Lamar Odom: "Kobe Bryant is the best player in the world" just moments ago. They interviewed Smush too and he was pretty much in shock and seemed alot happier about it then he did with the 81.
That was the most desire and determination I've ever seen a player have to get a W. We talk about superstars willing their teams to victories and not letting their teams lose, this was the epitome of that. Haha, at the beginning of the game, "Kobe's due for a good game tonight, I expect to see something tonight." Boy was I right. And my dad midway thru the third, "Kobe's gonna have to score 60 for the Lakers to win the game tonight."

Jarret Jack SHOVED Lamar before Lamar came over and the scuffle happend. Blazers are still a bunch of punks, especially a guy like Randolph. Super star treatment by the refs for Kobe...huh...what game were you watching...Kobe just beat your team pretty much single handedly and was getting hacked downlow. He didn't get any crazy number of free-throws and made some spectacular shots in the grill of the Blazer players.</div>blazers a bunch of punks?!?! Are you still stuck in the early 2000's?? Ime Udoka won the sportsmanship award in the d-league, B-roy and Lamarcus aldridge are some of the nicest players in the league, zach randolph never gets technicals or whines about calls (unlike kobe), and I dont think jarret jack has gotten a tech all year.Odom deliberately waltzed into their huddle during a timeout to trash talk. Id tell him to get the hell out of my huddle too. To say the blazers started this is ridiculous. Yeah he made spectacular shots, im not arguing that, im just pissed that he had to pull an offensive foul on b-roy to hit the overtime-forcing three.btw, theres no way kobes gonna get mvp this year. Didnt get it last year when he dropped 81, isnt gonna get it this year, especially in the wake of a 7 game losing streak.yeah kobe beat the blazers single-handedly, but one on five isnt gonna get your lakers very far for long...

Stop trying to ruin the game and this topic..just drop it. Yeah, Lamar was trash talking AFTER Jack shoved him. Offensive foul to force overtime? Please. Roy flopped, and he didn't complain did he. Kobe is not going to get MVP this year...how can you say there is no chance and back up your statement with last year stats. The fact that is was after a 7 game win streak makes it even better. The guy has the will of God instilled in him haha. You are one to talk about teams going far when your team is the Blazers. Oh and funny, you don't debate me saying Randolph is a punk, because you know he is. I never called Roy or Aldrigde punks so don't trip. I said the 'Blazers are still punks' because of the Blazers in the past and I was exagerating to make a point. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Man this guy is a freak! How can u put up numbers like that and still be human?!?Doing this right in a losing streak makes it that much more dramatic, amazing. :beerchug: :worthy:
The only 2 MVP candidates played a couple days ago in the best game of the season. The guy that'll win it lost, but he will get the award, deservedly.

At least acknowledge Kobe's performance. I know that can be hard for a Suns' fan but you know Kobe played downright amazing tonight. Unhuman.

I've met him in person, and hes actually a charismatic, nice guy.what makes zach a punk, anyway? is it because he was accused of raping someone? Hmm.... sounds similar to a certain star laker...In my opinion, both are innocent and neither are punks.
If the site I got the info is right, Kobe is now #2 and #20(tied with Wilt Chamberlain) on the all-time scoring list.

So what, now Lamar is not allowed to trash-talk. Trash-talking is part of the game...shoving other players is not. LMFAO how is Zach Randolph a punk...well for starters he got caught drag racing, smokes weed 24/7, caught with a gun, and I never even heard about him being accused of rape. Brandon Roy never argues a call..fine...doesn't change the fact he flopped.

Wheather Lamar did "way more than simple trash talk" that gives no right to shove a player. And you still think Zach Randolph is not a punk...well...ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Good Night.
First of all, Kobe is amazing and im not surprised that he did this. Second of all, if Kobe doesn't get the MVP this year, I am going to sh*t a brick. Dirk is having an amazing year, and his team is great. But Dirk couldnt do what Kobe did tonight. He cant take over a game and single handedly lead his team to victory like Kobe did. Kobe is the ONLY player in the league that can what happenned tonight. Wade cant, Lebron cant, and neither can a guy like Tracy. Kobe = Best since MJ and Kobe also should win MVP.

actually...we all saw Wade do it last year in game 5 of the NBA Finals....if you meant Wade couldnt take over a game single-handedly
Kobe will not get MVP okayit's a fact he won't unless the lakers go on a great run towards the end of the season in which I doubt they will do that extremly well, winning players and teams are more likley to get awards eg. dirk, nash, duncan. sorry kobe .. just wait till you get a better supporting cast.
