Kobe Bryant scored 62 points against the Dallas Mavericks a couple of nights ago. And he did it in 33 minutes. He sat out the entire fourth quarter because the game was out of reach (Lakers won going away). Two things were interesting to me about the big night:
1. No other laker even scored in double figures. This is not a recipe for playoff success. It was just one of those one-off nights, an anomaly. Kobe hit a variety of shots (he takes a variety of shots), and he was 22-25 from the free throw line. He had the SAME number of FGA as he usually does. So he just hit a few more than usual and went to the line a lot. He is on pace to take more than 30% of his team's field goals. I think only two players have ever done that. Jordan is one of them. No idea if they won the championship that year. Also pretty sure that Lamar Odom's Scottie Pippen impression needs some work.
2. After the game Shaq was asked if Kobe was "sending a message." This is the most asinine thing I've heard since Artest publicly demanded a trade. What kind of message was Kobe sending? That he could jack up a boatload of shots and sometimes they go in? Those two guys don't even play the same position. Kobe knows that he will never dunk on the big fella, at least not until he's completely past it or catches him unawares. Message? that is retardo. dear reporters: stop trying to make something out of nothing. I know it's your job, but still. it's stupid. and you know it is.
re: dating - it sucks. that's it and that's all.
