Kobe Bryant greatest games: 33pts in 2nd half @Orlando (1999)

(1999) "The Magic touch"
The Lakers team from 1999 included Shaq, Kobe, Rice & Rodman. But in Shaq 1st game back at Orlando, L.A was unable to play well in the 1st half, trailing by 20pts. Then, here came Kobe! KB put on a show in the 2nd half, hitting his first seven shots. For the 1st time I guess, we watched how good Kobe really was. Carrying his team, he scored 33 of his 38pts in the 2nd half on 13/15 shooting! Back to these days, it was Kobe "1st career high". And of course, leading L.A to a great came back, Kobe definitely had the magic touch.

Kobe is not past his prime, his game has just changed with age. He can still score when he wants, whenever he wants.

@BodyHeatQ Kobe is not a substitute he is the IT guy too. MJ who?

[BodyHeatQ]

mj was a cultural icon, he was IT back then, he was the Beatles, kobe is zeppelin, not the greatest ever but a damn good substitute

@utfanatic2000 Kobe has been to the finals 7 times in his career and won 5 of them, that's average? Then Dirk is got to be mediocre compared to Kobe.

@xsalvioutlawx nope, you don't know basketball. Kobe's been past his prime since 2008/09. a player that's been in the NBA for 15 seasons is not prime, regardless of who it is & how great that player still performs.

@PinpjJ10205 Why do u call me stupid?

[PinpjJ10205]

@retardopose I was just making my point that MJ is the greatest, that's all. Stupid.

[retardopose]

@PinpjJ10205 they are all lakers, can MJ be on a list of the best lakers?

[AmmoakaMomentum]

Kobe is the best!

[PinpjJ10205]

@RTR9 MJ above all of them.

@utfanatic2000

ok well im telling you, stats are deceiving, and i never said anything about kobe or jordan.

but i do agree with you on all of your points, except im just gunna throw in that kobe is a better 3pt shooter than jordan, while taking more shots from the arc, which may skew kobes regular fg percentage down a bit.

but yeah i do not disagree that there is absoutely nothing wrong with being the closest thing to jordan, since jordan.
