Was a percentage of the shot that he made with .6 seconds left just to rub Denver's fan's noses in it!
Nah he just wanted to win the game, but that look he gave the crowd afterwards was priceless. I'm usually pretty adverse to show boating, but after a shot like that- and how they treated him...The crowd deserved what they got.
I'm going to say this as nice as I can "KOBE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE, PERIOD!!". Lebron, Wade etc............Have nothing on this guy. Last night is living proof that this guy is on a whole other level.
I have to agree Kobe is the best, even though Lebron and Wade are still fairly young. Kobe is unstoppable in the clutch and his overall game is awsome.
Of course he felt even better hitting the game winner against the Denver fans. They heckled him and booed him everytime he had the ball in his hands. Go Lakers!
I think there was a sliver of spite in him when he made that shot. Not only did he want to make it to win the game, I think there was a part of him that just wanted to drive a dagger straight through the heart of the obnoxious Denver fans that were booing him all night.
Kobe is by far the most clutchest player in the NBA. Yesterday, was just a sign that Kobe is still the best guard in the NBA. Denver fans mustve felt like idiots after last night's game.
you give it to them kobe. prove all the haters and doubters wrong. hit the game winner and rub it in their face. ok. i got a bit carried away, but that fist pump at the end gave me something i have never felt before watching basketball.
I think the Kobe sucks chant really added the fuel to the fire, the straw that stirred the drink, and what a better way to rip their hearts out, hitting the game winner in a city where everyone depises him? Great entertainment.
