team, Bryant's fantasy owners certainly have nothing to complain about.

WTF is wrong with LA's coaches? He will have no legs going into 2013...and he won't stop shooting but he will stop hitting them. We are about to have a desaster soon.

“Then out of no where, the Lakers called. They wanted me to come in and earn a spot. Once I got that call, it was made up in my mind that I’d be a Laker. I knew I was going to go in there and showcase my talent. Which I did. The very first day I was 1 on 1 partners with Kobe. And we were going at it. [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers.

Everyday I played well and practiced well. Kobe continued to mentor me along the way. The Laker fans embraced me. I just knew I was in.

Then I got a call from Leon (my agent) saying they were going to let me go. They told me I played great. The numbers on the business side just wouldn’t work. It was one of the worst phone calls I’ve ever gotten, but I was at peace because I knew I played my [Swearing is not permitted at Clublakers. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] off. I brought it every day. My motto is “control what you can control” and I did that. That didn’t matter though. Once it got released that the Lakers let me go, the people thought it was due to my game. People had jokes. People wrote me off. It was embarrassing. However, I took positives away from my month with the Lakers too.

I developed a relationship with Kobe Bryant. He showed me how to be a pro. He showed me real work ethic. Playing against him everyday made me so much of a better player. He understood me. He understood that its a difference in having a bad attitude and being competitive and wanting to win every drill/game. One night after a game and we were in the showers and he told me ‘you have no other choice. You were put here to be basketball player. You have to fight until you’re one of them boys. You’re too talented. I played behind mfers that I was better than up until my third year but I KNEW I would be who I am today then. I work too hard not to break through.’

That stuck with me. So I appreciate the opportunity the Lakers gave me. I looked at that month with the Lakers as an internship under Bean. I gained knowledge that I couldn’t have gotten any other way. That’s what I took from that situation. It’s all about how you respond when times are rough.”
