Score

"There's an illusion of team play in place...so none of the Lakers realize that Kobe [Bryant] is the wolf from Teen Wolf and they're basically "The Other Guys"
-Bill Simmons

Kobe scored 81 points last night. Wow. I need to go home and watch Sportscenter tonight. It was one thing when Wilt scored 100. He was a huge center. They didn't make guys like Wilt back then. Or guys like Wilt didn't know they should be playing basketball. But from a shooting guard? 81 points! I have spread a lot of Kobe hate over the years but that is just amazing.

On the other side, how useless does the rest of the Lakers feel? I mean they only scored 41 points. The whole team. Seriously. It was like that episode of The Fresh prince of Bel-Air when Will joined the basketball team and the coach's whole strategy was "Pass the ball to Will". But that wasn't even the case because the Lakers only had 18 assists as a team (Lamar Odom had 7 of them) so Kobe was creating a majority of those shots himself.

Like, why even come to work? After a game like that, the players should be coming up to him like...

Lamar: Hey Kobe. Great game.
Kobe: Thanks. Hey, you had some great passes there. I couldn't have done it without you.
Lamar: Yeah right. Listen me and the guys were talking.
Kobe: Yeah?
Lamar: Do you want to sleep with any of our wives or girlfriends tonight?
Kobe: What?!?
Lamar: No really. Any one of them. The way we figure it, the only reason we got girlfriends and wives like we do is because we're basketball players. But tonight, I feel like I didn't earn the right to climb into that bed. So, have at it. Get to 100 points on us.
Kobe: Um...no thanks. But thanks man. Maybe next time.
Lamar: Sure.

Or something like that...
