Kobe Bryant 42 points Christmas Day 2004-05 *Shaq's return*

http://www.nba.com/games/20041225/MIALAL/boxscore.html
Although the Lakers lost this game, Kobe showed an awesome display of quickness to the basket, shooting, and his perfected bank shot. The video ends with Kobe missing a tough GW shot from way beyond the arc. The Heat tried D-Wade, Eddie Jones, and a few other defenders on Kobe without too much luck. Finally, Kobe fatigued in the mid 4th quarter to the end of OT.

@kanguesso Thank you sir for not being an ignorant Kobe fan. I swear people think of him as a god.

[kanguesso]

@TaylorAA23 I agree 100%. And i am a laker fan who loves kobe. We all know what kobe can do without a legitimate superstar big man, and that is missing the playoffs or getting bounced in the very first round. He's never carried a team to the tittle without a superstar big man guiding him. The kobe fanatics will damn near kill you for pointing these things out. Even Lebron carried a bunch of nobodies to the finals, Iverson did it, Kobe has NEVER DONE IT, EVER.

Kobe is just a glorified T-Mac. If Kobe didnt have his hand heldby Pau or Shaq, there would be no titles for him in the past decade

that's all

OVERRATED FAGGOTS

REally awesome performance by K.B but it was poetic justice that although Kobey out shine (granted that Shaq was on the downside of his career) Shaq dat Shaq would pick up the "W". Tha's just confirm & validated the tandem of perhaps the most lethal combos the leauge has ever seen as war (as Big & Guard combo) that although it was Kobey talent was undeniable it was Shaq who always prevailed with the recognition for the "W" in the end. Tha's what made that tandem dat much more intriguing 2 watch

@2pacisthebest90 Yeah but Jordan is the best.
