Further proof that the Lakers are not a contender

Tonight Kobe has 49 points and the 3rd quarter isn't up yet the Lakers are losing the the Raptors. This only further proves that they aren't a contender despite those who have suddenly jumped on the Kobe bandwagon. Even if the Lakers do come back to win this game, it will take Kobe scoring at least 60... if he has to score that much to beat the Raptors, I can only imagine him trying to score that many against a team like the Spurs or the Pistons.

How about now?

It doesn't matter if they win. There's no way in hell he could score this many points against a decent defender like Bowen or Tayshaun Prince. I only say it because some people seem to think they're contenders..

Why would he try to score 81 points against Bowen or Prince? I'm sure he'd still put up 30 and find other ways to contribute. Nothing he does against the Spurs or the Pistons will really matter, those teams are just flat out better.

Are you one of those who believe the Cavaliers are a contender?

i thought there was a Lakers thread already. There are about 6 threads invovling the team or it's players, 2 about Bryant's big scoring nite

How about now?

. He was so burned that it isn't even funny anymore.

The Lakers may not be a contender.. but Kobe is! For MVP

lol kobe vs. detroit in the finals!!!

You're right Sit. He made me proud at school again.

i think that the lakers need a player which is a contender like kobe

They do have a player which is a contender like kobe... Kobe

KOBE 4 MVP

If Kobe is to be MVP....the MVP will be a ballhog that doesnt really pass and just take stupid shots sometimes

If Kobe is to be MVP... i would be masterbating right now....oh wait...crap..

regardless of hatred towards the lakers you have to be in complete awe of what he has done. There have been other ballhog-type players like Allen Iverson and they never did what Kobe did. That's why I think Kobe Bryant is MVP this year...if you put up 62 points and 81 points in about 33 days you are simply not human. Is Kobe Bryant a robot?

Answer...= yes. he is charged before every game

There have been other ballhog-type players like Allen Iverson and they never did what Kobe did.

Yep exactly. Iverson's career high shot attempts is 42... 4 short of what Kobe took for his 81, yet Iverson's career high is 60 and that wasn't even in the same game as his 42 shot game. Jordan's career high is 49, yet his career high points scored is 69... yet again, not even in the same game.

Any fool with a headband can launch 40+ shots but that doesn't mean they're going to do what Kobe's done.

Not that MJ and Iverson are fools... I'm sure some deluded European will misinterpret that

i wanna see birdman launch 40 shots...

i would love to see that

Wait for the dunk comp, I'm sure he'll give it a go.

He nearly did last time. He'll probably have a smashing encore this time.

lol i remember that dunk contest...i think birdman attempted like 16 or so dunks before finally nailing it. i think it was the one where he threw it from the halfcourt area and chased it down.
