Kobe’s final hurrah at the Garden

Kobe Bryant stated that being part of the United States team this coming Olympic tournament means a lot for him despite the alleged refusal of previous invitation. Scott has been the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers since 2014 where Bryant has been a significant player in the duration of his career. In Sunday’s impressive victory over the Raptors, Dragic only racked up two points and three assists in 26 minutes of play.

“That’s a grind, to try to play all 82”, Scott said Monday after the Lakers practiced without Bryant, who was given the day off. “We’re going to talk again”.

Bryant and the Lakers will play the Miami Heat on Tuesday.

Bryant is shooting just 32 percent on an average of 16.2 shots per game through six contests for the Lakers (1-5). Bryant is struggling with injuries and might look to take a few rest as it would do him a world of good. Let us know how you feel by voting in our poll below!

“And I said, ‘Michael, what the hell about me led you to think I was going to approach this any differently?'” Bryant said with a laugh.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Miami Heat 101-88 in a game that remained competitive for the first half and anything but by the final whistle. Prized rookies Julius Randle and D’Angelo Russell meet the Magic for the first time, looking to rebound from two straight slow offensive nights when they combined for 23 points.

A late three-pointer by Langston Galloway and tough defense in the final minutes ruined what mught have been Kobe Bryant’s final game at Madison Square Garden.

“The Black Mamba” has been playing professional basketball since the age of 18.

But, one thing that Kobe would want to accomplish in the immediate future following what could be his last season, is to have another go at a shot to become an Olympics gold medalist in basketball come 2016. Unfortunately, after years of winning championships and making opposing coaches rip out their hair, Bryant’s exist from the game of basketball seems to be forced by Father Time, instead of Bryant’s own choice. “I’ve been pretty consistent with that, so I don’t know how much, what else can I say?” expressing his openness to the possibilities that might emerge during this current season.
