A Fan Stormed the Court on Wednesday & Tried to Touch Kobe Bryant

D’Angelo Russell doesn’t need to become an overnight National Basketball Association superstar and Scott doesn’t need to play him more minutes, because winning this season no longer is the objective.

In the end, Miller says the decision will ultimately be up to Team USA basketball director Jerry Colangelo and head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

At night’s end, Bryant had put on his best performance of the season, scoring a season-high 31 points on 42 percent shooting and helping the Lakers seal the deal in a 108-104 win over a pretty decent team in the Wizards. Bryant delivered it at a moment Scott was least suspecting it, in such a nonchalant manner which caught him completely off-guard.

Coach Byron Scott can continue to make outrageous statements, such as: “Yeah, there’s going to be some games like that that you’re just going to live and die with it”, Scott said of Bryant’s shooting, according to ESPN. With Bryant wanting to play every possible game, his off days carry the same meaning as his game days. “I’ve got to cut them down, ‘” Scott said. “Any time you spot a team 33 points off your turnovers, I don’t know how you expect, we are lucky it was a four point game with that, you know”. “I haven’t really had a burning desire to look into it too much, but if I do, if I feel really passionate about it, that’s something I’ll dive into if I feel like I can be a part of a franchise and help the franchise grow”, Bryant shared.

Wall scored 12 straight point for the Wizards in the fourth quarter but each time it seemed Kobe had a response. Life is not as precious to some people as it is for others.

Wizards: “It was bad…. It was kind of cool”, Scott said.

Lakers: Improved to 1-2 during a six-game stretch against Eastern Conference opponents…. That marked a sharp improvement from Tuesday’s performance in Philadelphia, where he scored 20 points on an erratic 7-of-26 clip, including going 4 of 17 from 3-point range. That doesn’t mean deferring to younger players simply because the farewell tour has begun.

Wizards: C Nene (calf) missed his third consecutive game but G Gary Neal (groin) returned after missing two.

Lakers: At the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

The Detroit Pistons came from behind to claim a 127-122 win over the Phoenix Suns thanks to Reggie Jackson’s 34-point haul.
