Remembered the last time Kobe guaranteed a win in the playoffs? He went 4-20 and his Lakers lost that game by 15 to Detroit. Ironically it was a game 3 too.
Yeah it was something very close to that. I remembered because I was watching with my Laker friend. I remembered him telling me "Some guarantee!" LOL. I cherished that day.
Okay stand corrected... It was a guarantee for game 4. Kobe shot 8/25 and scored 20 points. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=240613008
4 of 13 actually. So beautiful. http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200406100DET.html Gosh, Payton was horrible in those playoffs.
OMG, I am actually really wrong. I just found a Laker's forum archive and it was June 15th, when Kobe guaranteed a win. That was game 5. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=240615008 Kobe's box score: 24 points, 7-21 shooting, 3 turn overs.
That choke artist has choked his way to 5 rings, moron. And he'll always have better knees than Brandon Roy ;]
Shaq won Kobe's first three and Artest saved Kobe's ass last season: Horrible shot against Suns. Artest gets rebound. Then Game 7 vs Cs?? Biggest game of his career? 6 of 24 shooting. Artest made shots and saved the day for Kobe. Oh and Kobe choked at the end of game 1 on Monday. Perfect look at the game winner. Clank! Team in 0-2 hole cuz he can't handle the pressure.
Yeah I've noticed that too. I think the last time it was really aparent was the interview on TNT. Talking about their swagger and shit.
