One time I was waiting for a hot dog at wild waves and some dude is arguing on the phone about their kid pissing their pants at school, I turn around and it's @nate_robinson. Wasn't a great time to ask him if he was Nate Robinson but that didn't stop me lmao
In the Lakers’ first matchup against the Cavaliers in January, Kobe did an amazing job guarding LeBron James. When defended by Kobe, LeBron scored 13 points on 42.9% shooting and had 3 turnovers. Kobe also contested his potential game winner, which missed.
Since the 1996-97 season when the stat was tracked, Kobe Bryant scored the most 2nd half points with 1,479 and the most 4th quarter points with 715. He also has the most 20+ point second halves with 34.
In the last 40 seasons, Kobe Bryant was the only player to have 3 separate streaks with 4 or more consecutive games of 40+ points.
Dec. 28th to Jan. 11th (5 games)
Mar. 3rd to Mar. 8th (4 games)
Mar. 31st to Apr. 7th (4 games)
Kobe recorded 27 games of 40+ points, which is the 9th most in NBA history and a franchise record, and 6 games of 50+ points, which is the 10th most. He is one of five players to have multiple 60+ point performances in a single season.
That year, the league average in scoring was 97.0 PPG, making Kobe the only player to average 35 when league average was below 100 PPG. Only 5 teams averaged at least 100 PPG and Kobe’s team was not one of them.
