Kobe's 61: An MSG Record



People have wondered if Kobe can lead his team to another championship. Granted, he's won 3. But he had the help of Shaq to assist him in his 3-peat history from 2000-02. Now with Shaq gone, people have thought that Kobe has lost his dominance in terms of leading his team back to the promise land........until last night. Kobe Bryant has just broken a Madison Square Garden Record for most points scored by a player in an individual outing wit 61. He single-handedly took a game against the knicks and made it his, and only his. The Lakers would go on to win the contest 126-117 as he and Pau Gasol combined for a whopping 92 points, three quarters of the total amount scored by LA. Although Bynum is hurt again for the remainder of the season, Kobe has certainly stepped up his game and dominated to the surprise of no one. MVP!MVP!MVP!

  1. NO MVP!!! not for Kobe. i agree with you but look at his stats compared to LeBron's just last night... big difference... LeBron had a triple double while Kobe had 61-o-7 (points-rebounds-assists). and i do give him credit for the 61 points he scored but if leBron can score 52 with 11 dishes and and 10 rebounds kobe can do the same. All Kobe did in my eyes was cherry pick (wait for the ball and score... no offense except scoring) oh well being that is my opinion MVP goes to Lebron james or Dwight Howard or Devin Harris (maybe... not really... what am i saying... no Devin Harris)
