Kobe & The Lakers on Martin Luther King Day games

Had some memorable matchups on this day in recent years

2011
Last year vs OKC, coming in to this game on how OKC were the greatest thing since sliced bread and we pulled out a close 101-94 win. Kobe with 21/7/5 and Ron held Durant to 8/24 shooting

A couple of great highlight reel plays







2010

vs Magic

Not a great game by Kobe 4/19 FG but Shannon Brown with 22 huge points off the bench



2009

vs Cavs

Kobe beats Lebron at home. Ariza played great D on Bron in the 2nd half. Kobe's line was sick 20/6/12



2008

vs Nuggets

Fisher with 28 points Kobe with another sick line 17/5/11



2007

vs Heat

Kobe and Wade went mano a mano. Brian Cook with 25/10 and 3 blocks I couldn't find game highlights but here's one



and yea lots of BS fouls favoring Wade but Lakers outlast them in OT




2006

Vs Heat

This is the grand daddy of them all. Kobe seething from the Christmas day loss to the Shaq, torches Posey, Wade, Payton, whoever guarding him for 37 points, 13/24 FG



And of course Bynum vs Shaq




So tomorrow's much anticipated game vs Dallas we might see a big game from Kobe, a big game from someone you don't expect and hopefully a Laker win.

We've won the last 6. And Kobe seems to be a giving mood on this day

Awesome compilation here Rock.

This'll be a fun game. I'm excited.

I thought Bynum vs Shaq game was on Christmas.

good work, rock. mavs have rounded into form a bit, even without odom. should be a really good game.

i definitely enjoyed the game against the Magic 2 years ago

Hey first post here, I'm going to the game tomorrow and was wondering how come lakers aren't wearing white? I thought its Sunday's and holidays?

Go lakers!

Looks like you had an awesome view Blake.

well thats 7 wins in a row now on MLK day, a big game from someone you didnt' expect lol

So basically MLK day has to be on Christmas day ...

So we have one all of the MLK Day games for the last 6 years!?

WOW.

Bump

We're 7-0 on MLK day games coming into tonight's vs the Bulls. Last time we lost was in 05 vs the Jazz when Kobe was out


Hers how last years game went if you forgot

Looks like those were all home games

^ yea they were!

this year is a year of breaking streaks.. and not in a good way. first time in 6 years we lost 5 in a row on the road, first 6 game losing streak since 2007, only team to score 100+ against the raptors and lose, etc. probably gonna lose tomorrow too.

Basically. Anything you hope DOESN'T happen to this team has pretty much happened so far

Well, I had a dream.....
