Kobe Bryant was fouled hard in the third quarter of the all-star game Sunday night by Dwayne Wade, resulting in what was today diagnosed as a broken nose.
He broke Jordan's record for the most points scored all-time in the all-star game, ending the nght with 271 points total in 14 all-star appearances.
He came out on fire, shooting 6-7 from the field with two three pointers. He finished with 27 points on 9-17 from the field, 7-8 free throws, with an array of three-pointers, lay-ups, dunks, fadeaway jumpers..........the whole works.
Another great performance from Kob.......although Kevin Durant did his thing and got the MVP.
But Kobe playing through injury again shows his toughness, while Lebron James passing up on a chance to win the game at the end again shows his fear.
The author of this article works for the lakers, so he is understandably favorable toward kobe, as am I, making something out of a record that really means nothing.
I like how you pointed out the inherent bias the reporter faced when writing that article.
ReplyDeletei agree that the record means nothing, but to the basketball ball world it means plenty
ReplyDeleteI think they made such a big deal about the record because it was Jordan and everyone compares Jordan to Kobe all the time and for Kobe to pass one of his records I guess they're saying "ohhhh noo, Kobe's getting closer to becoming better than Jordan".
