He only had 2 assists and shot the ball 46 times. He's a ballhog. Not even Jordan shot that many times when he scored 50, and he had like 6-7-8 assists still.
<span style="font-family:Arial">KyleOrton18, just shut up now, please.Did you even watch the game? I highly doubt it. LA was down, by 15+ points most of the first half. Odom was playing like crap, and nobody really stepped up. What would you have done? Layed down and just died? No. Kobe's killer instinct kicked in, and he took over the game, enough to get his team the win. I agree, he was a ball hog, but who else was going to step up? Nobody. You can't blame him, he did what he had to do.</span>
I personally don't like Kobe Bryant, never had. He shot it about 46 times I think, that shows that he doesn't have any faith in anyone in his team, it's not that he's a ball hog it's that he doesn't trust no body other then himself on his team.
<span style="font-family:Arial">HandZ, Michael Jordan shot 49 times against the Magic in '93, and was also close when he dropped 69 against Cleveland. I don't think you can say he didn't trust Pippen, or Kerr to hit jumpers, or drive to the basket, he way just on fire, and wanted the ball every time down the court because nobody could stop him. That's the same w/ Kobe, although he doesn;t have the teammates Jordan had, he just didn't think he could be stopped, and it was a good thing his tea kept getting him the ball.</span>

Oh boy........and it had to be against the Raptors too. Lol......the Raptors had 2 great defenders on him too. Mo Pete and Joey Graham. Just one of those nights where everything goes in. I don't like Kobe though. This one part of the game.....Smush Parker drove to the net and got fouled and was shooting 2. Kobe was upset because he didn't get the ball! IT DOESN'T MATTER.....YOUR TEAM STILL GOT 2 POINTS!!! What a ballhog. (This was when he had around 40-something.)

What a ballhog. Okay look.......they have Lamar Odom, who's an amazing player.......who didn't get a FG until God knows when because he didn't get any shots......they have Smush.....who's an All-Star in the making I believe.....and Kobe gets pissed at him.......they have Kwame.......he might be a bust.......but he is the number one pick for God's sake....he does have some skill.....and Mihm.....who was having a good game.....so, they could've made a run and won the game if Kobe didn't score 81 and passed the ball around. Kobe = ballhog.

Ok game. If he wouldn't of missed any of his shots he would've had 155. Now that would be a good game.
<span style="font-family:Arial">That was just an "ok" game? Are you blind, do you know basketball? If I had to guess, I'd say no. That's just too funny, just an ok game?And Ortiz, you're saying that like you're making a new point, and trying to put his game down because he was a ball hog. WE ALREADY STATED THAT. Haters..</span>
