A lot of Kobe

    On January 22, 2006 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a 122-104 win over the Toronto Raptors. Bryant had an amazing game all around. He scored 55 of his points during the second half of the game. His teammates scored only 18 points in the half. Bryant in almost 42 minutes of play scored 18 of 20 from the free throw line, 28 of 46 on his two point field goals and 7 of 13 from the three point line. He still had enough on his game that he had 2 assists, 3 steals and 6 rebounds.  Taken in context, for a 27 year old player in his 10th year in the league to have a game like this and to still be playing today in his 15th season with over 28,000 points scored in over 1100 games, this man is clearly on his way to the Hall of Fame.

   The answer to yesterdays trivia question is there were four teams in the Eastern Football League in 1938. All 4 teams were based in Pennsylvania, the Hazleton Redskins, the Reading Rams, the Scranton Miners and the Wilkes-Barre Panthers.

   Todays trivia question is how many seasons did Joe Bryant, Kobes father play in the NBA? The answer in tomorrows blog when we begin a three day look at the crazy world of Hockey.
