I know ti is fun to make fun of Kobe...but he did what was necessary for the team.
The team won. At the end of the day, thats really all that matters. He carried the team to victory. it's kind of silly that people hatred for a certain player, or a select group of players is so high that they cant appreciate when a player has a very very good game. had the lakers lost, I would have been right there mocking him. but they won.
Pau Gasols 30/10 was just as crucial in the W as kobes 61...but yeah I suppose I agree, although he could've easily moved the ball more and still won that game, he was clearly set on scoring himself and trying to make people forget that he is the one who injured bynum....and he did that
