Kobe Bryant Drops 81 at Gregor Smith

Kobe Bryant drops 81 on the Toronto Raptors, the second highest scoring performance in NBA history. Depending on your point of view on Kobe it’s a fantastic individual performance or it’s proof he’s nothing but an egotistical ball hog who tries to shoot every shot for the Lakers…

Maybe that’ll shut up some of the snipers…

I think “ball hog” covers it.

Look at the entire team score: 122, so Kobe scored 2/3 of the ENTIRE score.

Take into account that he had 2 assist – TWO! He’s a guard, not a Forward or Center, so he’s not meant to be the front man.

Now look at the rest of the team’s points:
Parker – 13 points
Mihm – 12 points
Odom – 8 points
Brown – 8 points

Does this smack of a team player? There may be no “I” in “team”, but for Kobe, there’s definitely a “ME” :P
