What a wingspan...Bynum above the box on 01-04-08

A teenager Laker doing the things he does in the NBA? He was only 17 years old when he entered. I was still throwing water balloons and egging friends when I was 17.

His development is remarkable....his work-ethic is optimal....and his master is one of the greatest (Jedi Kareem)....I can't wait until young 'Drew becomes the next Laker Jedi Master...and one of the best Center's in NBA History (...I said it here first)!

...it's only a matter of time.

Big Shot Rob....ahh, the memories!

I was at a wedding when most of the dudes started yelling and jumping around during the actual ceremony vows....usually quite inappropriate...not when "Big Shot Rob" Horry's hitt'n a game winner to send the Sacramento "Queens" packing.

At the reception, the best man toasted to the Lakers winning a championship in the NBA Finals to complete an impressive 3-Peat Dynasty.

Time to reminisce...

81 Points in a single game!

Yup, done by none other than Numero Ocho, Kobe Bryant. It was a great send-off to Kobe's #8 jersey (the last year we'd see him wear this). I'm wondering what will happen when the Laker Organization decides to retire Kobe's number(s)....#8 AND #24?...both? We'll have to wait and see.

...never thought I'd see this in today's modern day NBA game. 81 points in a single game was history and it was a joy to watch.

Prior to this, the NBA single game scoring leader board looked something like this (I know this is probably not 100% accurate):

1. Wilt Chamberlain
2. Wilt Chamberlain
3. Wilt Chamberlain
4. Wilt Chamberlain
5. Wilt Chamberlain
6. Wilt Chamberlain
7. Elgin Baylor
8. Wilt Chamberlain
9. Micheal Jordan
10. David Robinson
    

But now the leader board looks like this:

1. Wilt Chamberlain
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Wilt Chamberlain
4. Wilt Chamberlain
5. Wilt Chamberlain

Kobe single-handedly defeated the Toronto Raptors on January 22nd, 2007. Notice the score in the video below....the Lakers were losing most of the game. Have no fear...Kobe is here.

All 81 points...in its magnificent totality. The "Kobe Counter" is in the bottom left hand corner of the video.

0.4 seconds....

What can you do in 0.4 seconds...


D Fish...what can you say. All was good in Lakerdom!

The image is priceless!
