Wow, turns out we've got some real homers on this board.
The man just scored 81 freaking points. On one hand people say everyone on the Lakers but Kobe sucks and on the other they say he's a real ballhog. Hello? This doesn't make sense.
Give the man his props. What an incredible individual show. I never thought I'd see a player score more than 80 points in a game in this era. Unbelievable.

Eh, I'm going to contest #3: I don't think that we were lucky to beat the Lakers, any more than I think that we we've been "lucky" to beat the Clippers, or "lucky" to beat to Suns. Or that the Jazz were "lucky" to sweep the Pistons. There's a such a thing as matchups, and it's quite possible that we beat the Lakers because we match up well against them.

Heh, think the OTHER way around. Too bad for the Suns/Sonics. They put up a hek of a show, and Kobe has to grand-stand and take away all the buzz with his modern-day-record-breaking-performence 
81pts on 46 shots is TREMENDOUS.
And to do it in a game that was competitive for the first 40min is also amazing.
In any case this crosses that line -- if you can't tip your hat to this, then you've got a real problem. A one man throwback game. Scored more points than our whole TEAM did yesterday. In overtime. In fact would have singlehandedly beat us or Orlando in regulation.
Nobody has approached something like this in 30 years.

His performance tonight transcends petty little differences like what jersey he's wearing.
I've asked you before - please don't make the same mistake as some others around here. Taunting isn't cool; and in this case it certainly doesn't do anything except diminish what Bryant accomplished. You're on a Kings board. We're also NBA fans, and for that reason we will acknowledge Kobe's accomplishment.

Holy crappers.. I usually watch or scan thru the games tonight but I saw Lakers vs Raptors and others and yawned.. then hours later I check the boxscores and can't believe my eyes. I hate Kobe like no other, but a show is a show. It didn't take long after that 62 pt game for him to redeem himself--how crazy does that sound--and actually satisfy the NBA nation by playing all the way til the end on this one, but it was warranted. Congrats to all his fantasy owners tonight lol.
Pleaze. Lamar Odom being an Eeeediot (as Ren Hoak would say) is what won that game for Sacto. He runs the clock down like any non-idiot, non-Clipper draftee does 999 out of 1000 times and they're up 4 w/ 8 secs even if they don't get a shot off. You don't see that type of move even if the guy is TRYING to point shave. He pulled a Leon Lett.
That's not to say you don't match up well with LA, but that win was a gift. Please do something like that next time you play the Lakers.
