    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post"><div class="quote_poster">Quoting "truemaster14":</div><div class="quote_post">are you crazy i will put money on kobe asking phil to let him play.</div>

    Kobe is not that kind of player...he wants to win and will do anything to get W's.Phil Jackson was the one who told him to score more points to help the team that would get more wins and he has done that

    .He does what is asked of him...he doesn't care about getting the most points if you ever see him in interviews or speak to him he is all about winning rather than getting 30 a game..mcgrady he is very good yes but certainly likes to have the stats more so as he knows he has nothing else on the team so he does it all himself.He needs to trust his team-mates more like kobe had to do when shaq was out.</div>

    wow that was dumb kobe just says that, hes cocky and wants points and stats.

    Great STATS once again by T-Mac 35 / 11 / 6, but once again the Magic lose. Unless T-Mac's on your fantasy b-ball league he ain't helping any team win.

    T-Mac shot 13-31. What's worse is his teammates didn't get a chance to produce.

    Mike Miller ONLY 7 shot attempts in 26 minutes
    Darrell Armstrong ONLY 7 shots in 35 minutes
    Pat Garrity ONLY 11 shots in 43 minutes

    Those 3 players combined had less shot attempts than T-Mac. All 3 are more than capable of scoring, but they aren't getting a chance.

    Kobe is on a pretty crazy streak I agree, but really, what about the players that's been doing good day in and day out? I'm talking about Kevin Garnett. That guy is good even though he doesn't have a ring yet.

    His stats: 22.2 / 13 / 5.7
    Kobe's : 29.2 / 7.1 / 6.6

    Kobe is #1 in triple doubles (5) and Garnett is #2 with 3, However, Garnett is #1 in double doubles with 41 (out of 51 possible games) and Kobe is #12 with 20. Oh, and Kobe is also #3 in most TPG (Turnovers).

    At this point, nobody can touch Kobe obviously, but overall, KG is as good if not better than Kobe as an all around player. Him and Tmac actually but let's not go to another Tmac vs Kobe discussion..

    olskool, I was referring at this point, as in, this month or week or whatever. Just for the short period of time that he's on fire, I'm not talking about the whole year.

    It's the concept of TEAM that has the Lakers winning. T-Mac doesn't trust his teammates yet. Once he learns to do that the Magic will start winning.

    If Lakers coach Phil Jackson is unhappy with Kobe Bryant's recent one-man scoring show, he has only himself to blame. Bryant is just following orders.

    "Phil gave me simple instructions," Bryant said Thursday. "He wanted me to put the ball in the hole. When he tells me that, I just try to do it to the best of my abilities."

    For a seventh game in a row, Bryant scored more than 35 points Wednesday, hitting a season-high 51 against Denver before leaving the game after the third quarter. In his previous games, he had scored 40, 38, 42, 35, 46 and 42, becoming the first to score as often over a similar stretch since Michael Jordan in 1988.

    "He's 'The Little Historical,'" Shaquille O'Neal said. "Why? Because he's little, he's playing well and making history."

    O'Neal, who has taken a back seat offensively the past seven games, sees no reason to change things.

    "Right now, he's in a zone, and when a guy is in a zone, you don't try and put wraps on him," O'Neal said.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "Alley-oop":</div><div class="quote_post">At the moment he is good. But will it continue...</div> exactly he's just having a few good games. we've seen people like Pierce and AI have streaks like that but did they get anywhere? no.

    His every game is really good,this streak is something great.

    All the great players who played for the Lakers...Jerry West,Wilt Chamberlain,Shaquille O Neal,Kareem Abdul Jabbar,Magic Johnson,James Worthy..etc
    Weel Jerry West is the only player who scored 40+ points 13 times in one season.

    Guees how many times Kobe scored 40+ points so far?

    Like I said Kobe is great but I want this team to play better

    Hes definetly a great scorer bu Id say from the look of the spurs game he should start trying to actualy start think not about his numbers but about whats going to get his team a win. 44 points is great. but on FORTY ONE SHOTS?? not to mention 7 turnovers!
