The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Miami Heat last night at the staples center 108-107. The Black Mamba scored 33 points, but his off-balance bank shot from over Wade’s outstretched hand will definitely rank among the most incredible shots of his career.
The U.S. Olympic teammates were the driving force behind this action packed game, which featured a shoving incident between Lamar Odom and Jermaine O’neal, leading Odom to be ejected.
Pau Gasol scored 22 points and Andrew Bynum added 19 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, who had won seven straight games by double digits.
The Leakers not only improved their league-best record to 15-3, but won their eighth straight game.
Game Quotes:
“That’s Black Mamba,” said Artest. “I knew he was gonna make it.”
“He was supposed to get the ball, I know that,” said Phil Jackson. “What do you want me to say about it? It’s Kobe.”

Imagine if Kob did this against Boston in Staples Game 7 2010, WOW, But instead of a Bank, he would shoot the three with a swish.

— Everything went great except for that “Leaker” typo. Yeah, KB is clutch.

There is little that inspires me more than to watch a Laker game, in particular, Kobe Bryant. There is nothing that Jordan did that Kobe can’t do. If he’s not THE best ever, he’s tied for the best ever. Thank you Kobe for letting us follow you night in and night out on your historical career! I think I speak for many thousands of people when I say, what you bring to the game of basketball is GREATLY appreciated.

Yeah…Kobe is BEYOND AMAZING!!!! Oh yeah…let’s not forget about Fisher. Without that clutch 3 pointer our man KB24 wouldn’t have had the opportunity to thrill us all once again!!! Let’s get that ring!

Just amazing. Ahh it just brings back memories from that 06′ playoff game against the Suns, when he hit the game winner just a little further in from the elbow of the freethrow line box. Vintage Kobe. Gotta RESPECT the mans game. You may not like him as a person but as a basketball player there is no denying he is the BEST. KB24 AKA The Black Mamba.
