Kobe Bryant, once again, Mr. Clutch. Best player in the league with the game winding down, no question about it.
Lakers win. Kobe scores the final 9 points for the Lakers, including another game winning 3. Grizzlies choke. I can't believe how many opportunities they gave us to get back into the game. We missed so many free throws as well. Kobe = clutchest player in the league
Kobe proved why he's the most clutch player in the NBA today. Game winner number 5 on the year. Great way to come back from that injury.
Kobe didn't look rusty, he looked as fresh as ever. Ron Ron had a terrible game offensively, but I was pleased with the way he defended Rudy Gay down the stretch. The team as a whole needs to adjust again, with Kobe back in the lineup. Derek surprised me today. Missed 2 FTs in the clutch, usually he's money in those situations. Pau missed 2 FTs as well, that's 4 points we let slip away, but we were still able to escape with a win. The Grizzlies seriously choked this one away, we shouldn't have won. They had the game on lock, just had to close out.
With the way we ended the first half, I knew a 3rd quarter collapse was imminent. Still surprised we came out with a win. Memphis gave us so many second chances.

Kobe is ridiculous. Can we stop with all the "Would you trade Kobe for Lebron?" threads? Atleast in here......... He doesn't fill up the stat sheet like Lebron does, but he's a flat out winner. The best and most feared player in the NBA.
